Predictions for mueller's testimony

[akenbennu]

Now here's a shocker. Fox News coverage is limited to "Mueller needed to have questions repeated" and the entire article just discusses the GOP reps asking him questions. Nothing of any substance at all.

I had wondered what sort of coverage Fox News would give. So they aren't live broadcasting the hearings at all?

So far most of the headlines tomorrow will probably be: Muller says Trump "not exonerated".

Which is what the report said of course but not what Trump has been insisting.

They've been covering it AFAIK. Though expect when packages are cut for later broadcast the usual heavy slant will be present.

They are playing to an audience of one.

Mueller has already said enough, added enough context to the written report, for the House to start an impeachment investigation.

Mueller does not look or sound very good.

Ignoring the political things, Mueller is providing damning confirmation which adds weight and context to the report in a substantial way. That he isn't banging the table is irrelevant as well as fantasies of angsty revenge. He isn't weak as demonstrated by his seeming amusement at people yelling at him. It has taken a bit of time to get the feel of the room, but he's not falling apart. I suspect his hearing troubles make him appear confused because he has trouble locating speakers, and his health appears to have suffered. But where it matters he has delivered, providing ample cause and opportunity for impeachment. Now the ball is squarely on the shoulders of Pelosi and apologists cannot free her from her responsibility, actions or lack thereof.

One Republican member tried to defend Trump's trying to get Mueller by saying he was protecting himself from Strzok and Page.

I did some quick searches

Trump tried to get McGahn to fire Mueller June 2017
S&P were still sending texts to each other May 2017

So at the time Trump tried to fire Mueller he didn't know about S&P yet.

If Pelosi is not starting the impeachment proceedings after this I gather that she never will.

NOTICE how republicans are trying to denounce why the Russia thing started in the first place?
Trying to label the whole instigation of the Russia thing as FAKE NEWS in the first place?
Trying to claim the whole idea of Trump woking with Russians was all a phony made-up scheme by FBI Trump haters and by democrats.

This theory might make sense if......
If this were all made-up and faked news, then why did Donald Trump try so so hard to hide it?
Why then if this was all made-up fake accusation, why then did Trump freak and try so hard to cover it up?

The "doesn't make sense" part of that republican theory are Trump's actions following made no sense if Trump were in fact innocent.
And proves this was not some fake made-up allegation after all.
Trump's actions prove Trump is indeed guilty and did indeed conclude with the Soviets regardless of how the cat was let out of the bag.

And lets not miss the forest for the trees, here.....
Trump loves Putin. Absolutely adores Putin.
And Putin feared Hillary as president.
There is the smoking gun proving the guilt of Donald Trump.

Feed back loop engaged! So sad. I yearn for the days when we had an executive capable of thinking for himself. Being dementia free was cool too.

I was only referring to his health. From a health perspective, IMO, he does not look or sound well.

That was my sense of your meaning.

I think buck fucked up

 

[emperus]

I think buck fucked up

He should have stopped. Seemed to have woken Mueller up as well.

 

[pete6032]

The whole 5 minute thing basically means he can't answer any questions properly.

 

[Jhhnn]

I think buck fucked up

That's generally what he does.

 

[emperus]

Democrats need to swear in Muellers chief of staff.

yup, got mueller to say the a sitting president can be indicted after he leaves office, trumps gotta be shitting bricks

 

[K1052]

I guess the Dems can thank Buck for generating a clip that will lead every news segment about this. Republican overconfidence truly is the counterweight to Dem ineffectiveness in these settings.

 

[Maxima1]

Where's Pelosi?

LIEU (D-CA): "The reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of the OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?

MUELLER: That is correct.

 

[fskimospy]

So far I've been very impressed with the Democrats, we now have Mueller in sworn testimony describing how the president committed multiple felonies.

Excellent work by Judiciary so far, this is the most effective questioning I have ever seen.
