what's in the report is *already deeply damning.*

Don't get spun!



Whether intentional or not, this directive serves to pre-frame the hearings, potentially in a manner that politically benefits President Trump.

It sets up the core question as this: Will Mueller go outside the four corners of what’s in his report, or will he remain inside them?

But Mueller doesn’t have to “go beyond” his report for his testimony to be very damaging to Trump. What’s in his report is already deeply devastating.

He has to protect his own ass as much as trump's now that he's lied to the American public.

This might not be fire works, but the report was incredibly damning and this is Democrats chance to highlight the worst parts of it in public. All eyes will be on Mueller and all he has to do is stand behind his report.

Do you have the balls to tell us the truth or are they hanging in Trump's trophy case with his fake golf awards?
