The Robert Mueller Investigation

[WhatTheBuck 28788]

Nice mispronunciation of Veselnitskaya. 

[SubliminalHorn 6806]

After this Mueller needs to retire permanently

[Ted Lange 16110]

BUT HILLARY!!!!!111!!!!!

Hank Johnson with a good shaving job this morning.

[Anastasis 23477]

Obviously I have my own bias, but not following up on the Russian connections that fold into the DNC in an investigation of Russian interference seems like quite the blind spot.  Not in my purview. 

[GopherRock 1765]

Is this Jerry Nadler taking over questioning?

[TwiceHorn 31506]

Just for the record, asking a questioner to repeat the question is a legit tactic.  It makes sure you understand the question, gives you time to formulate your answer, and slows things down.  It can have a cost in credibility, depending on how sloppy the questions are.

It’s really embarrassing that we as a country send such low iq, useless, feckless, posturing shit bags to write our laws and represent us in Congress.  That is a comment on Congress as a whole.  I wouldn’t hire these pathetic losers to pick up dog shit in my back yard.

Comey was soooo much better as a witness. 

[Anastasis 23477]

Maybe somebody will ask him about the Russian disinformation that ran through the FBI and influenced Comey's actions wrt pressers, as reported in WaPo. 

[Anastasis 23477]

We're an hour in. Can we get a pulse reading from the board on whether this testimony is going to move the needle on impeachment?  

I don't see it. 

[Anastasis 23477]

Gohmert. Great.

Nope. 

[WhatTheBuck 28788]

Pay no attention to GOP obfuscation. It doesn't matter that Hillary hired Fusion GPS. It doesn't matter that Strzok and Page didn't like Trump. All the people in Trump's campaign still did all the dirty shit that they did. On their own. And lied about it. Hillary, Steele, Strzok. and Page didn't make them do any of it. 

Also, fuck Louie Gohmert. 

[4th&Five 41563]

People chose sides 2 years ago. Of course this won’t matter. 

[retread 2951]

Rapid fire questioning is annoying. Most Americans won't watch 10 minutes of this. It deserves more than one five-hour hearing.

Mueller looking..... old.

 

[Anastasis 23477]

Not familiar with that one, someoen care to flesh out "I take your question"

Basically means fuck you dumbass?

[Eastwood 4394]

Is this is the lack of decorum that we are to expect from the 1st District of Texas?

[speed817 19395]

gohmert is a drama queen lol

Didn't understand that, either. 

[David Dennison 18925]

If Democrats were smart, a big if, they would use this hearing as a justification for calling every lawyer who worked in the Special Counsel's office up to the Hill.

[Anastasis 23477]

The juxtaposition of Gohmert and Deutch is something.

Gohmert has a 100% approval on texags 

[Pancho 44860]

 

[TwiceHorn 31506]

This is why I was skeptical when Hugo kept insisting that Mueller must testify and that "all would be revealed."  Also why I maintain that most public congressional hearings are a complete shitshow and serve no real purpose.

[Loco 3752]

Deutch is my Rep...  seems like I'm getting my money's worth.

[Red Five 40868]

I thought we’d hear “I direct you to the report” a bunch but Jesus not this much.

[Mojo Hand 4580]

Nadler started strong, but the Dems are making a mistake by trying to get him to just restate facts from the report.   They need to lay out the context, then get Mueller to confirm his conclusions in that context, and then they need to give shape to what his answer means.

[Anastasis 23477]

this is one of the questions that I posed earlier upthread re: Barr/Mueller

[Ted Lange 16110]

Republican from Alabama actually sounds sane, that pays off 1500 on a 100 bet.  Of course she isn’t a 80 year old white dude, so that does make some sense. 

[Anastasis 23477]

Mueller punts on the answers.  That's bullshit.

But Trump said he wouldn’t be watching the Mueller testimony......

To be fair, he's probably reviewing intelligence reports.

Yeah. They're fucking it up. Democrats are incompetent. Republicans are mostly part over country traitors. This is our government.

We are way beyond the democrats fucking this up.

The "We need to wait for Mueller" bit during the first three months of the year was one of the worst strategies and basically begged Bill Barr to do what he did.  I don't think the democrats knew how incriminating the Mueller Report was going to be and they ended up caught off guard.  The Dems were the dog that finally caught the car and they didn't know what to do.  Imagine if they started the impeachment process before Mueller and the Report landed in the middle of an impeachment process.  It may have compelled public opinion to really shift but nah...  

It's clear the democrats never had any intention of impeaching Trump.  They have been running away from the facts and evidence nearly the whole time.  They will slow roll everything from the tax returns to this hearing but it's only to create the appearance of them doing their jobs.  

[Eastwood 4394]

Well, this is a giant waste of time. So, your typical congressional hearing.

[Anastasis 23477]

AL's questions regarding the process behind the report and related events were appropriate and fair imo, and directly address much of the narrative that has been pushed regarding Barr/Mueller interactions. He punted on all of them.

I know you’re trolling and doing a bit, but the fact that the sitting President could be indicted the minute he leaves office for acts completed *while President* is a big fucking deal. 

[Anastasis 23477]

AL appears to have the best GOP rep on this committee.  Ponder that. 

[David Dennison 18925]

One thing is becoming clear.

This isn't the end of any of this.
