Collins: Have you conducted any further interviews? Collins: Curtailed or stopped. Collins: Questions ahead of time? Mueller: NO.

Republican strategy thus far is to attack Mueller for not reaching a decision on Trump. Nadler HAS to give Mueller enough time to explain that.

Sensenbrenner: Starr could refer Clinton's obstruction for lying about a blowjob to Congress but your regulations do not allow to refer for impeachment.

Jordan: Mifsud lied. You didn't charge him with a crime. Mueller: Can't get into internal deliberations. Jordan: FBI spied on two people associated with campaign. Mueller won't fact-check but he should.
Show this thread -
Jordan is spewing outright conspiracy theories here. Mueller won't call on him.
Show this thread -
Note: there's a natural follow-up here. Mueller says he can't get into charging decisions abt Mifsud, but that's the entire report. Q should be: were non-Trump people outside scope of report?
Show this thread -
Jordan just misstook Mifsud for McGahn, complaining Mueller didn't charge him.

Mueller looks more like he normally would in testifying, shuffling papers, listening carefully. Still not speaking into mic.

Gaetz: Steele dossier Russian disinformation? Mueller: Predated investigation. Gaetz-the-Putz now confusing crimes with the investigation of it.

Mueller: Let me back up and say Steele is beyond my purview. Gaetz: Either Steele made this up or Russians lied to Steele. Not actually true, but whatev.
Show this thread -
Gaetz-the-Putz also conflating Steele potentially lying generally and lying to investigators. I mean, if lying generally, Trump would be facing life.
Show this thread -
Mueller has told Republicans that Steele dossier is under investigation. If they weren't stupid fucks they'd run with that.

Buck questioning Mueller's analysis on Flynn matter, eg questioning whether Flynn was a pending matter, claiming that Flynn was not a witness.
Show this thread -
Buck falsely claiming that Mueller declined to charge Trump on conspiracy. Mueller says that was fair. That's not actually right: if he can't charge him, he can't charge him for conspiracy.
Show this thread -
And Buck working on that answer, "you made that decision on conspiracy."
Show this thread -
Buck: Could you charge Trump w/crime after he left office? Mueller: Yes. Buck repeats it. Buck: Ethically?
Show this thread -
Buck's questioning was particularly good, but he asked a question he didn't know the answer to, and got the wrong answer.
