Mueller declined to answer nearly 200 questions during his congressional testimony
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/24/19 | Tim Pearce

Ex-special counsel Robert Mueller declined or evaded 198 questions during more than five hours of testimony on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

Mueller responded to scores of questions from lawmakers with answers such as, "I will leave the answer to our report," "that is beyond my purview," "I can't speak to that," and "pass," according to a NBC News tracker that monitored Mueller's answers.

Mueller testified first in front of the House Judiciary Committee starting at 8:30 a.m. for over three hours before moving on to testify again in front of the House Intelligence Committee. Mueller's second hearing wrapped up at around 3:30 p.m. Mueller testified on his report to Congress on Russian interference in the 2016 election and the allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian agents.

Among the questions he declined to answer were several involving the origins of the report, why it was written in the first place.

I wonder what the ratio of D/R declined questions was.

I think he beat Hillary’s “I can’t recall” responses.

Does anyone know who the two guys who sat behind Muller were?

Boy, you should have seen how many questions I refused to answer when they had that congressional investigation into the Sicilian mafia’s presence in the US.

Or did I dream that?..

Why on earth would he agree to even testify? I almost felt sorry for him as he was clearly having age related issues which is just natural. The questioners spoke so fast that he couldn’t grasp it. It was sad to me, but he’s not a good man, so I don’t really feel sorry for him.

Who was in charge of the FBI when the SAIC, Virtual Case File fiasco went down? Who was in charge when airline schools reported suspicious M.E. men who wanted to fly but not land?

Mueller.
