Showing Original Post only (View all)Mueller Was Not Up to the Task -- Not Close [View all]
For those of you who think Mueller did a fine job, from the Washington Post:
The WashPost's Matt Zapotosky and Rachael Bade report:
"After Muellers halting, sometimes confused testimony, ... some lawmakers are privately wondering ... whether they were right to force him to testify."
"During a break, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) ... warned lawmakers on the second panel to slow down, shorten their questions and speak louder so Mueller could follow better."
Some told the Post they had no choice. "We didnt invite Robert De Niro to testify. We invited Robert Mueller, and he is a straight shooter who stuck to the report," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), referring to "Saturday Night Live" portrayal of Mueller.
Another House Democrat said: "It was a painful reminder that age catches up to all of us."
