The Mueller hearings are about an hour old thus far and Robert Mueller and House Democrats are getting creamed.
Leading the way was Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) who absolutely demolished Mueller over his characterization of the non-decision by Robert Mueller in his report.
Presumed Innocent
Ratcliffe went after Mueller hard over the fact he tried to change the rules simply because it was Donald Trump.
He stated, “Can you give an example other than Donald Trump where the Justice Department determined an investigated person was not exonerated because their innocence was not conclusively determined?”
Mueller then stated, “I cannot, but this is a unique situation.”
At this point, Ratcliffe went off on Mueller, stating, “Okay, well you can’t–time is short, I got five minutes, let’s leave it at you can’t find it because–I’ll tell you why, it doesn’t exist.
“The special counsel’s job didn’t say you were to determine Trump’s innocence or to exonerate him.
“It’s not in documents, it’s not in the Office of Legal Counsel opinion, any justice manual…Respectfully it was not the special counsel’s job to conclusively determine Trump’s innocence.
“Because the bedrock principle of our justice system is a presumption of innocence—everyone is entitled to it, including a sitting president, and because of a presumption of innocence, a prosecutor never, ever needs to determine it. … You wrote 180 pages about decisions that weren’t reached, about potential crimes that weren’t charged or decided.”
Ratcliffe then crushed Mueller with the statement, “I agree with Chairman Nadler this morning when he said Donald Trump is not above the law.
“But he damn sure should not be below the law which is where Volume II of this report puts him.”
‘A Disaster’
At the first break of the hearing, Chris Wallace called the hearing an absolute “disaster” for the Democrats so far.
Mueller is coming off as ill-prepared, which is shocking concerning his reputation.
Another observation being brought up is that it is becoming painfully clear Mueller had very little to do with the actual investigation.
This would appear to be a staff-driven investigation… a staff that absolutely despised and was biased against Donald Trump.
Dems and the liberal media are trying to spin this as best they can but right now, Mueller and the Dems are in BIG trouble.
