Jordan is doing a great job showing Mueller for the tool he is.

Mueller was asked, “Did you actually totally exonerate the president?"

He responded simply, “No,” and said, “The president was not exculpated.”

When asked if it was true Trump could be charged when he leaves office, Mueller responded simply, “True.”

That’s pretty clear cut.

Actually, it's not pretty clear cut. As a technical matter of law, of course it's true he could be charged after he leaves office. That doesn't answer whether Mueller thinks he SHOULD be charged when he leaves office, which is the only question anyone cares about.

Weissman wrote the report

Agreed.

Mueller: I don't know where you're getting your information.
Jim Jordan: I got it from your report.

Here's Robert Mueller saying he's "not familiar" with Fusion GPS.

Which is shocking...because Fusion GPS put together the Steele Dossier (paid for by Clinton) which was used to spy on the Trump campaign over non-existent Russia collusion. #MuellerHearings

They just started and now taking a 5min break...my guess is the Dems trying to figure out how to shut this down....

Mueller is just terrible!

My impression from this hearing is the rats are offering nothing that they haven't been repeating over and over for months, which sound like vapid sound bites by now, while the repubs are using the opportunity to get some pretty significant and not widely known facts before the public.

Although this may be impossible with the totally partisan press, this hearing just may succeed in shifting the whole focus for this sham.

As of now, Mueller is a disaster, not only for himself but also for Democrats

So....was Mueller really just a figurehead to give some degree of  swamp gravitas to this sham investigation while his Democrat deputies ran it as the absurd witch hunt that it was?

The answer is, yes. Mueller’s “reputation” as a solid investigator is being used as the democrats’ beard.

Jordan: "Who told Papdapoulos [Russians have dirt on Clinton]?"

Mueller: "I can't get into ..."

"Yes, you can. Because you wrote about it. You gave us the answer. Page 192 of the report ... Joseph Mifsud. ... He lied, and you don't charge him. Why?"

"I can't get into it."

Exactly why they will shut it down in short order.

Media portrayal of Mueller: sterling, heroic, supremely competent pursuer of truth

Actual performance of Mueller: bumbling, shaky, can't recall key facts

Now we know why he hid from the public for 2+ years

Why would DOJ appoint a clearly foggy and tired (but establishment-revered) 74 year old Mueller as the top dog of the most important political investigation in a generation?

To give cover to obvious partisan hacks beneath him who were engaged in a 2 year long ambush of Trump

 Grills #Mueller on why the 'central figure' Prof Joseph Mifsud - whose info was the FBI's reason to  launch investigation into Trump - lied 3 times during FBI interviews wasn't charged for lying like all the others charged.

Now, Mifsud's lawyer has come forward saying his client was working for western intel in targeting George Papadopolous. Meaning: The FBI and Western intel appeared to be digging into Trump long before launch of "Crossfire Hurricane' Also, appears Mifsud was directed by intel

#Mueller appears to be off, weak - does not know what's in his report the majority of the time and refuses to answer basic questions. Remember this is a hearing the Democrats begged for. it's backfiring. We see from this hearing that the investigation was politically motivated

The biggest take away from the #MuellerHearing so far is that the special counsel appears confused, disoriented, & ill-prepared - a figurehead who doesn’t know what his biased team did on his watch - I agree with Republicans & President @realDonaldTrump
 #NoCollusion #WitchHunt

[austingirl]

Every last democrap is asking the same questions about Trump wanting McGahn to fire Mueller. Beat a dead horse.
