Robert Mueller seems a little shakey in his responses during this testimony. As if some of the early signs of senility are manifesting. Perhaps it's just nerves, and the result of answering an ongoing series of aggressive questions, but I don't think so.

Or just the fact that he constantly needs to restrain himself due to being limited to the public report and not being allowed to mention all the censored stuff out of it.

I suppose so. The questions are quite rapid fire as well, and the report is an extensive document. Recall and response in under such conditions would be difficult for most. Still think his age is showing to some degree however.

Omg yes! How insensitive of me, I didn't even think about the oranges in this country, you're absolutely right.

Mueller testimony seems like a waste of time since he is restricted to what's in the report. Everything he answers is already known.

Yeah, but when Trump and his goons have been lying about it since before it was even released, I'd say its a good thing to hear straight from Mueller that Trump is bullshitting even if those who have actually been paying attention aren't learning anything new.

I think you mean impeachment would never have come up because Trump would have obviously acted 'like all good Democrats' and the msm would have basically swept anything pointing to wrongdoing under the rug, leading to the followers supporting the Prez, right? I'm not going to make up things to smear either party to push an agenda, but you're free to do as you please, just don't be shocked if it hinders instead of helps.

It's a little fuzzy and hard to make out, but looks like you're right, those conservatives at Fox here are just contradicting themselves while fueling the fire...

So let me get this straight. You have your 3 pillars of democracy. Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. For a democracy to be a democracy these 3 entities have to be entirely separate. From Mueller's hearing and all events during Trump's presidency it feels very much like the Judiciary is influenced directly by the executive. It is openly discouraged to act against the executive. Then we have the limited but still very effective legislative powers of the executive. Then we also have the massive corruption in all 3 branches.

So how are is it possible that the USA calls itself a democracy? It fails even the most basic principles.

Reps - Can you tell us anything of importance that fills in the gaps as to why much of this doesn't make any sense?
Mueller - I would refer you to the report itself.
Reps - It's not in there.
Mueller - Well then it's outside my purview.
Reps - We rest our case.
Mueller - I'm not going to go beyond that.

Intimidated witnesses are a sad thing.
