Republican lawmakers allege Special Counsel Robert Mueller may have perjured himself before Congress in his sworn testimony last month, when he gave what they say were incomplete answers regarding why he held an earlier press briefing. Recently released court documents suggest Mueller may have made his surprise appearance before the press in Washington on May 29 as damage control after a federal judge privately threatened to hold his team in criminal contempt of court over what she called misleading language in his final report about Russian government interference in the 2016 election. Under oath, Mueller denied the judge’s action had...

Staff for former special counsel Robert Mueller issued a warning to Democrats eager to have him testify about his investigation into Russian election interference. Days after Mueller delivered shaky testimony to two congressional panels, a report said Mueller's team denied rumors that the 74-year-old's cognitive acuity was wavering and that prompted Democrats to compel him to appear publicly. However, before and after a reluctant Mueller was subpoenaed, Mueller's staff told the Democrats, some of whom have cited Mueller's report as a blueprint for impeachment, that their boss would not stray from what was already disclosed in his unredacted 448-page report.

VIDEO Donny Deutsch, seeing that the chances for Trump impeachment has gone down the tubes due to the testimony FAIL by Robert Mueller, who has gone from saint to schmo in liberal eyes, has gone full apocalyptic over the possibility of Trump's re-election. He suggested that the Democrats must fight DIRTY (as if they haven't done that before). As you will see, Donny is every bit as angry as Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough over facing a future in which Trump has been re-elected.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace called Robert Mueller’s hearing Wednesday “a disaster for the Democrats and a disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller.” Former special counsel Mueller appeared in front of the House Judiciary Committee on July 24 to testify on his finalized report and the Trump administration’s alleged collusion with Russia. Throughout his testimony, many pundits pointed to the 74-year-old’s lack of ability to answer questions concisely or even accurately.

The much-touted testimony of Special Counsel Robert Mueller before the House judiciary and intelligence committees last week yielded little beyond what was already in the “confidential” report Mueller submitted to the attorney general (and that has largely been made public). But there was one dramatic revelation from the testimony that should give every American pause, because it reveals not only a complete dereliction of duty on the part of the special counsel and his team of crack prosecutors, but also one of the greatest political scandals in American history. When asked about meetings between Glenn Simpson, the co-founder and president...

When Robert Mueller testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees last week, the biggest take-away was that the former special counsel did not know the name Fusion GPS—the firm the Clinton campaign hired to produce the Steele dossier. The breadth of Mueller’s ignorance, hedging, and silence in response to questions posed to him, however, was truly expansive. While much of the criticism leveled at Mueller following his testimony focused on his ignorance of key facts and his confusion over the details contained in the special counsel’s report, the following seven lines of inquiry show Mueller knew exactly what he...

Charlie Daniels I will say at the outset that I have never believed the accusations of Russian collusion the Democrats have been trying to prove on President Trump for the last three years, and I had no expectations that Robert Mueller’s testimony before congressional committees would do anything to change my mind in the least. But I was, however, expecting a vigorous, well put together rehash of the information contained in the report that bears his name, an ordered and well-prepared presentation that would leave enough loose threads for the Democrats, who were foaming at the mouth in apprehension...

Judicial Watch Demands House Ethics Investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar; Robert Mueller’s Latest Attempt to Smear President Trump; Leftists in the State Department Sabotage Trump’s Guatemala Asylum Deal.

In 1969, psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross wrote that there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Fifty years later, anti-Trump journalists have been experiencing the first four simultaneously since Wednesday, when former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified before two House committees. The Trump-hating media can’t come to terms with the final stage – acceptance of their grief. And that will elude them even if President Trump is reelected and stays in the White House until 2025. Journalists wrote and broadcast countless stories saying Hillary Clinton would defeat Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Many have never been...

Anyone who watched more than a few minutes of Wednesday’s painful hearings with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller discovered a sad truth the Democrats and many in the media continue to hide: Mueller neither wrote his report nor did he master the content of it. Repeatedly during the day, the former FBI director stumbled over what we had been told were his findings. He slowly leafed through a binder, searching for passages that lawmakers were quoting to him, only to say “okay” or “true” when he finally found them. In the morning’s hearing at the House Judiciary committee, Rep. Doug...

They told us Robert Mueller was Captain America: Crusader for Truth, and instead we got George Costanza and all the inept deception, sweaty stalling, and blundering dishonesty that comes with him. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s bumbling, stumbling, grumbling, tumbling, crumbling testimony Wednesday before the U.S House of Representatives was not only karma on steroids, it once again proved just how brilliant the American Constitution is. You see, the sublime spectacle of watching Robert Mueller’s reputation go up in flames, flames ignited by his own corrupt report and fueled by three years of the establishment media’s hoax machinery, would not have...

I will begin will something democrats have been lying about continuously. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1154032234518548481That sounds a lot like exoneration. Now on to this statement from Mueller at his press conference “The introduction to the volume two of our report explains that decision. It explains that under long-standing department policy a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional. Even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view, that too is prohibited. The special counsel’s office is part of the Department of Justice and by regulation it was bound by that...

RUSH: Hey, hey, folks, there’s another way to look at this debacle yesterday, and it’s this — and let’s keep everything in context. We’re now being told today from Politico and everybody that everybody’s known for a long time that Mueller’s not all there anymore, that he’s feeble, faded away, not mentally able to do what he used to be able to do. It happens to everybody. Not a criticism. My point is, “everybody’s known it.” That’s what they say. That’s what the Drive-Bys say, “Everybody’s known it!” Okay. So why was he there? The answer’s very simple. The Democrats...

RUSH: So now the Drive-By Media is saying the Democrat Party is fractured over impeachment after the Mueller testimony. Folks, they’ve been fractured over impeachment for a long time. Pelosi has never wanted to impeach. The Squad and Nadler and Pencil Neck have. The Democrats haven’t been united on this in a long time. The Mueller testimony yesterday, there are a lot of questions I want to ask based on some media things that I’ve seen. For example, CNN was asking all night and all day today if Mueller was the man for the job. Was Robert J. Mueller the...

The media has been apoplectic in selling outrage over the U.S. Department of Justice sending a letter to Robert Mueller with guidelines for his testimony. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler appeared on morning TV shows today to decry the hubris of the letter calling it “incredibly arrogant” of Bill Barr to send such instructions. However, in the background, for those who watch these manufactured events, you can see that everything around this “letter” was staged. Everything around this letter was intentionally designed by the Lawfare group; which includes Jerry Nadler’s staff. Yes, it is revealed today…. the Lawfare staff...

The schemes of Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler are predictable. As we said three months ago, Robert Mueller would not be allowed to testify without a handler. Small group participant Aaron Zebly will now join Mueller for his testimony. This has always been the plan, but strategically announced today. Remember, Mueller’s team is working closely with Nadler’s team; they are part of the same purpose. They are all part of the same network. The impeachment objective is a group effort from inside government & outside (Lawfare). These are not separate groups. The pre-planning was why Chairman Nadler hired...

**SNIP** Mueller devotes three paragraphs of his report to a particularly fraught moment in the middle of 2016 involving Seth Rich, a 27-year-old DNC staffer who was murdered in July of that year, and the website WikiLeaks. That summer, news outlets had reported that Russian agents hacked into Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and stole a massive trove of emails and other documents. Not long after, WikiLeaks published thousands of those emails, plunging the Democratic Party into chaos and leading to the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL). As the reports emerged about...

House Democrats’ official campaign arm spread misinformation in a fundraising blast about former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony Wednesday. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) falsely claimed that Mueller testified that he would charge President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice if he weren’t president. During his morning testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Mueller appeared to agree with Democratic California Rep. Ted Lieu, who asserted that Mueller’s office didn’t charge Trump with obstruction because of Department of Justice policies against indicting sitting presidents. But Mueller corrected the record when he began his afternoon testimony in front of the House...

At the risk of beating a dead horse -- having made versions of this point in consecutive posts yesterday -- I feel compelled to share this video from the Mueller hearings.  As scintillating as the proceedings were, I did step away from watching for relatively short passages of time, and evidently missed this genuinely jaw-dropping exchange.  When I first saw the tweet below, I wondered if it could truly be an accurate representation of what occurred in the former Special Counsel's back-and-forth with a Republican Congressman.  Watch the video, and see for yourself: Here's the video where Mueller is confused...

No, Mr. Democrat Congressional talking head, we cannot 'trust' the contents of the so-called Mueller Report. It's painfully obvious that Mueller did not conduct the 'investigation,' did not supervise it and didn't even participate in it. The whole thing is a sham produced by his partisan staff. Every member of his staff are, just coincidentally, also members of the Hillary For President support team. Mueller doesn't even know what's in the report yet his every answer (when he answered) was, basically, if it's in the report, it's incontrovertible truth and therefor we must accept it. Really? We cannot question a...
