The house issued subpoenas and he will answer unlike virtually every other administration official.

Nothing Berder or Shit Just Got Real?

 

[RamIt]

Nice. Looking forward to the testimony.

 

[kage69]

About time.

Hopefully it finally triggers impeachment hearings. Do your duty Dems, let the Reps wear the egg with pride if that's their choice.

 

[Maxima1]

Going to be fun watching the Republicans eat their own.

 

[DrDoug]

It's about time! I'm ready with the unsalted popcorn... I'll let the Republicans salt it with their tears of rage.

Watch Felonious D try to block him from testifying.

 

[TheVrolok]

We'll see. He's not going to anything beyond what's in the report. But perhaps physically seeing/hearing him say it will move the needle for some of the wafflers.

 

[ondma]

Mueller is the waffler. Hope congress at least makes him sweat a little.

I would expect more opinion or hypothetical questions. "Would you indict were he not POTUS?"

Honestly...I hope the party of evil keeps shoveling this till next Nov. They have been doing this dog and pony show for over 2 years and don't have anything to charge Trump with. Since the majority of people who were under Mr. M were members of the Evil party don't you think they have tried there best to corner Trump?

If you want to see feathers fly wait till the AG and his constituents bring forth their reports. Good chance there will be some spending some time making license plates.

Just the run up to Mueller showing up on all the airwaves in front of congress is a sure recipe for Trump to go out of his goddamed gourd.

Lighten up Francis. This investigation didn't go on a long as Benghazi and I don't have to remind you of the number of indicted, guilty of committing crimes and jailed people from this record setting corrupt administration there are.

BTW - How many members of Obamas administration were indicted by Repubicans after all their investigations?

ZERO, bitches!!

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Nothing burger will come from this. I don't know why you guys think that everytime something new comes that THIS IS THE SMOKING GUN!

Seek help for your poisoned mind.

You can count me out of your blanket statement about what "you guys think". He's testifying and we will see what flows from that. I'm actually expecting little more than we already know because it seems that Republicans have decided that conservative lawlessness is now the new law in our country. My popcorn statement refers to the meltdown Felonious D is probably going to have as the date approaches.

 

[trenchfoot]

Wringing of hands, nervous twitches at the corners of his mouth, unconsciously plucking at his eyebrows, restless nights thinking of Mueller and his horde of FBI Democrats peeking and poking into every single hidey-hole Trump hid his most dangerous secrets in, Pelosi and every female Trump sexually abused looking down their noses at him in his dreams, grinning from ear to ear and slowly nodding their heads at him.

Yeh, I hope this is exactly what Trump goes through his every waking and sleeping moment.

The shithead deserves even worse.

 

[sportage]

Strange.... HAAAAnnity and Fox are sure freaking out.
It's like KEEP CALM, KEEP CALM. NO COLLUSION. NO COLLUSION. TAKE A BREATH. TAKE A BREATH.
Honestly, if Trump really had nothing to fear and if Mueller was just wasting his time testifying, then you'd think Hannity and Fox and the Whitehouse would welcome Mueller testifying.
If Mueller's appearance leads to nothing and committee democrats are left holding their weenies in hand, well then case closed.
Democrats will have run out of not only options but more so out of creditably.
And Trump could really claim full exoneration.
Think it thru Sean, this could be a good thing.
And when Trump is exoneration by Mueller's appearance then you FU**-ers over at Fox can stop hounding Hillary too.

 

[cytg111]

Sooo... War with Iran within the next three weeks?

 

[dank69]

This will bring zero new information. Where do things stand on getting the underlying evidence? Oh that's right, WH told DOJ to stonewall and the consequences were? Oh that's right, nothing. Same for all the people refusing to turn over Trump's taxes. Same for all the people refusing to testify.

 

[nOOky]

I'd be surprisd if anything of substance comes out of it. He obviously wants to protect his reputation, and his press conference solidified what we can expect. Not saying anything about the attorney general and emphasizing that everything he has to say is already in the report, I doubt he'll break down and say right out that the President is a crook. What can he do but reiterate what's already been documented, he is a Republican after all and not likely a friend to the Democrats despite his work.

 

[DrDoug]

Reports are that eleven days after Mueller issued his report Barr shut down seven separate investigations Muller was running. I sure would like to hear Mueller's opinion on Barr closing down those investigations before they were completed.

That's not obstruction at all....

Nah, I think you’ll see several points movement in the polls in favor of impeachment after this, which is of course the point.

Polls show a large percentage of America either doesn’t know what Mueller found or believes lies about what he found. The purpose of these hearings is not to uncover new things but to publicize the criminal findings Mueller already made. As I suspect these hearings will get a lot of news coverage they will probably be effective in doing that.

Even if you don’t succeed in getting majority support for impeachment this is an effective 2020 campaign tool as it reinforces Trump’s criminality.

I sadly agree. Nothing Mueller could say will impact Congressional leadership or the 2020 election as this is all "normal" these days. Bitch, complain, have hearings, do nothing, defend, disregard, twist the facts, and more are the new norm. Smoking guns don't matter when Presidents can shoot people in the street.

I doubt many people are expecting much new out of him but remember when he had that news conference and simply reiterated what he had already written? Polls supporting impeachment went way up and he didn’t do anything other than say what he had already said, but in a way easier for lazy Americans to consume.

That’s the point of these hearings.

I don't think that matters as much as it should. As I just said this is the new norm and Pelosi seems to be looking at this in strictly political terms. Why I find that abhorrent is because this is not about Trump being reelected, but the remainder of the so-called Republic's future in perpetuity. Nancy will by her lack of moral imperatives approve everything Trump does for future Presidents because the lesson to be learned is "I can do almost anything because my opposition is too weak to do more than go through motions".

I hope I'm wrong, I really do.
