Mueller in congressional testimony: 'Over the course of my career, I’ve seen a number of challenges to our democracy. The Russian government's effort to interfere in our election is among the most serious.'

Nadler kicked off the Judiciary hearing with his opening remarks addressed directly to Mueller, setting the tone for members of both parties who, throughout the day, would often begin their questions with a strongly worded statement that Mueller often had no interest validating.

Under questioning from Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., Mueller agreed that it was"correct" to say that Trump asked former White House Counsel Don McGahn to is misrepresent facts he knew to be accurate to defend the president. "The president's attitude towards the investigation was understandably negative," Collins said."The president knew he was innocent."

"I agree with the chairman this morning when he said Donald Trump is not above the law. He's not," Ratcliffe said."But he damn sure shouldn't be below the law, which is where volume 2 of this report puts him." Strzok and Page have become central characters in Republicans' alternative storyline of the Mueller probe, which they say grew out of an opposition research investigation funded by anti-Trump Republicans and the Democratic National Committee and conducted by a firm called Fusion GPS and its agent, former MI6 Christopher Steele. Mueller, however, said he was not"not familiar" with Fusion GPS and could not comment on the origins of his probe.

Seriously Of ALL the amazing moments that’s the one you chose Shows what FakeNews you are

Happened under Obama, if it even happened.

This country won't survive if it's the new normal.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Ummm, dude Hillary did the same.

It's sadly been this way for years. Whorver thought SPACs were a good idea wasn't a bright person. PACs and SPACs need to be abolished... They breed corruption. Corporations aren't people either! 2 really stipid ideas!

No. It’s only ok if you’re Republican.

TrumpIsAFelon TrumpColluded TrumpObstructed

If Fred Trump’s son and his loyal Republican’ts believe lying Donald is innocent why not let Mueller answer the question “if he wasn’t president would you have indicted Donald J Trump?”

I refuse to admit this 'new normal,' instead I see another civil war on the horizon.

I’m over this unending childish bs it literally changes nothing in anyone’s mind overit

Just keep spinning...just keep spinning...

all went on when Obama was president and he allowed them to interfere and meddled

Fakee, fakee!!

Yawn.

Than why didn’t Obummer do something about it in real time?

What a train wreck this is , Trump is so getting re elected

Russia Russia Russia... suggest the Obama approach or the Congressional Approach or the Trump Approach. Or the Mueller approach. What to do?

And equally serious, the refusal of Mitch & Republicans to do anything about it & Trump supporters who do not care. All because Russia help their guy.

When you guys quote him it sounds so upright and strong but he really sounds like ummm ehhh huh? Ummm what not in mahpervue lol! Mslsd sucks

Trump irritated -- not anxious -- ahead of Mueller testimonyHe's loomed -- mostly unseen -- over all but a few months of President Donald Trump's tenure. On Wednesday, former special counsel Robert Mueller moves from the wings to center stage, occupying a spotlight the President would prefer just fade. He has nothing to fear. No collusion no obstruction. This is going to blow up in the Dems faces, and I can’t wait!! Well if the toddler is irritated🙄 Let Mueller go in there and say things that are not in his report, that will only make him look like a LIAR and hurt Democrats. He has already concluded NO COLLUSION, if he changes that. the number one question will be: Why did he LIE?
