ExpandMyMind Posted July 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) For anyone who's interested, here's the live broadcast of Mueller's testimony before Congress. It starts at 08.30 EDT, and then again at 12.00 I think it is. https://www.c-span.org/video/?462628-1/robert-mueller-testifies-house-judiciary-committee Edited July 24, 2019 by ExpandMyMind 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, wait, if I make plans to murder someone but they don't get murdered, then there was no crime? Cool. That'll come in handy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skliss Posted July 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2019 What a waste of time! What's amazing to me is that Mueller seems to not know a lot of stuff even stuff in the report. Also that no one on his team ever saw or reviewed all of the evidence. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll come in handy. Firing someone is not a crime. Now if he had been fired there may be an argument that justice was obstructed unless the investigation continued under a different special counsel, which is moot since it didn’t happen. murder is illegal and your argument is flawed. But way to quote the party line and not think it through yourself 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss plans to proceed with the act? Buy a gun? Get caught on the way to the person's house with lethal weapons in the car and a manifesto on the front seat? There are degrees to anything and no blanket statement fits all occasions. But I'm sure you realize that, so why the overly simplified question? P.S. And if you want a really neat visit from some G-men, trying saying even the simplest form of "I'll kill you" about the president/other government officials on social media. There are a couple of cops who just found that out the hard way. Edited July 24, 2019 by ScotDeerie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotic Jew Posted July 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I hate these things and don't think they should be televised. Allow reporters, allow it to be recorded but with it televised it turns into less of a "hearing" and more into a bunch of political grandstanding and attempts to "score points" by everyone involved. He's supposed to be answering questions yet 99.999999% of the time it's just politicians spewing nonsense and seeing how many words they can say before they run out of time and/or breath. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen, he's just accentuating his biased stance. The guy simply refuses to answer pertinent questions about the role he played in the FISA warrant process. He won't get to do that if Durham gets him in a witness box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted July 24, 2019 #16 Share Posted July 24, 2019 1 hour ago, ScotDeerie said: Way to ASSume. As the president, he IS the Executive Branch of our government. He runs that entire branch and has the authority to hire, with oversight by Congress in many cases, but he has unlimited authority to fire anyone for any reason. He isn't a bellhop or a rubber stamp for another branch of government. He is co-equal. Firing the corrupt idiot Comey was long overdue and the investigation obviously never missed a beat. It went on for two YEARS. He wasn't indicted and Mueller made it clear to Barr that this action had nothing to do with the DoJ memo about indicting a sitting president. All of this prolonged hysteria will most likely ensure his re-election next year. WELL DONE! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer77 Posted July 24, 2019 #17 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Quote Asked about if he agreed with the Attorney General William Barr's characterization of his report, Robert Mueller did not directly address the accuracy of Barr's summary Mueller, however, said he sent a letter "raising issues" on March 27. He added that the "letter speaks for itself." https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/robert-mueller-congress-testimony/h_e50e6ac6bd7f028250f14cf6d5a56356 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer77 Posted July 24, 2019 #19 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Quote Robert Mueller confirmed that President Trump asked staff to falsify records relevant to the ongoing investigation. The issue came up during a line of questioning by Democratic Republican Rep. Cedric Richmond. Here is that exchange: Richmond: So it's fair to say the President tried to protect himself by asking staff to falsify records relevant to an ongoing investigation? Mueller: I would say that's generally a summary. Richmond: Would you say that that action the President tried to hamper the investigation by asking staff to falsify records relevant to your investigation? Mueller: I am just going to have to refer you to the report if I could for the review of that episode. Richmond: Thank you. Also the President's attempt to get McGahn to create a false written record were related to Mr. Trump's concerns were related to President Trump's concerns about your obstruction of justice inquiry, correct? Mueller: I believe that to be true. Edited July 24, 2019 by Farmer77 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotDeerie Posted July 24, 2019 #20 Share Posted July 24, 2019 ...when House Democrats asked Mueller whether his report fully exonerated Trump, Mueller simply said “no.” Then they asked Mueller if it’s his view that Trump can be criminally indicted for obstruction of justice once he’s no longer in office. Mueller’s answer: “yes.” OOPS. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted July 24, 2019 #21 Share Posted July 24, 2019 so what's the point of that Farmer, since it's your mission to get the Tyrant removed from office and executed? If you have to wait until he's no longer in office, isn't that rather defeating the point of ridding America of the Trump terror and getting a nice Democrat puppet installed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them So far my favorite parts are when the repubs ask what they think is a "SCORE" question and then when not getting the answer they were hoping for they interrupt the man to let him know they have a limited amount of time and need to try to speak for 3 minutes before asking a single question. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time in history the point of the hearing really is nothing more than attempting to ensure our nation stays an in tact representative democracy. Dont think its working, but when you see all these right wing articles squealing about "why have him testify" that is your answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
