How would you hold up under the pressure...?

...of having the Attorney General of the United States, the entire DOJ, the President of the United States, and the entire Republican Party on your back?

How would you hold up under that type of pressure?

That seems to be where Robert Mueller is at this time.

Although we have been told about his integrity, his character, his independence, his war record, his many years of FBI Director, he seems to be folding under the pressure?

I hope I am wrong about that but that is a lot of weight to carry around.

Any expectations about tomorrow's hearing probably should be lowered immediately.

1. When Mueller didn't immediately speak for more than ten minutes

I was alarmed.

We as a nation are in a very bad place. The power hungry will hold onto power as long as possible to the detriment to the rest of us.

2. Without putting himself in legal jeopardy.....

... Robert Mueller should stand up, and do what is best for this country. If he strays outside the lines the doj has set, and as stated, does not put himself in legal jeopardy, he should look straight into the camera and address the doj and Barr with a prominent middle finger. I would venture a guess that Robert Mueller is financially stable, and is set for life with a substantial estate. If that is true, then I ask, What will the doj and Trump do? Beat him up when he leaves the building?

Of course this will not happen, and I expect a good amount of disappointment in his testimony, but it should, with emphasis on the middle finger.

3. The other problem is the set-up for the hearing.

Each questioner gets, what, 10 minutes? No time for continuity but lots of time for grandstanding.

4. I suspect the whole hearing will be chaotic...

...and people may be more confused when it is over?

[hedda_foil]

5. 5 minutes per questioner.

6. It should have been turned over to one questioner.

7. Yup 😣

9. It should be, or at least a small number so questioning is coordinated. But, every member wants

their chance to bolster their political ambitions.

That's why it will probably turn into a chitshow and nothing of value will be disclosed.

8. I think that accepting the assignment in the first place...

Was probably just as much stress on him.

He is very smart and organized. He also seems extremely steady. He already knows what he will wade into and what he won’t. The beauty of the stability and intelligence of people like Mueller is that they understand control. What they can control and what they can’t.
