ROBERT SWAN MUELLER III
I couldn't take my eyes off his bulbous, W.C. Fields nose, complete with veins the color of this font, so during his halting, muddled testimony, I couldn't help but wonder whether he has a rather long history with alcohol?

Robert Mueller kicked off his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee Wednesday afternoon by issuing a clarification of something he said during a morning hearing about his decision-making process when it came to the question of whether President Trump committed obstruction of justice.
Mueller raised eyebrows during an exchange with House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif.
“The reason that you did not indict the president is because of the OLC opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?” Lieu asked, referring to the Office of Legal Counsel’s long-held position against charging a president while they are in office.
“Correct,” Mueller replied.
That gave the impression that if it were not for the OLC opinion, Mueller would have indicted the president. In the afternoon, Mueller was quick to say that is not what he was trying to say at all.
“I want to add one correction to my testimony this morning," Mueller said. "I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu, who said and I quote, ‘You didn’t charge the President because of the OLC opinion. That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the President committed a crime.”

Dems were in full pity party circus mood just a few minutes ago on MSNBC... Nothing more than a bunch of overpaid elites pretending to care about 'the people'... Gimme a break. The only 'people' they care about are illegals, children of illegals, and their elite friends and swamp dwellers in Washington. If they really cared about foreign involvement in our elections they would look at the things Hillary did..
Somebody from the republican side should have put a bucket of KFC in front of Cohen's spot.
Nadler pi$$es me off but Schiff..waaaay beyond a simple pi$$er.
An absolute straight faced liar of the first order.
Listening to his statement , and I’ll bet there won’t be any ‘fact checks’.
Weissman was laughing his ass off all day I’m sure...
Yes. ;)
Which congressman was that? Democrat?
Because he is a feeble confused old guy like many of us older freepers.
Mueller definitely has a handler.
No fool like an old fool
It was a Democrat. I can’t remember his name, but it was when Mueller couldn’t remember the word conspiracy.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but memory tells me that Ken Starr listed eleven or twelve specific Charges against sitting POTUS Bill Clinton in his Report to Congress.
If so, this makes Chauncy Mulehead a Liar.
Axelrod is one those political operatives who knows the dangers of believing your own lies. But the Democrat Party is too far gone. They are full-on crazy blind with Trump hate.
Politics aside, it truly is.
Yes. Conspiracy is a tough word for a prosecutor to remember. He should have put it in a post it.
Me either. He deserves every bit of condemnation that he gets.
Time for a mass killing.
“....given the right motivation....”
Right now, it would take much. Let em bring it with everything they got and let’s get this over with..once and for all. Sane people have had their bellyful with their moronic insanity.
In the same vein as your sentiment, I still love hearing the words “President Donald Trump”!!!!!
I almost felt sorry for that old man, Mueller.
