when the Dems ask a ? Mueller either answers "that is correct or that is accurate" or " I refer back to the report" therefore the Dem will read the quote from the report into the record, and telling the watching public the relevant details they have been too lazy to read...

when the Repugs ask ?'s , Mueller is mostly saying he can't get into that, it's being investigated by others, not in his purview, etc

Jim jackass Jordan is now pissing him off... this can only get better

You can tell that they all are in lockstep with things to discredit Mueller.

The dick who is now spurting questions is asking Mueller things he KNOWS Mueller can't answer because Barr ORDERED Mueller not to say anything beyond the the contents of the report.

How can such an American hero, republican at that, sit there and allow these coward, treasonous assholes to disgrace his life long service. He should stand up, say fuck you, trump is guilty ass fuck and a Russian asset. Mic drop, walk off into retirement.
