Just a process question... every questioner gets an alloted time to ask their questions. While the witness is answering, the timeclock stops right? (That way a witness can’t run out the clock by just babbling)
That might explain why Mueller is refusing to read the text, and insists that the questioner read it... that way the time clock gets used up reading something outloud instead of on other questions.
Just a thought.
No, I don’t think the clock stops while he answers, that’s why most republicans are trying to hurry him along because of their limited time. And why he turns into a doddering old fart who can’t remember a thing when republicans are asking the questions but for the most part, seems lucid when it’s democrats, and doesn’t try to run the clock out on them.
