#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??

#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.

#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.

#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.

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.

#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.

#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.
