This is the OFFICIAL live thread for the Mueller Testimony taking place on Capitol Hill 2019-07-24T12:15:00Z
Please post all of your comments and theories related to the Mueller testimony hearing in this thread. There are three live streams below. More will be added as they become available so you can watch the testimony on your favorite (or least despised) channel.
Rumors are swirling that the lawyer Mueller is bringing to the testimony is only there to reveal the plot to frame President Trump if Mueller chickens out and refuses to come clean. I guess we’ll find out in a few hours, but it seems possible.
I think the Democrats will showboat as usual and the Republicans will ask softball questions because they don’t want to be criticized in the media. I expect Mueller to refuse to answer most questions. Then, the idiots in Congress will scatter like the wind for summer recess.
Trump weighed in…

I covered this already in the thread Spygate
Here we go! All great questions and the ones trying to orchestrate this circus is not fooling the American! The republicans like Jim Jordan, Matt Gates and Doug Collins will get their turn and the fireworks will be a sight to see!
Mueller looks like he belongs in a wheel chair playing checkers at a elderly complex, not in front of congress.
Mueller sounds like he’s drugged. Is this somnolent incoherence what the Democrats expected from him?
Mueller comes up with an “easy out” to questions that might reveal more than he wants…“I can’t get into that.”
Very significant is his use of that answer when he was asked who wrote his 9 minute speech he presented last May. His answer revealed all that was necessary…he didn’t write it.
He’s a puppet for the team.
Mueller refuses to discuss Russia probe origins, Steele dossier in testimony
Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller said Wednesday that he would not discuss any information regarding the origins of the Russia investigation—including questions about the bureau’s initial probe and the now-infamous anti-Trump dossier—during his highly anticipated hearing on Capitol Hill.
During his opening statement before the House Judiciary Committee, Mueller again expressed his reluctance as an appointed prosecutor to testify before Congress and warned that he would not answer certain questions.
“It is unusual for a prosecutor to testify about a criminal investigation and given my role as a prosecutor there are reasons why my testimony will be limited,” Mueller said Wednesday, noting that his public testimony could influence “ongoing matters.”
“I am unable to answer questions about the FBI’s initial opening of the counterintelligence investigation,” Mueller continued, adding he would be unable to answer questions on “matters relating to the Steele dossier.”
“Those matters are subject to review and any questions on that should be directed to the FBI or the Department of Justice,” Mueller said, referring in part to the dossier compiled by Christopher Steele.
His comments came within minutes of being sworn in as a witness, in an apparent attempt to tamp down Republican lawmakers’ questions on the matters.
Republicans on both committees planned to focus their questions on the origins of the Russia investigation—including questions on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against the Trump campaign in 2016, the unverified anti-Trump dossier, and evidence of political bias from special counsel team members like former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
One Republican source told Fox News Tuesday that they expected Mueller “to try to get out of answering a lot of those questions,” and claimed they are “outside the bounds” of his report—specifically on the issue of how the FBI could have used the dossier to obtain FISA warrants. The source said he may also say that “those questions are subject to ongoing investigation.”
The Justice Department told Mueller that his testimony “must remain within the boundaries” of the public, redacted version of his report, according to a letter obtained by Fox News.
At the White House, President Trump has attempted to discredit Mueller by calling him “highly conflicted,” suggesting he should not be given the chance to testify.
“Highly conflicted Robert Mueller should not be given another bite at the apple. In the end it will be bad for him and the phony Democrats in Congress who have done nothing but waste time on this ridiculous Witch Hunt,” Trump tweeted Monday. “Result of the Mueller Report, NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION.”
Mueller seems confused!
Nadler cuts off Mueller’s answer to a question from a Republican because “we’re running short of time.” What a dick!
The truth is coming out on Dirty Don the Con!
Mueller is a moron. All Americans are innocent until proven guilty. Anything else is communism.
Mueller is a Democrat boot licker and a traitor to the United States.
I perceive that he is intimidated by the Republican committee members and somewhat anxious to agree with the Democrats.
So to close out, the Democrat Party members have a line of “presenters” getting their dramatically spoken opinions into the Congressional Record.
The Republicans have run out of questioners.
The Dems are now promoting Mueller’s credentials as a Marine, a wounded veteran and a great FBI Director…as if ANY of that has to do with his integrity regarding partisan politics.
Not going to get into that…
