I could have sworn there was a political board somewhere here.

I didn’t watch much, but he looked and sounded old and confused

...more and more, the admins are allowing political posts on the OT. I suspect this isn't coincidence.

The guy has been instructed to say nothing by the Justice department
This is part of it.
He's also bound by the rules creating and outlining his position.
He's not allowed to discuss any redacted materials or any other classified material.
He's not allowed to talk about cases that may be pending.
Think about the Republican's questions in regards to those things. They are insinuating a "deep state" targeting of Donald Trump and his campaign, because they know Mueller is duty-bound and legally bound from answering their questions in full or in most of the questions at all. This lends the air of Mueller "dodging" their questions, because he's doing his job as they knew he was required to do. Which is why Attorney General Barr began the investigation into the investigators.
You have a candidate and campaign that from reliable sources are said to be engaging with a hostile foreign government. You are duty-bound to investigate that. Sorry, Donald and Co. if you got stuff to hide should have thought about that before running and before meeting over 200 times with known Russian assets. Anyone attacking the origination of the investigation is purposely misleading the public.
The Special Council could not determine if Trump conspired. Great, let's move on to protecting our Country from the obvious holes in the system that made it a possibility. But the Republicans and Trump aren't wanting to shore up the holes and are purposefully leaving them open. That's unacceptable.
Full disclaimer: I don't care for this President. He's doing some good things (like tariffs), but good wrapped in racism isn't good for the Country. Politicizing race for temporary power usually leads to violence against the groups deemed 'other' down the line.

An expert is a man wearing a suit fifty miles from his hometown.
I once worked with and Electrical Engineer, Adrian, whose degree was from University of California Berkeley. He told more BS.
He told about working for NASA on the Atlas Rocket program. His words, "There was an eight inch ball valve that would get so hot, the only thing that would cool it was a mixture of kerosene and oxygen." I thought, its no wonder so many exploded on the launching pad.

I watched some of it. I wonder if he even read the report with this name on it.
Posted on 7/25/19 at 12:24 pm to RidiculousHype
The reason he sounded so befuddled yesterday is because he was asked to testify about an investigation he clearly did not lead and a report he clearly did not write. The dude was nothing more than a figurehead put in place to give the whole Russia Probe some semblance of legitimacy. And now even that is gone.

Is anyone really surprised by this? Is this not what we were all expecting to happen? It's what I expected.

What in the actual frick are you making up here? So much bs in one post.

Go watch Mueller during the 9/11 hearings on You Tube. Clearly he is older but was instructed not to say much other than direct to the report. He came off totally different.

A non-political observation about supposed experts being empty suits? Thanks anyway, hall monitor

Name one actual racist thing he's done.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone knows anything anymore.
I understand your take, but allow me to offer an alternative. In his field, and similar fields, your word is taken as gold and factual. And people will actually hold you to it. It's not like some people who can go to the Twitter and completely contradict what they said a few months ago and still feed it to the news/people.
In my field, if I say something to a client, whether they fully understood it or not, they will take it and run with it. If I say that, "this looks ok", they will submit that expense report. If I find something wrong with that report later and deny it, they will fire back, "no, you said it was ok" and I will be held to that, so instead I have to be like, "it looks ok, but I can not confirm that until I do a full review."
I took it as he was limiting the risk of something he said as being misconstrued or misinterpreted and in doing that you got a lot of "yes" "no" or "that is what I believe to be true"
I'm sorry but with the media, social media and the publics interaction with both, he has to cover himself too
Unfortunate that people took it as him not being up to the task

Literally telling American citizens to "go back to their country"
And don't say he didn't say that to someone directly, even the blindest could tell who that was directed to
I don't like any of those politicians policies. One is super hung up on Isreal and it seems she only ran for that reason, while others socialist policies would wreck the country, but that was pretty messed up

Wrong. He basically told them that if they don't like it here, and from their own words they obviously don't, then they're free to leave. Nothing "racist" about it unless you want to take it that way because to do so serves to verify your own political bias.

How is that racist?

I think he is an accomplished member of the Justice Department. However, I think we saw that he was just a supposed “non-partisan” figurehead, used to try to prevent Trump from labeling this a political witch-hunt, and nothing more. He clearly did not write the special counsel’s report, nor was he clearly in firm control of the investigation.
