My bad....you of course are correct....It’s “Sammy the Bull”, “Vinny the Chin”.

“...Befuddled Old Man or Sly as a Fox, bought and paid for long ago and MANY TIMES OVER!!”

He’s NOT Mueller… he’s what’s LEFT of Mueller, after having sold himself as often and for as much as he COULD!!

If he said he knew about Fusion, he would be saying he knew about Hillary paying for the dossier. They are inseparable.

And that brings us right back to his good "BFF" Comey.

Quite simply, throughout his testimony, he was committed to distancing himself personally from any of the crimes any of these people may have committed by pretending to know little, if anything, about any of them. In short, he said such things were beyond his “purview.”

While I personally believe that he was disengaged and not in command of the facts, I will say this much:

For someone who apparently didn't know what was in the report, he did seem to know what he WOULDN'T talk about.

That's the other side of the same coin.

“It is quite possible Mueller was intentionally constructing a new public image in an attempt to shield himself from being indicted for his participation in possible criminal conduct he knows is currently being investigated by the Department of Justice.”

Mueller not only went Vinny the Chin, but now has to live with that for the rest of his life. I see him in the not too distant future doing an interview at CNN, wearing only pajamas.

Here’s what I don’t understand - when he said “I’m not going to answer that.”, why wasn’t he pressed? Was he taking the 5th? Or...? He was under oath!

At any rate, it sure looks like Mueller has backfired badly for the Dems!

"I'm still as sharp as a tack," Mueller tells his 'smart banana phone' (thought he was talking to Pelosi).

Forgot to add that he did this so as to NOT shine a light on the fact that he wouldn’t answer any questions from the Republicans!

If he were truly befuddled, the msm would have been wringing their hands over this oh so sad and disturbing situation many months ago. It would have been the perfect excuse to drag this witch hunt out even longer. First, they’d have to muddle through weeks and months to decide who’d take his place and then, of course, the new guy would have to be given more time to get up to speed. They could have dragged this process out until right before the election. But it didn’t happen so he’s nothing but a great actor. Give him a Tony.

The premise being he is no longer in attack mode and is in full fledged CYA mode.

Mueller’s answers appear to follow two very different patterns:

1. To a democrat. The democrat would provide a long rehearsed and written accusation “for the record” of many different charges regardless of accuracy or relevance, and Mueller would simply answer “Yes.” (Or, see my report. “)

2. To a republican.
But when the republicans asked a question, Mueller would hem and haw, delay and mumble his response, stammer and question each page number or quote, demand his partner/lawyer find each page and delay through the republicans’ five minute limit.
The republican would NOT be allowed to ask a question completely, and - when answered at all, the response would be confused and useless in clarifying detailed problems with the Mueller Report.

The problem with pretending to be feeble is that he can never stop pretending. Is he willing to spend the rest of his life in a nursing home? All for hatred of President Trump? Maybe, but don’t slip up Bob, not for one second. We are watching you.
This looks like a job for Project Veritas.

He was smart enough to understand through a brief trip to the DOJ that his answers to lib questions could send him up the river for his “opinions” rather than facts. So he didn’t change them, he just refused to say them. He’s smarter than he looks, apparently.

Befuddled as a sly fox. ;-)

I still say it's all an act, but Body Language Ghost has some interesting insight regarding Mueller's demeanor on YouTube.

Once Trump was elected, the goal of the Swamp Creatures was survival: deflect, delay, deny. At that, he and the rest of the seditionists have been successful.

He is a career-long gangster who was rewarded and promoted for being one by the UniParty. He has many crimes to hide, not just Uranium One.

Deflect: onto Flynn, Manafort, Stone. Delay: declassification of just about anything. Deny: any wrongdoing.

“If that ******* is elected, we’ll all hang!” - or words to that effect. Have any of them hung, two-and-a-half years later?

Polite transfers and resignations, with taxpayer-funded pensions.

Paul Manafort is metaphorically hanging. He will never recover, even if he is released. Whatever crimes he may or may not have committed, what was done to him was un-Constitutional lawfare in broad daylight. They did it with literal impunity, and it could be done to any other American citizen.

Donald Trump and The Plan did not protect Paul Manafort, whose only pertinent crime was to help the aforementioned Donald Trump to be elected. I do not trust Donald Trump and The Plan to protect any American citizen after what I have seen. Donald Trump is preoccupied trying to protect Donald Trump.

Which of the coup has been SWATted? Which of the coup is in solitary confinement? Which of the coup has had all his residences seized by the Federal bureaucrats?

I consider Mueller and company quite successful at their real goal, all things considered.

That may change for them - but it will forever be too late to save Paul Manafort, an American citizen who was destroyed by the Deep State while all of Congress, and of the Department of Justice, watched.
