We won't move the political football any further forward. I will say though, this deputy guy getting sworn in later today is definitely getting under the skin of Tweeter in Chief. There's something going on there that has his tighty whiteys in a bunch.

Whenever the spotlight swings off Trump he sets himself on fire to get it back. Really just an incredible narcissist.

So far he's repeating his original statement.

He stated he will be adhering to the DOJ's restrictions. It looks like he won't be rising to the occasion.

Well that was unexpected.

Did you totally exonerate the president?

No

Does that say there was no obstruction?

No

The President was trying to exert undue influence over the investigation?

That is correct.

Mueller looks like he might have a heart attack.

Liking his candid answers so far though...

Basically yea he committed lots of obstruction but because of OLC guidelines we couldn't charge him or say so.

So far this first 5 from Nadler is surgical and on point. No circus, just straight up yes/no.

Is anyone willing to update the thread (or ideally a single post) with notable updates? I can't watch as I'm at work :(

This will be painful, Mueller looks old and feeble and appears to have hearing issues.

Is Collins conducting a tractor auction or a line of questioning?

He seems to be flustered with Collins...basically Collins is saying “hey in the report you said collusion and conspiracy are synonymous, so if there’s no conspiracy, we can conclude “no collusion?” Mueller seemed to be unaware that language was in the report.

Doesn’t bode well for his overall credibility as a witness, based on how TV sound bites work.

What on earth was that rambling idiocy from Ratcliffe?

I would assume there is more to that quote. I think Republicans know Mueller is old and feeble and they can hammer him with impunity.

He's being hammered pretty rapidly, I can't even keep up to the questions as they are being read. Lots for him to take in all at once, I don't blame him for getting behind a bit.
