The most important thing Robert Mueller revealed today in his testimony before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees was that he didn’t really know that much about the work of the investigation that bears his name -- and that he is prone to senior moments with alarming frequency. That he could in no way have been the actual leader of a large team of high-powered lawyers is now obvious to everyone in cringe-worthy detail (snip) He was a BINO, a Boss In Name Only, or, colloquially, a front-man.

Mueller don't watch tv, read the NYTs, WaPo, or have an internet connection? Sorry, but I am just not buying that Mueller did not know what his investigators were doing. We have been following what they have been doing for over 2 years, so unless Mueller was in solitary confinement, I think he knew darn well what they were doing.

Time to have all the manipulators and conspirators arrested, tried, convicted and fitted with orange jumpsuits. In other times and places, they would have been publicly hanged, a good thing. Such evil should not be allowed to go unpunished!

Mueller's testimony gave the appearance of a doddering, confused old man.

Front Man ???
Let me lapse into my slightly broken Spanish here.
Front Man is English for Gringo Pinata ?

I could only watch until ten a.m., but I saw Democrats suggesting Trump obstructed justice by mentioning instances when the President said something to someone about Muller being replaced. All the Dems obviously were scripted, with Muller only needing to give the one word answer "yes", but when the Special Counsel was questioned by Republicans, Mueller responded so poorly that rather than thinking of obstruction by the President, the first thing that came to mind was - incompetence by the Special Counsel.
It is what it is.

I often wondered why, during and after the investigation was over, we never heard him speak. No one in the media would ask him a question about it. Now I see why. He (knowingly) gave the investigation a thin veneer of respectability. If the country knew the team was loaded to the gills with Trump-hating Clinton-supporting lawyers, the wheels on this farce would've fallen off long ago.

And we were told that he spent the last week or so rehearsing and fielding possible questions from his team. All those rehearsals by Mueller and the demonrats and their opening night bombed.
More winning!

As I've suggested elsewhere in comments, this confusion seems more a ruse. If necessary, the Dems can demand a do-over.
He lied about Fusion GPS. He lied when he said he didn't do hearing-prep with the Dems --I say this supposing, because he could only answer Dems, he was only familiar with details favoring Dems, and couldn't remember anything that undermined the Investigation and the Dems.
This is an utter travesty.

I think, now, the anti-Trumpers in the know (that Mueller has dementia) were secretly hoping, perhaps promoting, that Trump would fire Mueller. That would be a "two-fer"... 1. get rid of the incompetent chief investigator and 2. an impeachable offense by the President. That's why there was so much talk about Trump going to fire Mueller when Trump always said he would cooperate with the investigation.

It appeared to be nothing more than Kabuki theatre. Muller recognizes the criminality of the investigation and wants to distance himself from responsibility and even awareness. His target is likely Weismann. Hopefully, his fellow conspirators will not let him off of the hook.

It's hard to defend a bias report when you are on top of your game and impossible when you stick around past your shelf life. Sad way to end public life but ostensibly he is a man of no integrity or he wouldn't have got himself in this position.

Mueller knows his own involvement in collusion against a duly elected President, and how close he is and many others are to total exposure. His thoughts are completely on keeping himself out of prison. His long term record shows he's not real bright, and I'm thinking his act yesterday was most of all to prove he's a harmless old man whom no one should want locked up. That's become more important to him than continuing the brilliant, impartial role the liberal media created to protect him decades ago.

It's good to know Father Mueller didn't miss many re-runs of Matlock over the last 2 years.

It was indeed painful, if satisfying, to watch Robert Mueller yesterday (and on the $ to hear Hannity and Lindsay Graham say last night that the only person trying to spare the man was the AG, Bill Barr, who knew of his condition and offered him an out) BUT when the man WAS cogent he destroyed Arthur Anderson, later overturned, and lost thousands their jobs, put two Merrill Lynch principals in prison for a year, until THAT was overturned, put four men in prison in Chicago, two of whom died there, before THAT was overturned, and threatened Gen. Flynn with his son's destruction so that he would speak out against Trump, true or not. He ruined any number of people financially and for life, staged a CNN photographed raid at 5 a.m. on Roger Stone, etc........even if it turns out that Weissman and company are behind a lot of this, Mueller allowed his name to be used and didn't oppose. He may have been a hero in Vietnam, etc. but he has been unlawful and destructive in his role as prosecutor ever since, even when totally in control mentally. My "pity" comes with a huge asterisk.

Senility does not happen all of a sudden, it develops over a period of years. They were probably paying this doddering old fool over a decade or more for nothing and chose him for the collusion case knowing that he would drag it out until the next election. He was there for a reason. No wonder the FBI turned sour and corrupt.

I believe the reason Rosenstein (and his handlers) hired Mueller was because they knew they could use him. They knew he wasn't capable of managing the team, and they could do whatever they wanted. The democrats and deep state took advantage of the man, who in his mental state might believe whatever he was told- whether it be about President Trump, or the illegal, unethical things the team and their co-conspirators were doing. It became obvious that Mueller wasn't running the show.

Mueller is DIRTY. He uses the term ' does not exonerate' in a way that implies Trump may be a criminal. there is NO SUCH TERM in the American justice system. EXONERATE means a person who has been found guilty of a crime has the sentence REVERSED. That is all it means and Mueller knows it. He should be suspended and disbarred for his implying trump is a criminal, in an illegal manner.

I'm not buying the dementia routine at all. In a way, I think calling Mueller an "old man" is insulting to older men. Age does not necessarily have anything to do with how this tool of the Democrat Party functioned on the special investigatory team -- nothing at all.
How in hell can someone spend millions of taxpayers' dollars and put American citizens in prison but not know basic information about the investigation he has been charged with leading? This was planned negligence! Hillary's minions wanted to have free reign to trump up charges against Mr. Trump and his family and his associates. Mueller was cover.
Watergate was bad? Nixon's cronies were novices in corruption compared to the likes of Obama, Hillary, Pelosi, and all their commie-pinko pals. Remember: Obama is CHICAGO writ large.

He obviously lied before Congress yesterday but it doesn't matter because he was lying for Democrats and they are in charge, so, no problem. The beat goes on.

Mueller seemed to be in advanced stages of senility in his appearances before Congressional committees yesterday. I wonder if it was an act to establish a senility defense as an excuse for the outrageous activity of his commission. His pack of rabid Trump haters used the unlimited resources of the US government to intimidate and financially destroy those they were trying to force to give damning evidence. The very public raids of homes and offices by heavily armed men who trashed the premises of people offering no resistance was something one would expect in a Fascist state, not the United States.
Was Mueller responsible for the bad behavior of his commission. You bet he is!

Robert Mueller is 74 years old!! Serial senior moments? It was all an act, and well played. He´s not ready for the assisted living community, not by a long shot. He should be awarded an Oscar for Best Performance in a Congressional hearing.

Bob Mueller was the perfect Jimmy Dugan character (Tom Hanks) in "A league of Their Own" movie. Just tip your hat to crowd and stay out of the way.
Remember there is no crying in baseball or Congressional Testimony...libs

That was no act. He destroyed his reputation and his "legacy," left the stage as a doddering old fool and everybody knows it. What career DC swamp creature would do that intentionally?
