Lofgren: First, the Russians wanted Trummp to win. Second, the Russians went on a sweeping campaign to help Trump win. The Trump campaign manager shared strategic information with the Russians. So while the Russians were interfering in our election, they were helped both by inside info that they obtained through hacking the DNC, and through inside info GIVEN to them by the Trump campaign chairman. MIC DROP.
Standing ovation for Zoe Lofgren.

Lofgren is digging in on Manafort sharing campaign data and strategy with Konstantin Klimnik. The information about who asked for the polling data to be shared is redacted and she takes the opportunity to reiterate that Congress should have the unredacted report Did only the gang of 8/intelligence members see the unredacted version? Im not sure even gang of 8 have seen it.

Ratcliffe wants Mueller to cite where in DOJ policy an unindicted person is not exonerated.
Mueller states that this is a unique situation and Ratcliffe cuts him off to grandstand.

Ah, so the Republicans are going with the age old "Posture and barely let the witness talk because it will be really bad for them."

Ratcliffe points out that the bedrock of our justice system is the presumption of innocence, which is a valid argument. But, as Mueller TRIED to tell him, this is a unique situation and Mueller had to create a clear picture of what he determined.

Ratcliff wants a gotcha by saying when do you not exonerate a person. Bob this was a unique situation.
Ratcliff blah blah blah, everyone is entitled to be presumed innocent. RM HUGE SIGH

Watch Ratcliffe's body language here. He wants to be on Fox bc he's not talking to Mueller, he's addressing the room.
Also we have our first "SOCIALIST" lob

Jackson-Lee: Do you have to investigate all of Trump's conduct to determine his motive? Mueller: no JL, basically: So everything Trump did in the last three years was rooted in corruption? Mueller: Yes

According to Natasha Bertrand, Ratcliffe is in consideration for Intelligence Director.
He's using this as a fucking audition for Trump.
