Resistance Hero Whines, Says Impeachment Is Done After Mueller Testimony 'Disaster'

Resistance hero Lawrence Tribe is devastated after the hearing of Special Counsel Robert Mueller as it did not give him what he wanted.

As many Democrats did, Tribe, an MSNBC contributor, believed that Mueller’s testimony would be a step towards the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

“Much as I hate to say it, this morning’s hearing was a disaster. Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it.

“The effort to save democracy and the rule of law from this lawless president has been set back, not advanced,” he said.

Mueller was shredded by Rep. Louie Gohmert, crushed by Rep. Jim Jordan and then Rep. Matt Gaetz got in on the act.

And then Fox News resident anti-President Donald Trump host Chris Wallace admitted that Mueller and the Democrats got annihilated.

“I had to laugh a little bit when you talked about the testimony by Robert Mueller because testimony has to be put in quotes,” he said.

“It really hasn’t been much testimony. Frankly, I think you both have been very kind. This has been a disaster for the Democrats and I think it’s been a disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller.

“He has seemed very uncertain with his brief. He doesn’t know — seem to know things that are in the report.

“He has been attacked a number of times and you would think that almost anybody else would have defended his own integrity and the integrity of the investigation and over and over.

“Mueller just sits silent and allows the attacks from the Republicans to sweep over him and says nothing.

“I think it does raise questions about the degree to which he actually was in charge and in control of this report because he doesn’t seem very much in control or charge of what the final report was.

“I shouldn’t say whether he was in charge of the investigation. He doesn’t seem in charge of what the report actually says.

“The two strongest parts I think were the opening questions by the chairman Jerry Nadler who basically said the president says he was exonerated. Was he? No.

“Did you find that he committed no obstruction? No. Basically taking the negative and saying the president says he was cleared, was he cleared and says no.

“I agree with the you the strongest by far was John Ratcliffe, Republican congressman on the committee who basically said your big grand conclusion when it comes to obstruction is you can’t exonerate him.

“When did that become a legal principle that a prosecutor can’t exonerate anybody? You’re innocent until proven guilty. You either prove him guilty or shut up. You make a point you didn’t exonerate.”

Mueller got batted around by Republicans for his entire first hearing and when Wallace says it you know it was not a win for Democrats.
