49. There's no denying that as feeble and guarded as Mueller appeared yesterday, he delivered the goods

Dems got what they wanted - to let the American public hear from the horse's mouth that the guy we have in the WH is a crook. The repugs coming at Mueller like a pack of hyenas in a concerted attempt to discredit him and change the narrative from the resounding message of obstruction by bringing up Christopher Steele, dossier, Hillary, etc. did not work. The same tactics which they tried with Hillary, with Michael Cohen, when LowBarr was testifying..is clearly the same game plan - speak fast and yell loudly to intimidate the witness, discredit him by bringing up distractions, and make him out to be the bad guy coming after 45.

I'm glad to see some of the headlines spoke the truth. Dems need to deliver a relentless campaign against 45 and paint the GOP as enabling a dangerously crooked, fascist president planted there by the foreign actors. This is the only way we can get rid of him next year. Beginning impeachment process to mark 45 for the loathsome fraud that he is would help tremendously.
