Reactions to Rip Van Mueller's Selectively-Amnesiac "Testimony"

And, as a friend keeps saying: the Democrats and Mueller rehearsed this performance in practice sessions.

Imagine what this would have been like without the practice.

"GTFO." Perfect.

How can anyone credibly say they investigated something without looking at any of the origins of the entire thing... it’s dumbfounding.

2 years and almost $50,000,000 & and he doesn’t have a clue to how it started? GTFO https://t.co/Ky1RjHqVaR

Serious question: Has Mueller even heard of Mueller?
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 24, 2019

True:

Entire premise of today's hearings was that the movie would be better than the book. No one anticipated what was to happen, that Mueller would show himself to be doddering and not in command, raising huge questions about who actually ran the investigation and to what ends.
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) July 24, 2019

The long-simmering suspicion that it was Weissman and the 19 Angry Democrats who were actually in charge here -- with Mueller providing cover as a front man, just as Christopher Steele provided cover as a front man for conspiracy theories first adduced by Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer -- gained a lot of credibility today.

What is that Barr said of that snitty letter that "Mueller" sent to him? "It seemed staffer-driven," or something like that.

This is the Weissman Report. Let's call things by their proper names.

Armstrong: Did you know Andrew Weissmann praised Sally Yates for directly disobeying a presidential order?
Mueller: Not going to talk about it.
Armstrong: Did you know Jeanie Rhee worked for the Clinton Foundation?
Mueller: Not going to talk about it.

No single individual has done more to corroborate Trump's charges of a Democrat-led witch hunt than Mueller, who showed today he had no day-to-day oversight of his own investigation, no knowledge of his employees' backgrounds, and no understanding of basic claims in his report.

Mueller declines to comment on a public letter to Barr that he himself signed. There is no regulation or precedent which would prevent him from testifying about that letter. He's purposely withholding relevant information from Congress
— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) July 24, 2019

Collins confronts Robert Mueller with the fact that his testimony about collusion and conspiracy not being the same thing directly contradicts what he wrote in the report. Republicans have caught Mueller testifying to something other than what he wrote in the report. Looks v. bad

Mueller was specifically asked if anyone on his team or working with his team leaked to CNN details of the FBI raid on Roger Stone's home.

He refused to answer. "I'm not going to speak to that."

But he did deny leaking his letter to Barr to the media.

Sure is telling.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) July 24, 2019

Lesko: You seemed to rely on the media a lot in your investigation. How many times did you cite the Washington Post as evidence?
Mueller: I don't know.
Lesko: How many times did you cite New York Times?
Mueller: I have no idea.
Lesko: A bunch of your report is just press clips.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) July 24, 2019

Alternate answer: A long time before midterms. https://t.co/5nHsB0N7UD

All the journos who were bleating “Barr mischaracterized the report!” a few months ago are are suspiciously quiet now that it’s clear Mueller couldn’t even *characterize* the report

Because he wasn’t really running the investigation

This is exactly what you need to understand about the Mueller report. Listen to my friend @RepRatcliffe decimate the narrative of guilt surrounding the President.
