'Disoriented' Mueller's stumbling responses to questions during blockbuster hearing leave social media concerned the special counsel seems a 'confused old man' but some think it is all a strategy to frustrate the committee members
Mueller faced members of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees on Wednesday morning at a highly-anticipated hearing on the Russia investigation
Viewers reacting on social media noticed Mueller stumbled at several points
'Mueller is acting like he doesn't know what's going on,' one viewer wrote on Twitter. 'He's acting like a confused old man'
Some viewers have said Mueller's shaky demeanor calls his report into question
Others think the 74-year-old veteran prosecutor sounds uncertain because he is being overly-cautious about coming off as impartial
Perplexed viewers are questioning Robert Mueller's 'confused' demeanor as he testifies in front of Congress.
The special counsel faced members of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees on Wednesday morning.
Viewers reacting on social media have noticed that Mueller appeared to stumble at multiple points.
'Robert Mueller comes across as a doddering old fool with a questionable moral compass based on situational ethics who should never have been appointed in the first place based on reduced mental capacity,' one person tweeted.
'Mueller is acting like he doesn't know what's going on,' another wrote. 'He's acting like a confused old man.'
Some are saying the wobbly performance is a delaying tactic on the part of the special counsel to frustrate Republican committee members determined to discredit findings that are damaging to President Donald Trump.
When it came to questions at the core of the report, Mueller delivered firm answers without hesitation.
Asked whether Trump had been exonerated or if he could be charged with obstruction of justice when he leaves office, Mueller replied: 'No' and 'Yes' respectively.

MR. MUELLER COMES ACROSS AS A DODDERING OLD GENTLEMAN AS OPPOSED TO A BRILLIANT ATTORNEY.
WUT in blue blazes????? The dailymail is NOT on board? Topsy Turvey time.
Mueller is right on the Democrat script he has been fed. Crooked bastard.
His body language is similar to that of a criminal convicted of capital crimes awaiting his sentence.
Not one smile for anyone he greeted. Eyes dark and hollow.
For all the good Mueller may have done in the past, his performance today will be what he will be remembered for.
It is a sad closing to what may have been a stellar career.
It is becoming more apparent the staff wrote the report with the hope Trump will be impeached. Mueller was only there so the Democrats could say “He’s a Republican” and there is no reason to doubt the report.
Nadler must be doing a face plant by now.
He isn't 'acting'...................
His public testimony appearing disoriented is the death rattle of this whole Russia investigation. Nobody wants to hear about this circus anymore. It makes all of DC look out of touch and out of control and not in the people’s best interest.
He can’t remember who appointed him, he said Bush and it was Reagan. LOL
I’m laying my money on anxiety disorder. Wavering voice, keeping sentences as short as possible, never wants to read. He’s getting waves of panic. This has seemed the case whenever he’s delivered speeches this year. Probably he’s gotten slower too, but this strikes me as a guy fighting to keep himself from losing control ... i.e. panic/anxiety disorder. ‘Dummying up’ aka playing dumb, lost, innocently absent minded ... but friendly and obsequious ... ... ... anxiety/panic, trying to hold it together. When in this state, you appear a little distracted because ... you are ... 75% of your mental resources trying to keep the ship (self) from shaking apart.
Somebody should ask Bobby deNiro if he’ll be on SNL imitating this version of Mueller?
Someone should have asked him about the missing strawberries. I kept waiting for the metal balls to come out of his pocket.
That spin from Joy Reid is a real hum-dinger.
Baghdad Bob would be proud.
He didn’t write the report and probably only has read it two or three times.
You don’t know too much about Mueller do you? He was always a political hack and would have let 3 innocent be executed even though he knew they were not guilty.
Joe Biden should be there to help him out.
BTW- Did anyone see the Ad from some so called Republican Group on Hannity last night? It showed Mulehead be praised by McConnell and some other Pubs.
It is some Never Trumper Group masquerading as Republicans.
Forget what they call themselves, but the usual suspects are running it.
Why no question about who investigated the server for Russian hack??
“...gentleman...”? No. He comes across as a frightened, senile, criminal loser who has shamed the legal bar, his family, the USMC and this country. What a traitorous piece of crapola. He is elderly and will die soon. So sad. What a piece of work.
“Someone should have asked him about the missing strawberries”
Good one.
