Actually, Robert Mueller Was Awesome
The Politico ^ | July 25, 2019 | Renato Mariotti

Posted on 07/27/2019 7:13:42 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony Wednesday has been described as “excruciatingly awkward,” “confused,” “struggling” and “a stammering, stuttering mess.”

I saw something completely different. From my perspective, after six hours of testimony, it was the 74-year-old career prosecutor and law enforcement officer who won the day. It wasn’t that close.

Tasked with overseeing the most high-profile investigation of our time, Mueller managed to complete the investigation without appearing to have a partisan agenda, with both sides embracing him at times. Even Trump said he acted “honorably”—before he turned on Mueller as “conflicted” and partisan—and touted “total exoneration” soon after Mueller concluded his work. Mueller’s down-the-middle, leak-free handling of the high-stakes investigation was an object lesson in professionalism.

And Wednesday’s performance was no different.

Virginia used to have very stringent health rules regarding driving.
When I developed adult onset epilepsy I was surprised that I didn’t need a doctors approval to drive. I just had to promise not to drive for six months after a seizure. No turning my license in, no medical testing to get it back. Just a promise.

Mueller took one last job for the deep state to burnish his “Mr Honesty” credentials and ended up looking like a doddering, stuttering mannequin no longer able to carry the load for his masters.

Well it does depend on each states laws. In my state a physician is required to report dementia patients .....a family member just went through this a few months ago.

We should now expect POTUS to pounce with both feet and pounce HARD on the RATS.

Yes, each state is different. I just wonder how many epileptics in Virginia are driving when they shouldn’t be?
I think Virginia went away from the old system because once you lost your license it was nearly impossible to get it back.

The demented old man act could have been an act after all - a dirty cop covering his butt. He will never get what he deserves if everyone thinks he’s senile.
