There is only a portion of the population calling anything related to this a hoax. People don’t get indicted for hoaxes. People don’t go to jail for hoaxes. Both of those happened as a result of the Mueller investigation.

So, I’m not sure where anyone thinks this “hoax” talking point has any weight.

How about this?

"Mr. Mueller, did you believe that the dossier was reliable? If so, based on what?

Good thread.

Stop!

Mueller Time

My my my my report… reads…so hard
Makes cons say I’m a fraud…
But reality is… they can’t trust
Anyone saying Trumps a bust

Then there’s this:

"Mr. Mueller, was the FISA request based on verifiable information? If so how was it verified?"

What Shifty and Nadler forgot is that the republicans are going to tear Mueller apart.

@wonderingrover

I would ask him which course of investigation might be the most productive course for Congress to take.

Good question to ask. I bet Schiff asks that.

Do you think that this would be a good question?

"Mr. Mueller, was the FISA request based on verifiable information? If so how was it verified?"

or

@Jezcoe

Then the person who asks it has shown themselves to have not read the report.

Wrong. And I can prove it. Your gracious host has read the report. And he is asking the same question.

I think that our gracious host has motivations about all of that.

Just like everyone else. Mueller is going to be cross examined by republicans. And there will be no softballs.

You do know that Mueller has nothing to do with the FISA warrant on Carter Page… right?

[Munimula1]

Why did the campaign have so many contacts with Russians, and why did they lie about them?

Are you giving me a test? I don’t take tests.

Mueller is going to be cross examined by republicans. And there will be no softballs. Shifty and Nads may be surprised to see hear what is revealed. Operation backfire.

Do you like this question better?

The fun part is watching the poll rise for impeachment

[AZslim]

“If it wasn’t for the DOJ regulations, would you have opened a case against Trump for obstruction?”

The fun part is watching the dems do nothing but bluff about impeachment. You’re being scammed.

[Plasmaball]

Uh huh…that’s dumb

[altair1013]

@Munimula1

Why did your campaign have so many contacts with Russians, and why did they lie about them?

I think you misunderstood. The questions are for Mueller. Mueller didn’t have a campaign. Do you like this question?

You should read the Report. It’s mentioned quite a bit.

[Plasmaball]

Dossier wasnt what started this. He will shut that down.

It doesn’t matter what I read. Nobody cares. But rest assured, questions such as these will most certainly be asked. Just you wait.

For your perusual and information, here’s one section where Mueller mentions the dossier. Volume 1, pages 27-28:

On January 6, 2017, as noted in Volume II, Section 11.A.4, supra, intelligence officials
briefed President-Elect Trump and the incoming Administration on the intelligence community’s
assessment that Russia had interfered in the 2016 presidential election. 107 When the briefing
concluded, Corney spoke with the President-Elect privately to brief him on unverified, personally
sensitive allegations compiled by Steele.108 According to a memorandum Corney drafted
immediately after their private discussion, the President-Elect began the meeting by telling Corney
he had conducted himself honorably over the prior year and had a great reputation. 109 The
President-Elect stated that he thought highly of Corney, looked forward to working with him, and
hoped that he planned to stay on as FBI director.
11° Corney responded that he intended to continue
serving in that role.
111 Corney then briefed the President-Elect on the sensitive material in the
Steele reporting.112 Corney recalled that the President-Elect seemed defensive, so Corney decided to assure him that the FBI was not investigating him personally. 113 Corney recalled he did not
want the President-Elect to think of the conversation as a “J. Edgar Hoover move.” 114
On January 10, 2017, the media reported that Corney had briefed the President-Elect on
the Steele reporting,
115 and BuzzFeed News published information compiled by Steele online,
stating that the information included “specific, unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations
of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives.” 116 The next day, the President-Elect
expressed concern to intelligence community leaders about the fact that the information had leaked
and asked whether they could make public statements refuting the allegations in the Steele
reports. 117
