23. I was thinking that he was exhibiting cognitive decline.

But I am not a doctor and I did NOT stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I had high hopes for Mueller, but at the very beginning he limited his own investigation to NOT look at financials, which is really where all the bodies (that Americans can understand) are buried. Then, after his report was thrown in the garbage can by Barr, who stated publicly that Mueller COULD HAVE FILED INDICTMENTS if he thought it was warranted, all he could muster was a Susan Collins like "strongly worded letter" of disagreement with Barr.

When he FINALLY did go before Congress he seemed to lack confidence, was unsure of himself, and as others stated had that "deer in the headlights" look. It seemed so unlike someone who was the epitome of professionalism.

I think Graham is going to shred him. People will see it for what it is, but Mueller will be decimated.

I'm sure Lindsey will try. AleksS Jul 2020 #1

Mueller certainly hasn't given the world much reason to trust him. C_U_L8R Jul 2020 #11
Also, he seemed somewhat frail, and not an effective communicator. deurbano Jul 2020 #14
Yeah, although I won't fault him for his faculties being seemingly off. I was never on that whole Guy Whitey Corngood Jul 2020 #18
