He looks like Michael Scott from The Office.
And that pretty lady to the left of Rep Ratcliffe is distracting. Who wants to listen to Mueller when she is around.

On Wednesday morning, former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee about his 448-page report. It was released to the public in April after a two-year-long investigation.
Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe didn't waste any time with his brief, five minute questioning period and ripped Mueller for making up a standard of guilt only applicable to President Trump.
"Now your report, and today you said that, 'All times the Special Counsel team operated under, was guided by, and followed Justice Department policies and principles,' so which DOJ policy or principle sets forth a legal standard that an investigated person is not exonerated if their innocence from criminal conduct is not conclusively determined?" Ratcliffe said.
"Which DOJ policy or principle sets forth a legal standard that an investigated person is not exonerated if their innocence from criminal conduct is not conclusively determined? Where does that language come from, director? Where is the DOJ policy that says that? Let me make it easier, can you give me an example other than Donald Trump where the Justice Department determined that an investigated person was not exonerated because their innocence was not conclusively determined?" he continued.
"I cannot but this is a unique situation," Mueller responded.
Rep. John Ratcliffe Shreds Volume II Of Robert Mueller's Report
Mueller would have been wise to follow Hillary’s lead, and feign a fall, and a concussion. At least he’d have an excuse for such a crappy performance. I was hoping he’d crash and burn, but he’s far-exceeded my expectations.
[Lester Holt and Brian Williams ]
Two.....Obama cheerleaders.
I’m being nice. There are other terms that apply to them. I’m trying to maintain some sort of decorum here by not using those terms. Same for Nora O’Donnell, Jake Tapper.....(the list is too long).
yep
[Nunes just said in his opening statement in the ‘hearings’ “Welcome everyone, and welcome to the last gasps of the Russian collusion conspiracy theory”]
And that’s exactly what it is.
Bravo, Mr. Nunes.
According to Dems, Supreme Court nominees have the burden of proving their innocence (Clarence Thomas and Bret Kavanaugh), and so do POTUSes, if they’re Republicans. This incentivizes in the invention of scurrilous and false charges in both cases. Ratcliffe hit it right on the head.
“...because the bedrock principle of our justice system is a presumption of innocence.”
If only ‘Rats believed that!
I actually felt ILL this morning, thinking about what was lying ahead with this Dog & Pony show, today.
All I can hope for is that the ‘Rats take it in the shorts again as they once again show America WHO THEY ARE!
*SPIT*
This was a very very important point made today- it proved that mueller did EXACTLY what Comey did- ABUSE HIS POSITION- He disgraced his position- just as comey did!
I’m reading that even the left msm are beginning to call this hearing a disaster- very likely because of that one key point
I think the Rats are doing just that, my FRiend.
I couldn’t believe Chris Wallace actually said this is a disaster for Dems this morning.
Now that deserved a Boom. Finally lol.
Bump!
LOL! You just may be right. :^)
This double standard has been building for a long time, as long as the seriousness of the charges has only mattered for accused Republicans.

A presumption of innocence: another reason the left hates our Constitution.
This is what the Uk has done to Tommy Robinson.
Except it was worse. They accused him of “calling his supporters to act as vigilantes” when they had the video, in hand, showing this was explicitly not the case (he was talking about the media).
They also changed the reporting guidelines - adding new language not in the actual guidelines - just to find him guilty of these new unwritten guidelines.
...hoping the new PM changes course.

Guess the two of 'em knew they were above the law and that since the 'cool kids' hated Trump, Trump was beneath the law and could be roughed up easily...
Jeffery Epstein did a similar thing - preying on young girls from foster homes, single parent homes, girls who were poor. Elites - thugs - know they can kick a person when their down if they have a gang of thugs with them AND if the person they're kicking doesn't have power.
Epstein, Bill Clinton, James Comey and Robert Mueller - birds of a feather - effing bastard 'elites'...
At the end Schiff said there are two more ppl to ask questions
Nunes and me
Then Schiff talked, no Nunes
What’s up with that?
The bedrock of our legal system ensures that even “special situations” are governed by the recognition of a presumption of innocence.
