1/ Did you miss the Mueller testimony this week? Here is a thread of key highlights from nearly six hours of testimony, which once again brought to light the corruption and criminality of @realDonaldTrump & his campaign, and the urgency to defend our elections from interference:

@realDonaldTrump .@RepAdamSchiff- "Your report tells another story as well. The story of the 2016 election is also a story about disloyalty to country- about greed, and about lies."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff .@RepSpeier- "Would you agree that it was not a hoax?" Mueller: "Absolutely- it was not a hoax... I think we have underplayed to a certain extent that aspect of our investigation that has & would have long term damage to the United States that we need to move quickly to address."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier .@RepAndreCarson- "Meeting with him wasn't enough. Sharing internal polling data wasn't enough. Mr. Manafort went to so far as to offer this Russian oligarch tied to Putin a private briefing on the campaign. Is that right sir?" Mueller: "Yes sir."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson .@HurdOnTheHill: "In your investigation did you think this was a single attempt by the Russians to get involved in our election or did you find evidence to suggest they will try to do this again?" Mueller: "It wasn't a single attempt- they are doing it as we sit here."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill .@RepSwalwell: "As a prosecutor you would agree that if a witness or suspect lies or obstructs or tampers with witnesses or destroys evidence during an investigation generally that conduct can be used to show a consciousness of guilt. Would you agree with that?" Mueller: "Yes."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell Mueller: "Over the course of my career I have seen a number of challenges to our democracy. The Russian government's effort to interfere in our election is among the most serious. As I said on May 29th, this deserves the attention of every American."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell .@RepJerryNadler: "The President has repeatedly claimed that your report found there was no obstruction and that it completely and totally exonerated him. But that is not what your report said, is it?" Mueller: "Correct, that is not what the report said."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler .@RepKenBuck: "Was there sufficient evidence to convict President Trump or anyone else with obstruction of justice?" Mueller: "The OLC opinion indicates that we cannot indict a sitting President- so one of the tools that a prosecutor would use is not there."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck .@RepCicilline: "An unsuccessful attempt to obstruct justice is still a crime, is that correct?" Mueller: "That is correct."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline .@RepTedLieu: "We have heard today that the President ordered former White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire you. The President ordered Don McGahn to then cover that up and create a false paper trail."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu .@RepRichmond: "So it's accurate to say that the President knew he was asking McGahn to deny facts that McGahn quote 'had repeatedly said were accurate' unquote, isn't that right?" Mueller: "Correct."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu @RepRichmond .@RepJayapal: "In your report you make a very serious conclusion about the evidence regarding the President's involvement with the Manafort criminal proceedings.... anyone else who did these things would be prosecuted for them, we must ensure that no one is above the law."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu @RepRichmond @RepJayapal .@RepSylviaGarcia: "If I had made a false statement to an investigator on your team, could I go to jail for up to five years?" Mueller: "Yes."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu @RepRichmond @RepJayapal @RepSylviaGarcia .@RepValDemings: "Lies by Trump campaign officials and administration officials impeded your investigation." Mueller: "I would generally agree with that."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu @RepRichmond @RepJayapal @RepSylviaGarcia @RepValDemings .@RepZoeLofgren: "...chairman met with Russian agents & repeatedly gave them internal data, polling & messaging in the battleground states. So while the Russians were buying ads & creating propaganda to influence the outcome of the election, they were armed with inside info..."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu @RepRichmond @RepJayapal @RepSylviaGarcia @RepValDemings @RepZoeLofgren .@RepAdamSchiff: "When your investigation looked into these matters, numerous Trump associates lied to your team, the grand jury, and to Congress?" Mueller: "A number of persons that we interviewed in our investigation it turns out did lie."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu @RepRichmond @RepJayapal @RepSylviaGarcia @RepValDemings @RepZoeLofgren .@RepAdamSchiff: "The facts you set out in your report and have elucidated here today tell a disturbing tale of a massive Russian intervention in our election, of a campaign so eager to win, so driven by greed that it was willing to accept the help of a hostile foreign power..."

@realDonaldTrump @RepAdamSchiff @RepSpeier @RepAndreCarson @HurdOnTheHill @RepSwalwell @RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @RepCicilline @RepTedLieu @RepRichmond @RepJayapal @RepSylviaGarcia @RepValDemings @RepZoeLofgren .@RepAdamSchiff: "The Russians massively intervened in 2016 and they are prepared to do so again in voting that is set to begin a mere 8 months from now. The President seems to welcome the help again... the centuries old experiment we call American democracy is worth cherishing."
