"Was the point of this hearing to get Mr. Mueller to recommend impeachment?" Johnson asked Nadler.



“That is not a fair point of inquiry,” Nadler said.

The moment happened after Nadler said that with Mueller's “indulgence,” that he would extend the hearing by roughly 15 minutes to allow all Democrats on the committee to question Mueller.

At the time the last Republican, Johnson, wrapped his closing arguments, five members had not yet questioned Mueller.
