I love it, we now have video of Mueller destroying the no collusion no obstruction mantra and Jim thinks it's a rout. I'll be they're already working on the campaign commercials.

you guys are right, i don’t know how i missed it. let the impeachment begin. of course ABC news political correspondent Terry Moran says any hope of impeachment is over, but he’s just a trumplican.

and Mueller flat-out denied, that the rule
about not indicting a sitting president, played a role in his deciding not to
indict.
The Narrative checked
itself into rehab.

Look, all you needed was uniforms to figure which party had the microphone and was on the clock.... Mueller was a dud, or ill.
Dems have to be disappointed.... despite calls from most of the announced 2020 candidates to proceed with impeachment proceedings.
Expecting a slam dunk, they got a face plant..
Trump treated the media to a victory lap... Gave them much more time and sound bites than they expected. See what they do with it. I didn't hear much there for them... And, said the guy who voted against HRC, he (Trump)still makes me sick.
So sick of the divisiveness....

I said earlier that anything but impeachment hearings from this, was a win for trump. Got accused of being the usual trumplican because I didn’t go to the light.

mueller said very explicitly, that the rule against indicting a sitting president played no role in his decision not to
indict. pretty sure that means he decided not to indict because there wasn’t enough evidence. if that’s the case, this is over.

Collins: At any time in the investigation was your investigation curtailed or stopped or hindered?
Mueller: No.
earlier.....
Mueller continued:
"Second, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities. We did not address 'collusion,' which is not a legal term. Rather, we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge any member of the campaign with taking part in a criminal conspiracy. It was not.

in the morning. apparently you turned it off a tad early. in the afternoon, he clarified it, and said he was not influenced by pressure to not indict
a sitting potus.
i’m smoking nothing. you’re
smoking obama’s penis as usual.
here you go, Columbo. You’re having a rough go of it, huh?

Pointless to debate the GOP, for as many great moments and video snippets they can post, we could post as many and more. They will claim it a win, while I see it as proof that while they may not have found evidence of a cordinated effort with the Russians, they welcomed the help to elect their candidate. That doesn’t upset the GOP for some reason, or the multiple instances of obstruction, but spin it just like all the angry GOP I watched question mueller; I’m not buying it.

post whatever you want. Mueller said outside influences didn’t pressured him not to indict. Please tell me how you could possibly spin that, in a way that isn’t a slam dunk for the gop.

QUIGLEY: Would it be fair to describe [Wikileaks] as ... a hostile intelligence service?
MUELLER: Yes.
QUIGLEY: If we could put up slide six. “This just came out. WikiLeaks. I love WikiLeaks.'' Donald Trump, Oct. 10, 2016. “This Wikileaks stuff is unbelievable. It tells you the inner heart. You've got to read it.” Donald Trump, Oct. 12, 2016. “This Wikileaks is like a treasure trove.” Donald Trump, October 21, 2016. “Boy, I love reading those WikiLeaks.” Donald Trump, Nov. 4, 2016. Would any of those quotes disturb you, Mr. Director?
...
MUELLER: Well, it's probably—problematic is an understatement in terms of what it displays in terms of giving some, I don't know, hope or some boost to what is and should be illegal activity.

SCHIFF: From your testimony today I'd gather that you believe that knowingly accepting foreign assistance during a presidential campaign is an unethical thing to do.
...
MUELLER: And a crime, given certain circumstances.
SCHIFF: To the degree that it undermines our democracy and our institutions, we can also agree that it's also unpatriotic.
MUELLER: True
SCHIFF: And wrong.
MUELLER: True.

One notable feature of the day was that the Republicans essentially accepted the assertions of the Mueller report as factual. By and large, they did not seek to contest the facts Mueller reported, but rather attacked alleged bias and the legal significance of the facts in the document. One of the functions of the report was to establish a common set of facts, and today’s hearing—in its own peculiar way—suggests that it has done that, at least to a point. The Republican members’ questions did not seem to doubt that McGahn was telling the truth and that Trump was lying. They accepted that Trump had asked Corey Lewandowski to get Sessions to unrecuse. While they fought on other matters, they didn’t contest the factual ground that Mueller has staked out.
