MUELLER’S TESTIMONY BOMBED

Laurence Tribe ✔ @tribelaw Much as I hate to say it, this morning’s hearing was a disaster. Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it. The effort to save democracy and the rule of law from this lawless president has been set back, not advanced.

The most shocking instance that I am aware of is that Mueller was unfamiliar with Fusion GPS, the firm run by that was hired by Glenn Simpson that was hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign to dig up (or fabricate) dirt on Donald Trump.

“When discussing the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, you reference ‘the firm that produced the Steele reporting.’ The name of that firm was Fusion GPS. Is that correct?” Chabot asked.

Mueller asked for the page number the congressman was referring to, and fumbled through his more than 400-page report.

“Page 103. That’s correct- Volume II. When you talk about the firm that produced the Steele reporting, the name of the firm that produced that was Fusion GPS. Is that correct?”

“I am not familiar with—with that, I—,” Mueller replied.

If Mueller doesn’t know who Fusion GPS is, he not only had little or nothing to do with the production of the report that bears his name, he couldn’t even have been following the news for the past two years. Or else his capacities have faded badly in recent months.

One way or another, the day was a disaster for the Democrats. Whether it deals a death blow to their efforts to keep the Russia hoax alive remains to be seen.

As I said on another thread. Mueller didn’t just crash and burn. He was the freakin’ Hindenburg.

Unfortunately, the MSM-Democrats will just pretend it never happened, and go on beating the same drums they were beating before Mueller's testimony. Today's debacle will go into the memory hole.

A figurehead puppet with dementia who allowed his name to be abused. Well past his mental prime.

When Axelrod and Tribe say you blew it, you REALLY blew it.

The best part is that it was the Democrats who wanted to bring their hero on the big stage. So ... was the movie better than the book?

So, if he was not in charge of the report will he give his salary for the last two years back?

None of the above. Mueller just doesn’t want to admit he was part of a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the President of the United Staes.

Off topic, but have not seen Mr. Magoo cartoons in years. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were banned nowadays.
