The political world was stunned on July 24, 2019, when Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller testified before the House and Senate. It was not anything Mueller said that shocked observers — it was his demeanor. The 74-year-old special counsel appeared confused at times. He sometimes had difficulty answering the most basic questions. He had difficulty forming complex sentences.
The Mueller at the witness table was a far cry from the Mueller who took over the FBI 18 years earlier. Colleagues remembered a man who was super sharp, on top of everything, a micromanager. Now, many of those watching were concerned.
"This is delicate to say," former Obama aide David Axelrod tweeted, "but Mueller, whom I deeply respect, has not publicly testified before Congress in at least six years. And he does not appear as sharp as he was then."
Fox News's Chris Wallace was more blunt: "I think it's been a disaster for the Democrats," he said, "and I think it's been a disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller."
Twitter buzzed with talk about Mueller. But President Trump's legal team was not surprised.
More than a year earlier, at a meeting in April 2018, the president's lawyers had gotten a disturbing look at Mueller's condition. And even before that, they had cause to be concerned about Mueller's possible cognitive issues and what those problems might mean for the special counsel investigation...

Mueller was a deep-state warhorse, brought in from pasture, to give their Russia-scam “gravitas.”
The Dems John Gill gambit.
Remember Thomas Eagleton and his shock treatments? One quote: “I wouldn’t want to vote for guy who was hooked up to jumper cables”.
They’re really worried about Feinstein, and the hearings in the Senate judiciary committee. She’s another one.
Maybe the human body develops a tolerance for adrenochrome and it isn’t as effective anymore????
Trump curse?
Mueller was a figurehead. Weissmann and his deputies were running the “Trump” DOJ for the first two years of Trump’s admin due to the recusal of Sleepy Sessions and the rubber stamp of defacto AG Rod Rubberstampstein.
I agree, about 20 years ago I was at a San Francisco lunch where Mueller spoke about a week before he went to DC to head the FBI, it was an amazing talk he gave and was nothing like the man at that hearing.
And of course there’s Pelosi.
I have this theory that these senile actors (Joe Biden, Mueller, et al) are all using this as a feint to keep from being brought up on any misdeeds. What’s that quote they always trot out “we’re not made that way”. Meaning, all Deep State hoodlums will get a pass and will lie in repose in our Washington halls of shame.
His drool cup was a clue.
My thoughts too. Nadler pooping his pants. If Nancy’s teeth would just fall out on live TV.....
Mushmouf Pelosi...
Robert Mueller is 76 years old. Not everyone stays sharp in their old age like Donald Trump or Clint Eastwood.
using this as a feint to keep from being brought up on any misdeeds
yes, would not disagree with you at all

True but it’s only an effective tactic in the case because the coup is bipartisan in nature. To this day Weissmann had not testified to Congress. That can only be because the GOP wants it that way.
It seems the left has a new tactic-use mentally declining officials who have credentials as a front for their purposes
Biden-Mueller !!!! The dementia ticket.
You are correct.
I doubt that Mueller had paid any attention at all to the ‘investigation’ or report. He was a figurehead.
(Dementia will happen to many of the best of us, if we live long enough. Responsible people of character are able to recognize when it starts to come on, and they bow out. Others are USED by people who find them to be very useful IDIOTS.)
