When you understand the complexity of the million-page-plus Trump-Russia case file, and you understand that Mueller was like the CEO of the investigation (and that's why he brought his deputy to Congress), you know why Trump was livid and told the GOP not to let the deputy speak.
1/ One of the Republicans' goals yesterday was to make the Trump-Russia probe sound so simple that one would think Mueller had mastered every detail of it, and that if he didn't it meant he was incompetent. It was a false and bad-faith take, so thank god media went along with it.
2/ Early on, I noted Mueller bumbled a bit with the microphone and his binder, but he got stronger as the day went on and never felt his presentation was even 5% as important as the facts of the case, which he knew more than well enough and which were, themselves, beyond belief.
