Mueller Says He Is ‘Not Familiar’ With Fusion GPS, The Firm Behind The Steele Dossier

Twitter Reacts To Mueller Claim He's 'Not Familiar' with Fusion GPS

[PJMedia] You'd have to be living under a rock to not know what Fusion GPS is. But, if you're Robert Mueller, who ran a two-year $25 million investigation into Russian collusion, apparently you have no idea.

Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH): "When you talk about the firm that produced the Steele [dossier], the name of the firm that produced that was Fusion GPS. Is that correct?"

Robert Mueller: "I'm not familiar ... with that"

Robert Mueller says he didn’t clear ‘problematic’ Trump in stuttering hearings that fail to deliver knockout punch

[NYDAILYNEWS] A stone-faced Robert Mueller testified before Congress on Wednesday that President Trump could very well be criminally prosecuted once he’s out of office and slammed the president’s “problematic” cheerleading of Russian interference in American elections.

In six hours of stilted and at times stuttering testimony before two House committees, the square-jawed former special counsel recounted that his team of investigators unearthed plenty of evidence that the president tried to obstruct his 22-month probe of Russia’s pro-Trump meddling in the 2016 election.

“The president was not exculpated,” Mueller declared near the start of his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.

Asked if he had exonerated Trump as the president has repeatedly claimed, Mueller bluntly replied: “No.”

Mueller also offered the shocking suggestion that Trump could be indicted for obstruction of justice when he’s no longer president. “Yes,” he said, adding it would be up to future federal prosecutors to decide.

#9  He's probably got enough money he doesn't need to worry about ever working again. Too bad he won't get to enjoy it since he's going to have to pretend he's lost it.

#7  I'm going with 3. Not only does the dodering old man provide cover for slow answers (run out the clock) but it provides a nice I don't remember option which is better than pleading the fifth. Also it makes anyone that pushes the issue look bad for attacking Grampa despite the damage Grampa willing did for three years.

Seemed to respond quicker when the Dems where asking questions, that's all I know.

#6  Remember, they rehearsed that show yesterday. If they thought it was going to be a debacle, they would have called it off.

A reasonable hypothesis, but I wonder... Mueller is about 75. Maybe they rehearsed so hard because this is really important dammit and we have to get it right, and just wore him out. The bits I saw of the hearing cast doubt on the whole sorry mess.

#4  Numbers 1, 2 & 3, all quite plausible.

"Yes, the CIA set up the leads and documents for us, but all we managed to do was trim off a couple of guys at the edge?"

We continue to hear nothing from Brennan, Clapper, Comey, or Obama.

#3  Smokescreen - he's building a case for insanity by reason of dementia for when they actually start to investigate the attempted coup against the elected government.

#2  Wait. You thought he was going to get up there and say "Yes, the CIA set up the leads and documents for us, but all we managed to do was trim off a couple of guys at the edge?"
Remember, they rehearsed that show yesterday. If they thought it was going to be a debacle, they would have called it off.

#1  The smartest thing a man can do some times is to play stupid. Why should he say Yes??? Works for Hillary and Bill "I do not know that woman" or "I have never been to that island". Truth. What is the meaning of truth, right?

Leave the heavy lifting of the burden of the proof to your enemies. Capisce??
