At 5:30 when Robert answers "Yes" , the lady behind him is a total mood.... She was like "hell YES"
Probably one of his staff who helped write the report and knows it all.
Big facts lol!!!
Ahahahaha good eye!!
I watched her all through the hearing. Her face pretty much displayed the Democratic opinion. But this was what she got most emphatic about. I laughed when she nodded, even though I was shocked that a Republican had just stated that the president CAN be charged.
As were we!
People are not used to someone being concise and thinking through the ramifications of a single utterance. It's almost like Mueller was from a past where people expected integrity and clarity...weird.
@@deletedchannel9945 what is fusion gps, earthling?
@@deletedchannel9945 Neat. If i cared one jot for the species of humanity I might just entertain an argument with an anonymous stranger on something widely available on wikipedia. But I have a drain that needs unblocking.
@@deletedchannel9945 Thanks for the entertainment.
@Kim B I haven’t got a clue what Fusion GPS is. But I’m gathering it’s some made up GOP nonsense about Hillary Clinton that has nothing to do with Trump’s collusion with the enemy that attacked our country’s democratic election in ‘16, and nothing to do with Trump’s obstructing justice by firing James Comey. Sounds like it (made up nonsense about Hillary Clinton, this isn’t about Hillary, has nothing to do with her, sorry) has everything to do with deflecting from Trump’s impeachable crimes.
Stars Align no it’s a way Clinton laundered money to pay for their acts of treason, it’s not nonsense. Please watch the hearings and see how transparent the left has become with their crimes, it might be tough to hear but the clintons are actually the bad guys. The reports that have come out show with FACTS AND EVIDENCE that the fbi is dirty and in the Democrats pocket, they intentionally have been trying to influence the election, and whether you think trump should be president or not, it’s treasonous to try to remove him or use the influence of the FBI to meddle with presidential candidates, and if you really think that’s okay then I don’t agree with you on the way our country should be.
Muller: it's almost like none of you knows how to read!
Steven Zephyc Yep. Every single elected official had a responsibility to read every syllable of that report and most have failed to do so. How pissed must Mueller be that he poured 22 months of his life into that report and so few people are actually giving it the due it deserves?
@@ApoloniaJones1976 It's not even my damn job and I managed to read the stupid report 4 times (save for all the black parts about Roger Stone, my ouija board is broken). Maybe I should run for congress.
Well....literacy rate for adults in the US is pretty bad. Around half are below proficiency, so that wouldn’t be surprising.
@@saradanhoff6539 I'm not even an American and I still read at least parts of the report.
It's funny to know when someone pretends to have read it but their argument is literally countered by WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON PAGE 1 xD
Sara Danhoff: You should definitely run for Congress. Seriously. No one else did the homework.
"Can you charge the president with obstruction of justice after he's out of office?"
Mueller: *opens eyes slightly more* YES!
That is the most emotion Mueller has ever expressed. We share your enthusiasm, Bobby.
Which was since walked back by Mueller...
In his opening statement in Wednesday afternoon’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Mueller was quick to correct that misimpression:
Now, before we go to questions, I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, “You didn’t charge the president because of the OLC opinion.” That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.
I did spot his jaw drop a couple of times at the shit being talked!
@@deletedchannel9945 Here is what troubles me the most... He was tasked with investigating Russian Meddling in the 2016 election... But he only investigated the Trump campaign and team. He did not investigate both sides at all. Knowing they impacted the election on both sides of the isle... why was not a single person on this team before, and during Mueller's time as Chief Prosecutor working on the Democratic side (when there was glaring evidence of meddling on the DNC side of this)?
@@deletedchannel9945 _"the report is a one sided politcal document, it omits important details"_ Few other than those with a dog in the fight would agree; the Mueller report was apolitical, and based upon the facts. A report cannot include every single detail. If there are details you feel are relevant that were excluded, that does not take away from the overall veracity of a report.
@@deletedchannel9945 _"After Steele was banned from the fbi as a source he was still illegally using Ohr as a surrogate..."_ Many of the claims from the Steele report turned out to be accurate; Steele was not "making things up." Some claims turned out to be unverified. That is the nature of the business in gathering intelligence; not all claims can be factual.
Yet if some findings turn out to be incorrect, you don't throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. (Trump supporters, in their usual manner of maintaining dishonesty, wish to create the illusion that the dossier was bogus.)
The reason why Steele was fired by the FBI had nothing to do with his unreliability with the facts. Allow one of your apparently favorite sources, FOX News, to explain the reason why: www.foxnews.com/politics/fisa-memo-steele-fired-as-an-fbi-source-for-breaking-cardinal-rule-leaking-to-the-media
As far as your choice of word describing your unhappiness about why Ohr was kept being used as a surrogate, how exactly would that be "illegal"? Was a law enacted somewhere that disallows anyone from using Ohr in the manner you described?
.
Mueller says he doesn't care about their political affiliation and concerned if they can do the job with integrity. A foreign word to the GOP.
@@deletedchannel9945 Mueller is a lifelong Republican. He's definitely not trying to throw his own party under the bus. He's just speaking the truth about a treasonous president.
Except that Mueller IS a Republican.
While everyone else is checking the meaning of exculpate, the GOP is looking for the word 'integrity'.

He didn't look pissed. He looked confused. But for only 6 hours.
They are so damn stupid and repetitive. I would lose it, and jump over that desk.
I wish people would stop making fun of old people. We’ll all be old someday & likely will ask people to repeat stuff. How come people & sports stadiums are about the only things deemed less valuable as they age?

We should indeed not make fun of old people.
But can we agree that some old people have deteriorating abilities and should not be given tasks with responsibilities that affect 300 million people.??

Got it, only make fun of people for things you won't have to deal with later.
He was just trying to be clear about everything
Nothing to due with age
Q: You could indict the President for obstruction of justice after he left office?
A: Yes
Case closed.
matthewtattoo I’m almost certain Mueller meant “the POTUS” in a general sense and did not mean that the _current_ POTUS could/should be indicted after he left office.
I would agree with that. The question was if it was generally possible to charge a POTUS that committed crimes in office for those crimes after he left that office - and the answer to that was "Yes." He did not say (because he wasn't asked) if he plans on doing so with the current one - or if he thinks it SHOULD be done.
The problem with this is, that Mueller as a career lawyer has a very ... legal ... sense of what "guilt" is. He probably wouldn't be okay with calling anyone "guilty" unless and until they have been convicted. But as Trump can't be indicted, there can't be a trial, so he can't be "guilty". Anyone, including the POTUS is innocent until proven guilty. That doesn't mean he didn't commit any crimes; plenty of people out there committing crimes and being found guilty YEARS later...
@@Graatand No, he meant Trump. Mueller was asked if "he" could charge the president after he left office. He implying currently. Not if a special counsel has the authority to charge obstruction of justice, generally. This question indicated whether or not Mueller has substantial evidence against the current president.
@Mr.
Why would “he” imply that Mueller was talking specifically about Trump? All presidents so far have been “he”s. Was the question unambiguously phrased as being about Trump specifically? If not, what exactly makes you so certain that Mueller did not understand and answer the question as being about the office of the president in general?
Indictments are easy. They can't convict because there is no evidence.
Trump wins again!
Justice Department guidelines are not law, and any "guidelines" that permit a violation of law to persist by any person in any position should be reevaluated immediately!
I understand the history of that guideline and the reason behind it. They were wrong then and they are wrong now. No one is above the law, no matter his position or the other checks in place to punish him. "Justice" Department indeed!
Given his reporting structure within the government and reporting directly to a representative of said department (of Justice, he had to follow the guidelines available to him. He later indicated (not even indirectly), when asked, said person (the PoTUS) could in fact be charged with obstruction of justice after he left office (he did not, however, state whether or not he thought the President would be found guilty in such a scenario because it wasn't asked of him and it would only be conjecture/speculation).
I know people on both sides of this argument wanted Mueller to do one thing or another more definitively, but he has to follow the rules available to him. Otherwise, one or both sides could have justifiably said he wasn't following the rules and that he couldn't be trusted with the investigation. You can't have it both ways. Either he did what he was supposed to do within the rules available to him or he did not. Neither side, as it happens, is arguing he didn't do what he was supposed to or within the rules available to him. They're arguing he should have done more (for opposite reasons).
Mueller would behave under a different set of guidelines and restrictions if he was acting as prosecutor and not special counsel. Let's not conflate the two. They are not the same nor should they be treated as such.
I am going to patent a trump deodorant spray with the slogan "Will cover up anything"

dogbert102010
Absolutely brilliant!
Thw real question is why didn't the republicans ask questions about current russian interference, or how we are to protect America in the future. Hmm...
Because they are part of it.
Will Hurd, (R) Texas asked about current Russian activity.
The question is what are they doing to prevent it? I want Trump held accountable, but more importantly I don't want it to happen again.
@Ber Baby: Was that within the scope of Mueller's report?

I'm sure Donnie'll go on twitter at 5 am and exclaim "No exculpation!" before an aide can explain to him what it means.

@@Ava-wm6cv Trump at 11am (after "executive time"): "No... es culpa sion? WHAT KIND OF FOREIGN FAKE NEWS IS THIS?!"
I like the slogan, "Dolt 45: Worst every time."
I think the reason he asked to repeat a question again and again is quite simple:
If he misunderstands the question, he will probably give a false answer which leads to thousands of news companies quoting him on this error.
A man in such a delicate situation is forced to phrase every sentence as exact as necessary!
Well, if you're used to people talking in a shitty way like Trump, it's quite a difference.
Republicans were talking quickly because they were scared of the answer.
stephen7740 💯 I’m glad to see others noticed as
well. They demonstrated such disrespect to Mr. Mueller by reading/talking at lighting speed, and practically yelling at a veteran & hero. Their tone was uncalled for.
Republicans had a great day yesterday. Leftists didn't.
Was waiting for this
"Integrity." And he's Republican. Just admit you are enabling Trump, GOP. You got nothing to fight him with.
"Did you actually, totally exonerate the President?"
"No."
Make note of this detail. Trump swears, left and right, that the report _totally exonerated him._ So whose interpretation of the report should we trust? A man not exactly renowned for reading or the man who _actually wrote it?_
"Can you explain, so the American people can understand, what the word 'exonerate' means?"
"It means 'exculpate.'"
🤦🤦🤦
he couldnt , iyts not in a any prosecutors remit . Then he confirms once again, that his team did not determine not to charge due to Presidential immunity but because they never came to a conclusion on any guilt regarding the attempt to obstruct justice for a crime which he was cleared of .
@@miikestevens8286 Good god, man! _Punctuation!_ _Grammar!_ You would have us believe that you understand _English,_ so _use the frickin' language!_
I think trump doesnt understand how that works. In justice , you cannot exonerate someone. Basically all you can say is that theres no evidence of wrongdoing. Which means Trump is presumed innocent by the law. No one in the history of modern justice system is exonerated
@@ybyby3rdday Trump was wrong to say he was exonerated, because you have to actually commit a crime to be exonerated.

Clear answer? Wipe the smug off your glasses!
"Could you repeat the question" To be fair, the senator was talking very quickly.
Very quickly.
i understood him but we talk fast here and I could tell he was talking way too fast for the room.
He says it so many times I'm convinced that either the microphones in there were shit or Mueller is hard of hearing. Which, to be clear to all the Trump cronies out there, does NOT negate his testimony in any way.
I saw that part. Sounds like he was at an auction.
He's got a critical mind. That's all that matters. I don't remember long questions when I'm nervous either.
And he prick was doing it on purpose.
I don't quite understand why a sitting president cant be charged with a crime, as that does make them seem above the law, but accepting this
shouldn't statues of limitations be put on pause while they are sitting as president?
He can be charged with a crime. But first a crime has to be committed.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 sounds like a Trump supporter 'talking point'. Muller specifically answered yes to 'if the president were not the president, would he be charged with a crime?'
I don't know if you are pro-Trump or not, but what you have stated in this thread is, based on all I've heard, demonstrably incorrect.
@@brennencox516 Nothing I said was demonstrably incorrect. It does not matter whether I am pro-Trump or not. The fact is you have to commit a crime first before you can be charged with one. Are you suggesting that this is not a fact?
@@bigmacdaddy1234 True, but the way you worded it makes it sound like you don't believe he, Trump, committed a crime.
Muller said crimes were found, so that's why I said what you said is demonstrably incorrect, because it has been demonstrated that he is guilty of crimes.
So, were you just saying something obvious, like hot water is hot?
Or are you making the claim that Trump has not committed any crimes, and therefore can not be charged?
@@brennencox516 You can only be guilty if convicted by a jury of your peers. I can't claim whether or not Trump committed crimes because I am not on the jury panel.

Yes... but the only word that comes to mind with Trump in my mind is 'incarcerate'
Education is a real problem.
Kinda like how you say in spanish: "Disculpe" meaning basically: "Excuse" or "Forgive me."
"Culpa" being the Latin word root and also a cognate of "Culpable" in english. Meaning: "Responsible"
exculpatory: evidence which clears a defendant of ongoing charges, such as that held back from the courts concerning Carter Paige. Some big trouble coming from Ag Barr and his chief investigator as we have this on tape

@@Reyn_Roadstorm Hahahaha agreed.
Mueller couldn’t speak about ongoing investigations. Plus, he said he will only speak about the report. People were asking questions outside of it. So naturally, he referred people to his report. He’s unbiased either way
Emre Veliu ..which is very rare these days. Objectivity and professionalism
But he did pipe up when asked if some behaviour was unethical, "Yes, and criminal." Watch Rachel Maddow's piece for more details.
LOL😂😂😂😂
But he did pipe up several times to clarify that a large number of concepts described in the report are both unpatriotic, and crimes
"Unbiased" yeah....sure pal.
"Do you believe you could charge the President of the United States with obstruction of justice after he left office?" "Yes." 5:30 Just in case anyone was wondering why Trump is now totally pissed off with Mueller.

It’s not Muller’s job to charge the president.
@ Mike Scarborough: Really? Mueller testified that there was no hindrance to the investigation ( under oath) and that Democrats still couldn't provide clear evidence of Russian collusion so how could there be obstruction? The American people all saw it....
You can tell Mueller is a very contemplative, intelligent, deep thinker... For some of those individuals, they like to mull over questions, so what may seem like a slow response is really a very well-thought-out, methodical response. I don't like how people are trying to characterize Mueller as being too old or too slow... He's just a very careful, thoughtful person who is used to analyzing situations before answering them. I believe that's why he didn't want to do this in the first place... He knew he'd be portrayed as something he's not.
Exactly!
Agreed. Do I wish he’d been willing to read from his own report? Yes. Do I wish he’d been a bit quicker on his feet? Yes but ultimately he was very deliberate and I appreciate and respect that.
He was trying to be careful with wording and phrases
@@dbok definitely
Yeah and I farted. So ?
In Mueller's defense, I watched it live and, honestly, the speed and wording of many of the questions from Repubs definitely had me in the same boat... AKA, "ask again?"
Seemed a little planned to me!
@@heatherremlin8607 it almost sounds as if you know as many lawyers as I do.
Agreed, and especially when you have to think very carefully about your responses, as there were things Mueller legally can/can’t say, after facing hundreds of questions in a row I imagine it would get very hard to understand every question the first time.
The republicans didn't pose questions: they just used the opportunity to whine and yell, and generally act up for the audience of 1 they are playing for.
The Republicans are so terrified of trump and the deplorables who support trump, they do anything to appease him.
smoog and they wanna stay rich and in power
The ageist jokes are, as always, not funny. Asking to repeat the question is bout being careful. It's proper and shouldn't be held against a witness.
Fuck, I'm a little deaf and I'm not even 30 yet.
And asking me questions after several straight hours of grilling, with several more to go? Yea good luck with that xD
The dude's 74 years old and one of those guys was talking really fast so I don't quite blame Muller for needing questions repeated.
I agree 100%. I actually watched the whole thing and was quite impressed with the way he handled himself, and that he did not react inappropriately in the face of obvious inappropriate baiting re his character & career etc. I assumed whenever he took pause or asked for clarification or repeating of questions it was to not only be careful & sure of his response, but at times to [also] fill/take up time in the same manner certain Republican speakers wasted time with irrelevant orating, lines of questioning that were known beforehand to be outside the pervue of this hearing, and the stupidly blatant attempts of obfuscation.
Not once did I think "oh he's too old" etc, I found him honourable highly educated & respectful while being extremely well versed in this case considering the restrictions set out beforehand. He performed admirably, honestly & brilliantly. I have nothing but respect for Mueller who is undeniably a TRUE American Patriot.
@@silkcrenshaw I agree with you! Very well said truth Bravo!
Lol grandma you're too sensitive.
"My hearing isn't what it used to be... and neither is our system of checks and balances..." Gold, lol!
The congressman asking Muller questions several of the times Muller asked him to slow down was talking as fast as an auctioneer, what he was saying was inaudible! Those clips are taken out of context for sure... after 6 hours he asks a handful of times for them to repeat the question or say it slower... That seems normal....

Yes, McConnell is the power behind the useful idiot on the throne.
O'l Bobby Three-sticks also made it clear that Donnie was only not brought up on charges because he's a sitting Prez, and is chargeable the second he's out of office.
Now we just gotta get him out before the statute of limitations runs out.
Donny fishlips is going from the White house to the Big house, no matter what Vladdy no-shirts says about it.
Bobby Three-sticks vs. Donnie Tiny-stick
The dems can't impeach now, and if he's voted out, charges can be brought against him. If he IS re-elected, the Senate only needs a handful of seats to switch and the dems will control Congress. They'd probably start the proceedings immediately.
Just wait. He'll try and deny the results of the election.
I don't think a candidate can seek to run with an unfinished criminal investigation/impeachment encumbering their validity. Especially with a _primae facie_ case established on their conduct in office. Maybe there are rules which disqualify such a candidate, that would invalidate Trump from seeking a 2nd term? I don't know, seems worth verification.
When the cult45ists tell you Meller cleared trump, never forget this line; Ken Buck -"but with the facts we know, you could charge the president of the United States for obstruction of justice once he left office?" Mueller-"Yes"
We heard him only because Mueller was miked but in that room (I've been there) it is challenging to hear with all the ambient noises. Mueller had to be careful--especially with what seemed like a lot of double negative stuctured questions.

Actually it's the Dems that are attacking him. They are not happy with the results.
mac daddy they’re actually just trying to get him to explain the reality of trump’s crimes in unequivocal terms that most Americans can understand.
The attorney general wrongfully summarized the report as exoneration, which forced Muller to reluctantly make a statement and then eventually go to court and explain that his report certainly wasn’t an exoneration. This is what Democrats are up against. They have to constantly dispel overt lies, while Trump and his cronies crap out more lies at twice the rate.
Once conservatives stopped caring about when their leaders were lying or telling the truth, we were already deeply imperiled as a nation. And that’s because it left only half of us to deal with the world and its problems while the rest of you played the victim and threw fits like children.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Admit it. Republicans have NO integrity. Never has for decades. Republican Party is a corrupt mafia party that will do anything for power!!!
@@yoyoyodaboy excellent statement, all of us who are decent people concur.
Well, Bobby Three Sticks did help lie us into the unconstitutional and illegal Iraq war.... What "integrity?"
"Have you ever been fired, Mr. Mueller?"
"... You mean... in my _entire employment history?_ Of _course_ I have. Now can you state for the record what this has to do with the investigation?
I watched a lot of the near end of the session a second time. First time I thought Mueller seemed very tired and got confused a few times, but I didn't realize how long he was in session.
The only times Mueller hesitated to answer immediately was when he was presented with questions including at least one double negative. Politicians have a hard time forming a simple question - fitting, because they can never form a straight forward answer.

Perfect 👏👏👏😂

Jack Rheiner 😂😂 great sarcasm
I just worry someone is going to come and take that title away
@Jack Rheiner You are a regular comedian. Red states are in fact the welfare queens. If it weren't for blue states supporting you, you deplorables would have all died of starvation long ago.
@Jack Rheiner You serious or fox fried?
I couldn’t understand half of those Congressmen either. They were speaking too fast and just plain bullying Mueller.
Eu4 dharma
I wouldn't worry too hard. They showed how frantic they are, by their dreadful behaviour. Mueller is made of sterner stuff than to be intimidated by guttersnipes.
Reps be like you wrote this .. Is it true ?! Yes or no .? As it reads in the report Exactly so,( inserts own random interpretation) .. I yield... Then acts like mueller concluded something different when he actually said hey just reffer to the fuckibg text you cant mistake it . twist or turn it. Itl always say the same thing
It's the good old Bum's Rush...
Yep, the Mueller testimony was not exactly gripping TV, but the words "not exculpated" are now trending. #impeach!
I actually had to look that word up.
Mueller doesn’t have the power to “Not exculpated” as he is a prosecutor, his job is to find them guilty and charge them with a crime. So the “not exculpated” is just a political hoax to gain headlines across CNN etc
@@HeyHeyItsDavide He stated he cannot charge a sitting president so no that wasn't his job. His job was to investigate so crimes found could be turned over to Congress to pursue.
Marco Ialeggio ur an idiot
Why wont the Dems call out n debunk these bs conspiracies these a-holes are pedaling? That would be a nice start instead of letting it ride.
Bobby Three Sticks vs Donnie No Balls
I like your mafia moniker better than Donnie Fish Lips!
He's a marine vet and a LAWYER. Thank you Mueller.
He still stands with integrity at 74. Just look at the Marine Corps posture!
he was a hero
then democrats used him as a pawn because they are evil
Someone that survives first? Yes it does look that way.
@@garetclaborn You simply just don't wanna see the truth, which is: POTUS is corrupt AF. But Mueller is YOUR guy and BTW just go tell him is democrats' pawn, you'll get a warm welcome, sucker.
Thank you indeed... for successfully destroying 3 years of a Democrat witch hunt... in a mere 3 hours.
Robert Mueller is a true American. Wish that could be said same for Trump...
Trump seems to have committed treason
@@diegokiwi1854 Do you know how fast they would impeach him if he was guilty of anything? You just can't be this stupid. They are chomping at the bit to get him for something and they can't do it. It would happen in a heartbeat. Keep making shit up. I don't like Trump either but how you come to these ridiculous conclusions is unfathomable.
Wtf does true american mean? Just because he took part in the Vietnam genocide? Not that Trump is not a piece of shit in his own way! American exceptionalism is way behind the free world and getting worse, f trump!
@@dingledangle265 They can't do it as Mueller said, LOC memo prevents them. Damn, you people don't read or listen. No wonder Trump is POTUS.
The same can`t be said for the squad.

Is the rest of America as beautiful as you are? I doubt it. You have a pleasant, beautiful countenance. I am definitely subscribing to your channel. I wish I alone could subscribe to most of the time in your life.
Bravo Sir. Mr Robert Mueller. The last few years have taken a lot out of him. I hope that he can soon take some time out, he needs a break. #RESPECT
Yeah, leading 18 treasonous democrats in an failed attempted illegal coup is pretty tiring. Poor guy.
Bobby three sticks. ❤️

A new slogan should be chanted....LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

@@conanrbg6093 not gonna happen.
They confined him to only speak things in the report...and then asked questions about other things
Barr. told him what he couldn't do. Not the committee.
@@rutabagasteu and what would he? They asking things that are currently under investigation.
He didn't even know what was in his own report.
@@dingledangle265 he knew what was in his report. Though he was very persistent in making sure the the words of his report were the words that were taken. Did you even watch the hearing? I did.
@@dingledangle265 when you are asked questions under oath, all a hostile interrogator has to do is ask a question and MISQUOTE the report, if Mueller said yes to a misquoted question, then they would scream he lied under oath.
that's why he constantly had to ask what page to verify they were not trying to trick him into a lie.
can you remember the EXACT wording on a 400 page document you have drafted?
