How did they think that. This dude isn't some sort of person that will heroically defend justice against idiots. He is a dude doing his job and making sure he doesn't go out of line.

I also find it un-American that Mueller didn't decide to indict. Thanks young Republican!

Is it just me or did it look like Mueller was genuinely stricken by the Anti-American accusation- his poise seemed to waver there for a moment, and not in an angry way.

He has a Fox News scam lawyer now whom he hired to try and blow up the prosecution of one of his co-conspirators. Said co-conspirator was found guilty yesterday and is going to prison now, so I’d say Flynn is currently somewhere on the scale between hosed and turbofucked.

But I’ve been wrong before when it comes to Things Mattering. Stay tuned.

there's like 7 more democrats than republicans on this committee, so they'll go one after another at the end, hence his request only being directed at them
