donald already playing the victim.

Donald is not who they need to worry about. Let the grilling begin!

@Jezcoe

So then we will all have an informed opinion about such things.

You’re over thinking it. We don’t need informed opinions. All we have to do is sit back watch the grilling and enjoy. This will be more fun than the democratic clown show tomorrow night. Get your popcorn.

Nah. I would rather have the declassified Carter Page FISA warrant.

Tired of guessing

I know right? If only they did things on OUR time frame, things would be so much better. We may not get FISA when we would like it, but you can bet the 17th will be quite a good show. Agreed?

Who wants to bet me that fat donald will start bombing Iran within the next couple of weeks.

I wish what was in the report was already in the report…

[Scratch]

I’ll say the bombs fly the day before he testifies…

[Apocalypto]

I’m going with 5 days before.

[lessright]

I asked you once before. How could Mueller make that determination with any certainty before he interviewed the principal? That only happened months before the investigation ended.

[lessright]

I thought it was ‘absolute immunity’ this week.

[lessright]

Only if it wasn’t a nothing burder.

My only question would be. Mr Mueller, you indicated in your report that you could not bring charges against a sitting president due to standing OLC policy. Had said policy not been in place, could or would a special prosecutor in this case have brought forth any charges based on what was derived from the investigation?

That’s the $64,000 question. I don’t think he’ll answer this to the satisfaction of a lot of people but I hope what he says empowers the Dems to kick some White House butt.

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

He will not be in a position to shut down anything. This or a similar question will be asked whether you like it or not. And the rest of the questions will be even harder. His investigation is about to be shredded. And you can thank Shifty and Nads for it.

Are you going to be disappointed! He will remain the loyal soldier. His public statement showed that. I just hope he says enough to give the Dems a lot to go on. Either way they win here because we’ll get more on the Report even if a small portion. #factsmatter

Im interested in two things:

1. Will any of the Dems be bold enough to ask the question in the first place because I know most of them are thinking it.
2. Would he even answer it.

In my own opinion and just my opinion, I think the question will be asked. I don’t believe it will be answered in any sort of straight forward manner, keeping in mind Mueller is a career lawyer who knows how to double speak when the need arises.

Hell I’d be surprised if he even gave a Comey type answer like “No reasonable prosecutor…”

He can’t answer that. And said so in the report.

Because it would be the government effectively making an accusation and denying the accused the fight to confront the accuser.

Dollars to donuts says he won’t answer it.

Oh I realize that and yet there is one poster here who swears up and down that Mueller told Barr on THREE separate occasions that the OLC policy had nothing to do with that. Seems to me if that was the case and the AG said so in his own testimony, it wouldn’t be out of line for Mueller to state the same in open testimony. In the circumstance I would say that someone wasn’t quite being forthcoming. That alone would be the price of admission.

Should be a pretty open and shut issue from there.

1. Either Mueller agrees that the OLC policy withstanding, there isn’t enough to charge a crime.
   Or
2. Mueller thinks there is enough but could not bring charges due to said policy.

Don’t think there is a whole lot of wiggle room on that one. To answer one way or the opposite is to bring closure to that specific hiccup. To dance around it means someone isn’t being truthful with what happened in conversations between Mueller and Barr.

Trump supporters appear to be foaming at the mouth attempting to paint the Mueller report as a nothingburger. Sorry, I read the report, Trump isn’t fit to hold the office of the President.

[Konssurvative1]

Can’t touch Trump!

[westaussie]

Let me help you if I can. Mueller has previously said that he will only be repeating what he has included in the report. Therefore, any question that a Republican chooses to ask him during the hearing that is not relevant to the content of the report is likely to get short shrift from Mueller.

However, if a Democrat asks Mueller a question that is included in the report, Mueller is likely to recapitulate the content of the report. His responses will be broadcast and re-broadcast on tv for the general populace to see. That audience will be far greater than those who have read the Mueller Report.

It’s the Mueller chicken ■■■■ Dossier, except Mueller hasn’t read it, and doesn’t know what’s in it. It was written by the Democrat lawyers Mueller hired.
