A headline following former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's appearance before two House committees said: "Democrats struggle to figure next move against Trump after Mueller Hearing falls flat."
Democrats thought they could spin Mueller's statement before the House Judiciary Committee following a question from Rep. Ted Lieu, who said, "The reason that you did not indict the president is because of the OLC opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?".
Think of it this way: if you put the names of 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans into a hat, what are the odds only the names of Democrats would be drawn?
Federal Election Commission records examined by CNN analysts found one of the Mueller attorneys contributed more than $56,000 to Democrats before the 2016 election and two lawyers contributed the maximum of $2,700 to Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Mueller wants us to believe they conducted their investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia without political bias.
"The most notable aspect of the Mueller report," she wrote, "Was always what it omitted: the origins of this mess. Christopher Steele's dossier was central to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's probe, the basis of many of the claims of conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Yet the Mueller authors studiously wrote around the dossier, mentioning it only in perfunctory terms. The report ignored Mr. Steele's paymaster, Fusion GPS, and its own ties to Russians. It also ignored Fusion's paymaster, the Clinton campaign, and the ugly politics behind the dossier hit job."
Mueller said an estimated 200 times this and other related matters were "Out of my purview," when they should have been central to it.
