After Mueller characterizes WikiLeaks as "a hostile intelligence service," he adds that the Trump campaign's praise of WikiLeaks was "problematic."
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 24, 2019
"Problematic is an understatement," Mueller adds.

Serious question: Has Mueller even heard of Mueller?

Three top-line takeaways from round one of Robert Mueller’s testimony: 1. Trump is not exonerated; 2. The evidence satisfies every element of the crime of obstructing justice; and 3. Trump can, therefore, be indicted for his crimes once he leaves office. #JusticeIsComing

Rep. Jerry Nadler: "So the report did not conclude that he did not commit obstruction of justice, is that correct?"
— The Hill (@thehill) July 24, 2019
Robert Mueller: "That is correct."
Nadler: "And what about total exoneration? Did you totally exonerate the President?"
Mueller: "No."#MuellerHearing pic.twitter.com/SjEN6nA4Vi
Robert Mueller is a honorable and patient public servant. He's also far, far too polite and deferential for a hearing like this. #MuellerHearing

“Quickly — my time is limited.”
This exchange between Mueller and a Republican rep makes clear it’s all about the show, not the answers.

Rep. John Ratcliffe asks if Mueller can cite an example besides Trump where the DOJ "determined that an investigated person was not exonerated because their innocence was not conclusively determined"

Mueller: I cannot, but this is a unique situation https://t.co/pjOwNhYtbJ pic.twitter.com/ekNGyhgV3O
Nadler: Did you actually totally exonerate the president?
— CBS News (@CBSNews) July 24, 2019
Mueller: No.
Nadler: In fact, your report expressly states that it does not exonerate the president.
Mueller: It does. #MuellerHearings https://t.co/pjOwNhYtbJ pic.twitter.com/IBKT0TgflP
Ja das muss wirklich ein Trump-Fan sein um so gemeldet aufzutreten.
Abgesehen davon habe ich den Eindruck die Republikaner möchten aus der Anhörung ein Tribunal machen.
