It's hard to understand what congressional Democrats hope to achieve by summoning a reluctant Robert Mueller to appear before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on Wednesday. The former special counsel's exhaustive 448-page report has been done for nearly four months. It's been public for three, with the country having plenty of time to absorb its comically anti-climactic conclusion that, although the 2016 Trump campaign did a lot of shady, underhanded things, none of them technically amounted to criminal conspiracy (collusion) with the Russian government, and that, although there was substantial evidence of obstruction of justice on the part of President Trump himself,

This article has it wrong if I am understanding the Mueller report correctly. The report made no statement one way or the other whether the evidence was enough to support an indictment on obstruction. True, a sitting President cannot be indicted, but the report doesn't say that the evidence amounts to probable cause to indict. This is in contrast to the Starr report on Clinton, where the case for obstruction was made, even without an indictment. Here, no case was made. The report recounted various things that might be obstruction but left it up to the DOJ to decide. Barr said, no obstruction.

If the dems had realized how Mueller would be perceived today, they would have called the whole thing off!
He reminded me of a dear friend of mine who had a stroke and recovered. He is still bright and he can still reason, but he processes information more slowly. He is thrown off by two people talking at the same time, or by someone interrupting his train of thought, or by people talking too fast.
It was obvious to me that Mueller was a figurehead, who did not truly lead the work. He provided the team with his gravitas, but handed the leadership over to others.

Damon sure read a lot of things into the report, or at least stated them in his biased article. It's not hard to figure out where he stands, just another partisan hack!

It seems abundantly evident that Mueller was a figurehead and his only role was to promote an appearance of bipartisanship. One uninvolved "republican" at the helm of a team of Hillary / DNC comandos. And they still found nothing.
But in reality there was NO bipartisanship. The only distinctions that matter are Swamp v.s. Not Swamp, Save the Republic from the expansion of government or part of the government leviathan. Republican v.s, democrat is a meaningless distinction and distraction.

The hearing should have ended when Mueller said that there was no attempt to interfere with or stop the investigation.

The dim lighted Democraps were warned this would happen, but oh know they had to bring in the light bringer's saber. The Democraps rallied to another opportunity to display their stupidity.
Ultimately those in the Democrap party will have to be indited and hauled off to prison. The rest of the rats need to just stop talking about all this nothing burger.

The article is a series of lies, itself.
They falsely claim "the 2016 Trump campaign did a lot of shady, underhanded things,, a bald faced lie.
Next they say their next huge whopper of a lie, "although there was substantial evidence of obstruction of justice on the part of President Trump himself,".
At that point, I stopped reading, since I don't need to waste time on more leftist lies.
A worthless commentary, so permeated with lies that is it pointless.

My comments
OJ Simpson prosecution attorney Darden made the statement that only people in this trial trying to find the truth was the Federal Prosecution, the other party is seeking the outlier facts that can cloud the truth.,was Mueller seeking the truth or a yes but.. he found the truth It did not like what he found and left the question open
So once the collusion was proved false why did he go forward.. was it to create a cloud of obstruction?
An innocent person would do what they could to conclude an honest finding.
Mueller failed the test
Looking back at Scooter Libby, prosecution knew Mr Libby did not leak VP name, they knew the truth that Armitage leaked the name, Fitzgerald knew it Comey probably knew it, Mueller probably
knew it, Gen Powell knew Libby knew he did not, Cheney knew he did not., so what DOJ wanted the first illegitimate President Bush 43 impeached..
It should ended there!
SoDOJ does not seek truth, for if it did the dossier, the Smokey Daniels blackmail and extortion of Mr Trump who years prior may have had a consensual relationship would have pursued the felony of blackmail and extortion as Cohen should have as well!
This is a phony shards of the Black Swan Mueller

What a biased and inaccurate article!
"Shady and underhanded"? No Executive Branch team has had their privileged, confidential conversations aired in public like this. I bet other administrations were worse. (Think of LBJ).
"substantial evidence of obstruction of justice". Ha! Tweeting.
"none of it is actionable because sitting presidents can't be indicted". Uh no. Mueller fixed that misstep.
His biggest failure is quoting Comey. Damon is really sad, today.

The day was ruined for millions of people since the MSM ran the Mueller BS instead of soap operas. I think the soap operas are more believable.
