"The truth will have a hard time catching up." Yes it will, especially now that Mueller has been on the public hot-seat. Now the focus is on the bad public media readings of Mueller's physical status, and his physical reactions. Yes, he is elderly. However, he was also quite focused on the specific text of the report. Any person trying to respond to lengthy verbal questions will have difficulty finding the exact passage in an approximately 500 page text. Many of the questions from Congressional members were more of an opportunity for them to make a public stance for themselves, and have light shine on them rather than the actual report, nor really anything that Mueller said or did not say. The questions were often quite vague. Mueller was quite polite in trying to get them to stay focused on the exact text of the report, and the exact verbiage of the text. Review the hearing. This is not a personality based reality nor entertainment venue. They were primed for some sort of drama. Mueller did NOT want to play into that drama. Yes, his fatigue was pretty obvious, but wouldn't yours be too, especially at 74? Yes, Congress underplayed the dramatics. BUT, there is still the subtle innuendos by everyone to implicate Mueller as a Democrat. The man isn't even close to that political arena.



Here is his history from Wikipedia: A graduate of Princeton University and New York University, Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, receiving a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart. He subsequently attended the University of Virginia School of Law. Mueller is a registered Republican in Washington, D.C., and was appointed and reappointed to Senate-confirmed positions by presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.[5][6]



Now do note that the man is even a Republican. Who could even guess that fact, with the "framing" by the present administration, and the US media, left and right? The hearing at least was kept to a respectful tone, primarily by the Chairman Adam Schiff. Other members of Congress followed his tone.



The administration and supporters of deliberate distortion of relevant factual and reasonable public discourse and behavior were attempting to add another ring to the circus. I expect that the Chair. Schiff is the only one that had the power to slam a lot of the idiots.



Congressional hearings are NOT a side show, as much as some people are still trying to slant public reactions and mass behavior to that direction, there is a "THREAD" that revealed a semblance of order that is still left within the very shaky Congressional floor.



Mueller and Schiff are two men, and there are only a few that are still attempting to bring some order to the public court of public opinion. Mueller and Schiff were conducting themselves and directing others to stay the course back to a reasonable, and rational level of discourse.



Every member of Congress should be required to be tested on the Mueller Report, and they should have to sign notarized and witnessed documents that they have actually read the text. The public media needs to start publicly reading sections, verbatim from the text. They need to shake Mueller's hand, rather than attempting to ridicule any of his physical composure. He knew what he was facing. He knew how to read the real significance of his report. Members of Congress need to start reading it themselves. Highlight significant laws cited. Highlight significant witness statements. Then, quit the BS drama games, because they do NOT know how to perform an accurate psychic read of especially Mueller, nor probably even their own personalities.



The Media needs to save the drama for the real drama queens, because the Media is doing a pretty lousy job of hyping a lot of off-script and on-script lousy scenarios that they keep trying to create publicly.
