Mueller: Sad As A Wrinkled Little Balloon

Wednesday, July 24th, 2019

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.”

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.
