It’s been said that history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy and the second time as farce. But what happens if the first time was farce?
Today a farce of a farce played out in the House, with Robert Mueller testifying on his report. What made Democrats decide that this hearing was the way to finally get Trump is unclear, but whatever their reasons, it certainly didn’t play out to their advantage. It’s like that scene in a horror movie where somebody fires shot after shot at the monster, all to no effect, only to finally throw the gun at them in desperation. Now imagine that the gun is actually made of soft cheese.
Robert Mueller is that gun.
A highlight is when Mueller said he didn’t know what Fusion GPS was. That’s like saying “I wrote a book on the modern NFL, but I’ve never heard of this ‘Tom Brady’ person you keep referring to.”
Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH): “When you talk about the firm that produced the Steele [dossier], the name of the firm that produced that was Fusion GPS. Is that correct?”
Robert Mueller: “I’m not familiar … with that”

Robert Mueller literally just said he wasn't familiar with Fusion GPS. My Lord. My Lord.

How can Fusion Gps and Steele dossier be outside of Mueller’s “purview” entirely? They provided many of the allegations he spent all that time investigating. He could totally answer those questions that go to his report. #MuellerHearing

Wait, what? Mueller was confused about who and what Fusion GPS is and does? This is a total, complete, apocalyptic disaster for the conspiracy-theory Democrats. This is imploding on them. Hilarious. #MuellerHearings

Mueller either has severe & concerning memory loss or he knows less about what happened in 2016 than we do. How the hell does he not know who Fusion GPS is? They’re a central player in the attempt to takedown @realDonaldTrump. They’re named in his report! pic.twitter.com/TI2qqOZ25v

Mueller is once again a unique figure in Washington D.C.
He’s the only one in town who *isn’t* familiar with Fusion GPS https://t.co/edimD6LhNq— Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) July 24, 2019
More tweets:
Republicans are discrediting Mueller to the point that Dems will start saying the only reason collusion wasn’t found is that Mueller was incompetent. #MuellerHearings

Steube: When did you learn Christopher Steele's dossier allegations were false and unverified?
Mueller: Not going to answer that.
Steube: When did you learn the FISA application on Carter Page used Steele's false information?
Mueller: Not going to answer that.— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) July 24, 2019
In fact, he comes across as completely out of it, a figurehead to protect those who were actually running the probe. That so many Clinton allies were running the probe without real oversight from Mueller (or any skepticism from the media) is suddenly difficult to ignore. https://t.co/Zf2ot6zhMm

Democrats made a huge mistake. Today’s #MuellerHearing is a campaign highlight video for Trump. Proof there was no collusion, proof Mueller let off Democrats who committed actual crimes.

Remember, folks. Weissman was involved with the dossier and Bruce Ohr in 2016
Weissman was talking about bringing in Mueller even before Comey was fired
Mueller came into all of this rather late in the game as a figurehead and that's never been more obvious than today

It’s nice that Mueller is getting to read the Mueller report for the first time.

No single individual has done more to corroborate Trump's charges of a Democrat-led witch hunt than Mueller, who showed today he had no day-to-day oversight of his own investigation, no knowledge of his employees' backgrounds, and no understanding of basic claims in his report.

The more this hearing goes on, the more it becomes painfully clear that not only did Bob Mueller not write his own report—he was barely involved or in control of it at all.
You know who was? His team of Democrats.
This was a resistance-driven partisan witch hunt all along.

Mueller Testimony
Congress: *Asks a question*
Mueller: I uh, if I wrote it in the report I will take your word for it, but I can't speculate whether I made the calculation to the truth of uh uh that. I am not going to talk about the uh uh thing you said. What was the question?

Also, this was not a good look:
There was a last-minute surprise from Mueller, a request to have a wet nurse present and sitting next to him during the hearings. The wet nurse is one Aaron Zebley, who you might remember was the attorney for the Hillary Clinton IT guy who set up the illegal basement server and smashed up Hillary’s Blackberry phones. Why was this guy on Mueller’s team since it seems like he has some very real conflicts of interest? Nevermind. Anyway, it’s unclear what Zebley’s role will be. I heard he will not be sworn in/ testify before Judiciary, but he will before Intelligence. I guess we will find out because the Democrats don’t want to spoil the movie for you.
The real reason Zebley is there is because Mueller didn’t have much to do with the report. His role was one of a celebrity endorser, like Bob Dole endorsing Viagra. The real authors were the same corrupt bureaucrats who have been using the government’s power and authority to terrorize and surveil their political enemies and rack up other targets to amass career-boosting Scooby snacks. Mueller also doesn’t seem like he’s in good shape, I half expect to find him drinking out of some congressman’s fish tank during the hearing break.
A smattering of Democrats (including presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren) are making brave noises that Mueller’s testimony “justifies” impeachment (never mind that the House tabled an impeachment motion just last week), but the consensus on both sides is that this hearing was a disaster for them.

Scott Adams tweet is already coming true!
Somebody brought up Vincent Gigante, the Mafia don who pretended to be crazy in a vain attempt to prevent successful prosecution. Maybe Mueller is playing the senile card in order to wash his hands over his part in handling this stinking turd.
