I agree. Grasping at straws. This isn't good for the Dems and I bet most of them are facepalming right now hoping it ends quickly.
Oh please....:lamo
He won't be. JMO.
He can be, and we already suspected it (but now Mueller confirmed it). But it won't happen.
People who complained about the Clintons being above the law more than likely won't complain about Trump being above the law.
I'm not sure if that is the smart move because Trump and his cultists will spin it into some grand conspiracy theory. I think the Dems just need to get someone moderate up there, who is well spoken, and they just need to highlight the continued list of Trumps....trumpisms.
The Mueller thing is getting played out and tired. Trump is the OJ President. We all know he did it, but we can't quite nail him in a court of law. So might as well move on, he'll do something else in the future.
Rep. Lieu: "The reason again that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of the OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting President, correct?"
Mueller: "That is correct."
I agree with you. I don't think any POTUS, ever will ever go to jail. Just don't see it happening.
Trump is ****ed. This testimony will be brought in front of a federal judge. The judge will have abundant reasons to conclude that Congressional investigations into obstruction of justice should move forward. Subsequently, Congress will have the authority granted to them by a federal judge, to compel witnesses to appear and give testimony without having the authority to claim executive privilege.
Oh goodness no. No side wants to open up the Accountability can of worms. They've all done stuff that could get them in trouble, and if they start up that....they're all toast.
They just want the headlines and the talking points so they can point fingers and pretend to be different.

This entire testimony makes both Trump and Barr look bad. Trump's base won't care. The left already hates him. It's all about the middle.
As a hypothetical - would you have charged if he wasn't a sitting president? We already know that people who are sitting presidents can be charged.Could.
Mueller couldn't possibly answer "would".
The entertainment and fireworks over Mueller's testimony is here, on DP. Of course, we're more expertise and intelligent than those on capitol hill.
Guess we'll need a clearer and more complete mandate from Bill Barr investigating interference in the 2016 election...
It is all about the middle, but I'm not sure this is something that will swing one any more than already. Perhaps, if for some reason there have been folk not paying attention to any of this before who are now suddenly paying attention. I think the Dems already will have an easier time with the middle this next go around since we've now seen Trump. I think he turned off a lot of the middle quickly. So something as contentious and unproductive as the Mueller thing I don't think will sway them much more. It will be more about the candidate they choose and how they present the whole of the Trump presidency and his unending series of buffoonish blunders.
I love how a former Jag officer, just told a decorated war veteran his actions while doing his job was un-American.
Law and order party my ass.

I also am wondering if he knew the democrat questions in advance. He seemed more prepared for those, yet was flat footed when asked questions by Republicans.
He democrat legal team headed by Weissman would have done his briefing.
Mueller isn't the least bit intimidated. Nor should he be. He's there to answer the questions that are asked of him, and so far, that's what he's done.
I completely agree. And I suspect most people in the middle already think Trump is a disaster, which explains his terrible polls in this "terrific" economy. He can't get the middle on board. And i think this hearing will make it a little bit harder.
The Dems need talking points, and Mueller has basically handed them to them. But the Dems have a history of idiocy (look at their 2016 candidate) so who knows if they will smartly capitalize on Mueller's words. Time will tell.
The Dems wrote a script and developed a singular agreed to strategy. Not a good plan when the train has left the tracks.
Or, in Trump's case, you regard integrity as a sign of weakness to be exploited.
