Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Robert Mueller failed miserably in his mission for the Deep State this morning. His assigned mission today was of course to create in a few hours what he could not find during his 20-month long Witch Hunt: The pretense for impeaching President Donald Trump (I still never tire of typing those three glorious words).
Rather than carry out his assigned duties, Mueller instead presented the stark reality of a doddering, bumbling figurehead who doesn’t even understand what his duties as special counsel were, or of what the final report with his signature on it contained. The last time Americans were treated to so many instances of “I don’t recall,” “I don’t remember,” and “I’m not going to address that” was the last time Hillary Clinton testified before congress while Secretary of State. In fact, here is a video of Mueller presenting himself to the House Judiciary Committee this morning:
What little memory Mueller does still possess in his waning days was also revealed to be highly selective. He could remember minute details about whether and how the weasel Andrew Weissman was involved in picking the team of Trump-haters who filled the special counsel’s staff; he had no problem at all recalling the specific reasons why he dumped the Trump-hating Peter Strzok and his illicit lover Lisa Page from his staff; and he had no problem recalling the exact details of the meeting he held with President Trump and Rod Rosenstein on May 16, 2017 to discuss the open FBI Director’s job – which just happened to be the day before he was appointed to become special counsel by Rosenstein himself.
Yet, this upright man, this pillar of integrity and Washington, DC decorum, had no recollection whatsoever of the series of documented meetings he held with Rosenstein from May 10 through May 15, the week leading up to his appointment. Funny how that works, huh?
Mueller did his best to stick with his obvious script that the only reason why he didn’t seek to indict President Trump for obstruction was due to the DOJ policy preventing the indictment of a sitting President, but he had to give that one up over lunch when his lawyers likely reminded him that he repeatedly told Attorney General William Barr back in March that that DOJ policy had no bearing on that decision. As a result, Mueller meekly corrected the record during his opening afternoon statement to the House Intelligence Committee.
Oops.
Perhaps Mueller’s most astonishing representation during his morning testimony was his statement that Christopher Steele and his phony Dossier were “not in my purview” as special counsel. Huh? Beg pardon? Did I hear that right?
Think about that for a moment: The Steele Dossier, funded by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the DNC, was the event that started the entire Trump/Russia Collusion fantasy. Without that fake Dossier, there would have been no allegations of collusion, no illegal entrapment efforts by the Obama FBI/DOJ/CIA, no illegal FISA warrants, no Rod Rosenstein, no Special Counsel.
But in Mueller’s perverted way of DC Swamp Thought, he had no obligation to spend a moment looking into the origins of the events that led to his appointment in the first place. That statement in and of itself is an outright admission of the despicable bias that bled throughout his entire operation from cradle to grave.
Stunning.
Today was a disaster for the Democrats, plain and simple. I will leave you with a couple of clips, first of Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe – himself a former U.S. Attorney – exposing Mueller’s warped views of DOJ rules:
And second, of the great Jim Jordan leaving Mueller flustered and blubbering:
Epic.
That is all.

Mueller looked completely confused and dumbfounded when John Ratcliffe pointed out that the term ‘exonerate’ is not a legal term and that prosecutors are not in the business of ‘exonerating’, or not “exonerating” those accused of crimes.
Tired of all this unmitigated bloviating.
All this Russia interference happened on OBAMA’s watch. Obama himself stated publicly he knew about Russia’s interference and, in true Obama fashion, told Russia to “knock it off”.
The big change is the GOP started fighting back and this threw him off his game.
People... Even rich wealthy people who happen to be President of United States are innocent until proven guilty... So Mueller had no business exonerating or not exonerating the president... If there are no crimes, no criminal referral and no evidence of wrong doing. There is no exoneration needed.
Creepy Joe is 4 years OLDER that this doddering old man.
Ask any Democrat: “Is anyone above the law, even the President of the United States?”
Of course Democrats will wildly respond that no one is above the law!
Next question: “Are people who are in this country illegally above the law?”
Silence.
I’ve noticed that after every break, Mueller seems more alert. Would a shot of Adrenalin make him more alert?
You think Mueller is confused?
I’m dumbfounded.
Was this testimony called by the Dems to support Trump?
WTH?
Mueller is the biggest political shuttlecock of all time. He didn’t have to take/make the job. I hope future “dignified public servant” victims are watching.
Standard response from a Liberal: "People who are in this country illegally haven't broken any laws."
Is this senility, or was Mueller always this dumb?
Ah yes, Mueller is a SIMP prosecutor for the like of Smolett
All the Dems have to campaign on is their hatred for someone outside their political scam, and that ain't going to play in Peoria.
Stunning."
There's some prime meat...
The same was said at the midterms. They ran on health care and used it to good effect even in border states.
A ruling by scotus against obamacare would sure help us out, but I doubt John Roberts will back that up.
The president needs to find a way to take healthcare off the table.
Neither senility nor stupidity. It was acting.
Did he say that, or is that someone’s reporting on what he said?
Sounds like a report of what he didn’t say.
It was a bad day for the Dems - a very bad day. How do I know? Juan Williams was yelling at Watters for a good three minutes.
