Depends (no pun intended) .... did he WANT to take down the democrat party or just help the effort to get rid of all these never Trump schlubs ?
Befuddled. No as sly as he thought he was.
The rats somehow made him testify. He was pissed that he had to testify so he just played dumb! It worked!
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.
I think we have to take the deeds of his entire legal career to decide if he was faking it or if it was karma.
I thought of this too, while he was in front of the first committee. I had to go into town 15 minutes into the 2nd one.
Sometimes, it seemed like he might be acting, to display the image of a doddering old fart unable to remember much, bordering on senile, maybe everyone will give me a pass out of sympathy.
But much more often I got the impression he really was unable to remember what he did know, or should have known, and not only didn’t write the report that has his name on it, I don’t think he’s ever even read the thing.
My overall impression, I don’t think it was an act, he really was nothing but a figurehead and knows very little about his own investigation. Weissman is the one who knows all the details...Mueller was nothing but a name to put on the paperwork.
I don’t think he’s a good enough actor to fake the stuttering, the deer in the headlights looks, stammering and unable to remember or even say what he wanted...
He convinced me he didn’t even know where he was.
I have not seen any pushback from the Left on this. Do they deny it or not?
A Deep State anti-Trump SWAMPER!!!
Or a man who wishes he’d never started this thing now that his hired hands haven’t been able to hit paydirt, and just wants to go retire in peace without starting any more controversies that he will be called-back to explain.
He was used as a beard by filthy Democrat scum. It was elder abuse, something we all know they are low enough to commit without remorse. I would think after the Kavenaugh hearings everyone would be clued-in to how truly vile one must be to hold a D beside their name.
After listening to his first round, I announced to my hubby that he was faking it. I tweeted it to Sekulow.
Staged tactic to avoid serious consequences like arkanicide or imprisonment with the unwashed masses
Bet someone in his family was dancing all the way to the bank after his stunt.
I didn’t even think it was a good fake.. just mho.
Just one man’s opinion - If it was a ruse and act, there would be many subordinates scrambling for excuses and to give him more credit/responsibility. I don’t see any others.

Attempted slyness with massive fail.
His having appointed a guy who was at the Javits Center on Election Night 2016 ready for a party as his chief deputy proves that Rosenstein *and* Mueller are Swamp Creatures of the first order.
Bewitched, bothered, bewildered...
“...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!!
And that brings us right back to his good "BFF" Comey.
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.
