When the Republicans on the committee lie about the Mueller report, the Democrats must respond.

These are open hearings and they can show the American people the Republicans are liars. The Republicans lied many times saying Mueller found no conspiracy. The Democrats should follow their lies by reading the parts of the Mueller report that proves they are lying to the American people.

They're not necessarily the best public speakers, nor the 'quickest thinkers on their feet' so to speak. We don't have the 'attack dogs' on that committee of the sort that the Pukes have put on it to rep their side.

After that numb skull yesterday opened the door to the Shame Motel they’ll all be going there. Next one will say, “I’m under no obligation to be truthful to Democrats”.

cooperation, whatever you want to call it.

Mueller didn't let him off the hook on Obstruction, but it appears the majority of people either don't care, or think trump is just protecting himself from political attacks as he continues to obstruct. It's been clear trump was obstructing form the moment he fired Comey, but enough people don't care and all the hearings in the world, aren't likely to change that.

Until we go after trump on other things -- racism, emoluments, incompetence, ignorance, etc. -- I think the issues in the Mueller Report are all but dead.

Personally, I'd rather we focus on the election. That's the ultimate battlefield to end this crap.
