Predictions for mueller's testimony

[K1052]

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.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

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.

he seems very nervous

 

[kage69]

Mueller looks like he might have a heart attack.

Liking his candid answers so far though...

 

[vi edit]

he seems very nervous

He's 75 years old and mortal. I think age is starting to catch up to him.

 

[K1052]

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

 

[vi edit]

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

 

[UNCjigga]

Holy shit...Nadler is wasting no time here and Mueller isn’t mincing words...

Follow Feinberg's thread. he's pretty good and does great fact checking on the fly.

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

Perfect. Thank you. Was just looking on Twitter for a live tweets.

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

 

[vi edit]

I think he's intentionall playing slowball here to slow down Republic circus.

 

[UNCjigga]

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.

This may all end today with Trump having a stroke ...

 

[vi edit]

What on earth was that rambling idiocy from Ratcliffe?

 

[UNCjigga]

I can see the FOX News headlines now: “Did Mueller even READ the Mueller Report?”

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.

 

[HomerJS]

A big nothing burger. Its my understanding he wont stray from what is in his report, which we already know.

But, in todays politics, anything is possible.

We do? Trump says he was fully exonerated

 

[dawp]

What on earth was that rambling idiocy from Ratcliffe?

his only purpose is to cast doubt on the obstruction justice

 

[HomerJS]

I'm listening now. Mueller doesn't sound so good. No energy.

 

[nOOky]

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.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Democrats will fuck this up because that’s what we do
