đšđšDan Coats Expected to Step Down as Director of National Intelligence. #Coats is the last adult in Trump WH. As DNI heâs been focused on #Russiaâs threat to US national security. A threat Trump & GOP refuse to address, seeing it as a path to re-election nytimes.com/2019/07/28/us/âŠ
đšIt's official. DNI Dan Coats is out. And his replacement is this guy. Texas Republican John Ratcliffe auditioned for the part during the #MuellerHearing. Ratcliffe accused Mueller of violating the law. He's a promoter of "deep state" propaganda & appeared on Foxnews this am. 
In case it hasn't been painfully obvious, FoxNews can't run a country. Forcing DNI Coats out just as he put in place a structure to focus on election security is terrifying. Ratcliffe's already shown in his attacks on Mueller he's more interested in protecting Trump than the US.

Enough wasting time. Mueller made it clear it is now up to Congress to act! Nancy either needs to act or get out of the way. #MuellerHearing

âAn unsuccessful attempt to obstruct justice is still a crime, is that correct?â
MUELLER: âThat is correct.â

Precious to his KO he cited important note former AG Reno made about the dangers of Special Counsel.

One of most important moments in #MuellerHearing.đ
Rep. Lesko (R-AZ) then tried to get Mueller to walk back his response to @tedlieu, and Mueller declined. Lesko even asked Mueller to reconfirm his joint statement with Barr (which would have helped Lesko). Mueller declined.

On CNN, @PreetBharara just called this exchange with @tedlieu a âbombshell.â
In his opening remarks before House Intel Committee, Mueller just very explicitly corrected his response to Lieu. Goes back to what the report originally said about decision calculus.
Demokraternas fokus i #MuellerHearing Àr extremt tydligt. Fokus pÄ förhindrande av rÀttvisa.
Flera har rÀknat upp de "tre elementen" för ett sÄdant brott:
"an obstructive act, a nexus between the act and an official proceeding and corrupt intent" och frÄgat Mueller >
Flera har rÀknat upp de "tre elementen" för ett sÄdant brott:

och frÄgat Mueller element för element om han fann bevis för det. Mueller har svarat ja pÄ de flesta av de frÄgorna, men ÀndÄ gjort det tydligt att han inte kan stÀlla upp pÄ beskrivningen att Trump ska anses ha begÄtt förhindrande av rÀttvisa.
Det kÀnns som att Mueller kÀnner sig fastfjÀttrad vid alla regler han behöver ta hÀnsyn till. VittnesmÄlet blir dÀrmed vÀldigt torrt. Minst sagt.
So to recap: the only reason Donald Trump has not been charged with a crime is they he is the sitting President. Here it is clear as day. Donald Trump must be impeached so that he can be held accountable for his crimes. #MuellerHearing #impeachment
Rep. Lieu: "The reason again that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of the OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting President, correct?"
Mueller: "That is correct."
#MuellerHearing
Mueller: "That is correct."
#MuellerHearing
Congressman: "Could you charge the President with a crime after he left office?"
Mueller: "Yes."
#MuellerHearing
Mueller: "Yes."
#MuellerHearing
Lite dramatik nÀr republikanerna till slut stÀller tusendollarsfrÄgan om nÀr Mueller egentligen kom fram till slutsatsen att det inte funnits nÄgon konspiration mellan Trump-kampanjen och Ryssland.
Mueller: "NÀr man utreder ett fall fÄr man pusselbitar under tidens gÄng /../ sÄ, jag kan inte sÀga specifikt nÀr vi kom fram till resultatet."

Mueller stammar sedan en del, och det lÄter som att hans kollega försöker svara i hans stÀlle, men Andy Biggs (R), avbryter honom och försöker fÄ Mueller att svara.
The hysterical, screaming Republicans â Gohmert, Jordan, Gaetz â are very well aware that questions re Steele are beyond Mueller's purview since their fellow Trump lackey Bill Barr is investigating the origins of the Russia probe but they keep harping on Steele for Trump.
.@DevinNunes, who is currently suing a cow, opens with: "Welcome everyone to the last gasp of the Russia collusion conspiracy theory" and then resorts to spewing Trump's favorite â and completely false âconspiracy theories.
#MuellerHearing
#MuellerHearing
Wow. The Trump Fraud Sqaud â Gohmert, Jordan, Gaetz, Ratcliffe, and now Nunes â are going full on Ride or Die on the Mifsud conspiracy theory, which originated from now-convicted felon and former Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos.

Russia interfered in our 2016 election. The Trump campaign welcomed that help. Trump repeatedly tried to dismantle the investigation into this hostile foreign governmentâs interference through a pattern of bullying, deceit and obstruction. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw #MuellerHearing
The #Mueller Report resulted in 37 criminal indictments and 7 guilty pleas. The Report revealed 10 instances where the President obstructed justice and he also repeatedly instructed people to lie to investigators for him. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw #MuellerHearing
The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in âsweeping and systematic fashionââthrough a social media campaign, and releasing hacked documentsâin an effort to secure the outcome of a Trump presidency and harm Hillary Clintonâs candidacy. #MuellerHearing

#Mueller's already dealt fatal blows to Trump & GOP propagandists. He said 1) he didnât indict b/c of OLC memo, 2) "no collusion no obstruction, total exoneration" is false, & 3) he won't address "origins" of the probe or Steele dossier b/c theyâre under review. #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary đ€ŻđA Republican Sensenbrenner actually asked #Mueller this question: If you knew from the outset that your office wasn't going to indict the president (b/c OLC guideline prevented it), why even investigate him?
#MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing
#MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary #Mueller is calm but not exactly poker-faced. He just gave a disgusted sneer at crazy Louis Gohmert shouting that Trump "wasn't obstructing justice, he was pursuing justice because he's INNOCENT"! Even the gallery laughed. #MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing

Nadler: is it correct that if you concluded POTUS committed the crime of obstruction, he could not publicly state that in his report or here today?
Mueller; The stmt would be that you would not indict because under OLC, a sitting president can't be indicted.

Is there a DOJ policy/principle which sets forth that an investigated person is not exonerated if evidence for criminal conduct is not conclusively determined? Republican Rep John Ratcliffe asks Mueller
Mueller says he can't point to a specific instance where this has happened before, begins by saying it's a unique situation, but Rep Ratcliffe interrupts him before he can fully answer.
"It was not the SPC job to conclusively determine Trump's innocence," Ratcliffe continues.

Rep. Nadler: '[Mueller] conducted his investigation with remarkable integrity...even when you were subjected to repeated and grossly unfair personal attacks. Your indictments spoke for you in astonishing detail.'
Rep. Nadler: 'In your report, you offer the country accountability as well.' #MuellerHearing
Rep. Nadler: 'Any other person who acted in this way would've been charged with crimes...we have a responsibility to address the evidence you've uncovered' #MuellerHearing
Good morning.
The #MuellerHearing begins at 8:30AM ET. First, he will testify before members of the House Judiciary Committee on Vol. II of his report which focuses on obstruction of justice allegations. Then, expected to begin around noon, the House Intel Committee takes over.

Thatâs when Mueller will answer questions about Vol. 1 which focuses on hacking + Russia disinformation campaign.

BREAKING: @maddow is reporting that Mueller's OSC Deputy Counsel Aaron Zebley will be sworn in with RM tomorrow during the second hearing with Intel, and will also be answering questions. With Judiciary he won't be talking. #MuellerHearing #TuesdayThoughts
2-OMG, Rachel's got Rosenberg AND Katyal.. fantastic. This should be good!
3-Katyal just said that Barr said after the rpt was rel that RM 'could have' said whether or not Trump committed obstruction. So the debate now becomes whether Mueller WILL answer that ? based upon Barr's changing the understanding of the OLC memo thru his remarks. huh...
đ„@Comey: The Russia investigation began in July 2016 when the FBI learned (from ambassador who talked w/ Papadopoulos) that âRussians had dirt and were looking for ways to coordinate the use of it with the Trump campaign.â #MuellerReport #MuellerHearing #TrumpRussia
@Comey @NicolleDWallace đ„@Comey: The most important finding of #MuellerReport is the long series of contacts between Trump campaign associates & Russians. 2 are particularly troubling: (1) His foreign policy adviser (Flynn) talking w/ someone representing the Russians about weaponizing dirtâemails, âŠ
