Trump critic Laurence Tribe slams Mueller testimony: The 'hearing was a disaster'
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/24/19 | Ellie Bufkin

Posted on 07/24/2019 3:39:57 PM PDT by Libloather

Noted author, Harvard law professor, and critic of President Trump, Laurence Tribe offered his disparaging opinion of the Wednesday Robert Mueller hearings saying, "Much as I hate to say it, this morning’s hearing was a disaster."

"Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it," he continued. "The effort to save democracy and the rule of law from this lawless president has been set back, not advanced."

His criticism comes amid the former special counsel's appearances before both the House Judiciary and House Intelligence committees, which have received criticism due to his poor performance.

Tribe’s law license should be yanked immediately....... for slandering Mr. Trump (”this lawless president”) ................when Tribe has not presented a single shred of evidence that DJT has done anything.. .not even jaywalk in 1969.
And, as Tribe knows, there have now been FOUR major investigations of DJT and NONE has produced ANYTHING “lawless” at all about Trump. nada nil nothing zilch zero

The hearing was indeed a DISASTER! And the funny thing is that the DemocRATS and their leftist media allies insisted it be shown gavel to gavel by ALL THE MAIN TELEVISION CHANNELS. So, hilariously, anyone at home who wanted to watch television was witness to the Russia-Russia-Russia probe’s final BONFIRE — presided over by ‘RATS.

I asked that about 25 years ago. Turned out, he was the last person to write a half-decent book on Constitutional Law.

Obviously, his rants point to why it was only half-decent...

Yes! The Senate should call Weissmann to testify. He’s the guy that ran this circus.

Yep, and saving the rule of law means abandoning it with amnesty for illegal aliens.

Sadly, there are progressives wearing R jerseys that also believe that.

Sounds like Tripe is intimately aware of what’s in the Mueller report. Perhaps he’d care to share whatever it contains. Starting with Robert Mueller.

“The effort to save democracy and the rule of law from this lawless president has been set back, not advanced.”


So after 2 1/2 years, an unlimited budget, Hillary-loving lawyers/prosecutors on staff and they couldn’t seem to find any law that President Trump violated? And no one involved in this “investigation” committed suicide, was killed in a “robbery” or succumbed to an unexpected illness. He’s diabolically clever, this Donald Trump.

Peggy, is that you?

Fun fact: I’m lucky enough to have a CDR copy burned direct from raw studio master tapes. Ditto on her iconic “Fever”. Both “dry” before the commercial release reverb was added and with some studio chatter deleted from the commercial release. Amazing sound quality!!!

“is that all there is to a circus?”

(admission: I had to search the lyrics to find out what song it was.)

“Noted author, Harvard law professor,”

No need to waste time by reading further.

The #Schadenfreude Larry serves up 24/7, *belch* it’s almost too good ... The mere idea that I can shit up his timeline with his own damning words against Mueller’s vapid, feeble testimony, well I couldn’t resist...

I’m sorry...I should’ve given Peggy Lee credit. It’s a classic.

That sack of crap Laurence Tribe should not be “teaching” at Harvard.

He isn’t fit to scrub the toilets and the urinals at that law school.

I heard Joe DiGenova today too, on The Howie Carr Show.

I’m in Maine.
