THANK YOU! That proves it was nothing but a shameful performance. If he’d had a stroke or other serious medical situation during the past 11 months, it would have been headlines.
What a disgrace he’s been to the country.
You’re welcome. It’s not definitive proof that yesterday’s performance was entirely calculated theater, though. Cognitive deficits can occur for an array of reasons, and some can be rapid onset. So this year old video is instructive, but not really proof of anything.
It’s also important to recognize that cognitive issues can be episodic and situational—not always a permanent, progressive condition. It’s entirely possible that he does have some deficits brought on by the enormous stress of knowing the walls are closing in on the whole scam, the attendant sleep deprivation, etc. Add in tranquilizers and sleep meds which a dirty cop facing the witness stand might need, for example.
IMHO, Mueller’s testimony was a combination of factors: Strategic amplification of existing, temporary deficits.of
