I'm feeling really sad about Bob Mueller today. For whatever reason I feel protective of him. I do, too. He's served his country pretty much his entire life, and done so honorably. He's almost 75; he should be allowed to retire peacefully and not have his character dragged through the mud by a political party that is insistent on defending a racist rapist traitor because it allows them to pursue their anti-everyone-except-white-men agenda.

Yes. Yes. And not only that, he looked and sounded seriously freaked out during the HPSCI hearing yesterday. It's obvious from the...you know...everything about the guy that this is a man who deeply loves and cares about this nation. And he's trying to get us to care that our actual democracy is under threat. And we're not caring.

And I told him I feel bad that a man who has served this country with distinction, who I believe clearly puts his country over party has to get to the end of his career with an entire bank of politicians ripping his reputation to shreds for no reason other than they are scared the president is going to make fun of them.

Also Raskin had to give a lesson in the middle of this hearing about the circular arguing that was going on.
Shouty later 'yields to the professor who gave a lesson' which was kinda funny

jkjacq Yes. I am so annoyed that in the need to fill up the twenty-four hour news cycle, the script has focused not on what he actually said, but how he said it. He confirmed that Russia is a threat we're not focusing on nearly enough and people would rather talk about the bags under his eyes. The WaPo article about 6 takeaways
has #1 - Mueller Struggled #2 Dems didnt make much progress etc etc
You know what should have been #1? RUSSIA IS STILL FUCKING WITH OUR ELECTORAL PROCESS.
Everything else aside, 45s tweets, antics etc. Russia is still clawing its way into the american way of life
#wapo needs to do BETTER.

I'm cackling.
Also one of the liberal idaho pages calls him Angry Gnome and it makes me laugh every time.
I also need to call his office and remind him he doesnt work for the president and bills should be voted on regardless of the presidents tender little feelers

I'm learning more about this guy and not to get all Blinds on you, but his girlfriend is 31. And he's still married to his wife even though they are separated. How messy.

I could read and find out but I dont have the mental bandwidth. He is a rapper. He was arrested for assault though he is claiming self defense. Videos seem to support both possibilities. There is some chatter of racism (not surprising or entirely unlikely). Kanye apparently talked to the president about it, so he of course tweeted. Fin

Rep Nadler is holding a presser at the moment re SpecCon testimony.
Hes dismissing the optics of the hearing and focusing on content.
