GOP Rep. Meadows Threatens Fireworks at Mueller Hearing: He 'Better Be Prepared'

[DonViejo]

By Connor MannionJun 26th, 2019, 12:21 pm

Republican Rep. Mark Meadows vowed to fiercely cross-examine Special Counsel Robert Mueller during his upcoming testimony, seeming to threaten an explosive hearing by saying the special counsel “better come prepared.”

Meadows was appearing on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program Tuesday where he made the promise and accused Mueller of being cozy with Democratic congress members.

“Listen, it is not a good day for America but Bob Mueller better be prepared,” Meadows said “Because I can tell you, he will be cross-examined for the first time and the American people will start to see the flaws in his performance.”

Meadows is the chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and sits on the House Oversight Committee. He also accused Mueller of being friendly with Democrats because he got a “friendly subpoena.”

1. Meadows is a weak loon

as are the entire ironically-named 'freedom caucus'

[watoos]

29. I really don't like to correct spelling mistakes,

but it's Freedumb caucus.

[MuseRider]

38. Aren't they just a rebranding

of the Tea Baggers? Not Tea Party as they would like us to call them now that they know what they originally called themselves means but Tea Baggers like the bags they hung from everything thinking they were original and cute. Now it is the Freedom Caucus? Still Tea Baggers to me. It pisses them off greatly and gives a person cover when you go blank and respond by saying, "I thought that was what you called yourselves, ya know when you hung those bags off your hats and into your faces?"

I am normally a nice person, I can get down and argue but I normally do not go there with the really nasty stuff but this? Well, they deserve it and it is a way to pretend to be innocent while upsetting their day and we all know they have a real hard time dealing with someone who pretends to be innocent and calls them out.

[kentuck]

2. I hope they piss him off...

..and he tells all he knows.

[bdamomma]

3. I hope Mueller

has some choice words for this GOP Rep SOB. They (the repigs) are keeping this sick ass jerk in office, for destroying the US and they just want to smear Mueller.

[dlk]

4. Wishful Thinking and Pathetic Posturing on Meadows Part

Mueller has the facts and many years of experience on his side. No doubt, his reticence with testifying was the dread of publicly confronting hysterical Republicans. I don’t blame him.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Yep. Meadows is full of shit.

These are likely just empty threats aimed at trying to get Mueller to not show up. The guy is a complete moron, and if he pulls anything, he will make an ass of himself, just has he as done at all the other hearings. The Dems will call his bluff.

[True Blue American]

30. Meadows is just

Another blowhard like Jordan and Gaetz.

Cummings cut them down to size.

So far the Senate has passed the Humanitarian bill 81 to 7.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

5. Looking forward to it, Gymbo

[qazplm135]

6. I hope they are that stupid

might be the only thing that convinces Mueller to talk/expand on his earlier statement.

[stillcool]

8. ought to be a good show...

and telling as to see how much information comes out of an open hearing with the Republican Party on display.

[DrToast]

9. Bahaha....

I'll put my money on Mueller being prepared.

[CincyDem]

10. This should be good...

In this corner we have the decorated marine, Princeton grad with a law degree from the Univ of Virgina who served as DA at SDNY taking down crime families and the country's longest serving post-hoover FBI director responsible for a broad range post 9/11 investigations. A registered republican appointed by 4 different presidents (both R and D) to Senate confirmed positions who is so squeaky clean that even right wing smear campaign roll off without a trace.

An in this corner we have ... well ... the "gentleman" from North Carolina having served as a congressman for the 11th district...bringing with him his 6 years in the House along with an Associate's Degree from USF (formerly a BA by his own claim but downgraded after an investigation revealed he didn't graduate), owner of several ethics violations, not the least of which include harassing female office staff and all around toady for the current administration.

Yeah - one of them better come prepared.

[Goodheart]

26. Meadows is one of those people too stupid to know he's stupid.

[COLGATE4]

34. Meadows is living proof

of the Dunning-Krueger theory

[underpants]

27. THIS

A righteous tear down

[Brother Buzz]

11. Don't write checks your ass can't cash

Here's a pro tip from every lawyer (including Mueller): Don't ask questions you don't already know the answer to.

[AJT]

12. Mueller had better be prepared? Dude, you have no idea eho you're dealing with.

[Tech]

13. Meadows thinks speaking loud makes him manly

It makes me think he needs hearing aids. And the way the republicans faces turn red when they speak, maybe have medical care nearby.

And maybe threatening Mueller is not such a good idea.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. And this will the the main theme

for most of the Talking Heads in DC. You just can not fix Stupid.

[bigbrother05]

15. It will be idiots like Meadows that will open up Mueller, not the Dems

The Dems will go down the list in the report to get Mueller to confirm what he wrote. Not fiery, but necessary to inform the general public that can't be arsed to read the report.

The GOP will be posturing for campaign snippets and Mueller will hand them their asses. Don't think there are 15 working brain cells capable of logical thought in the entire "Freedumb Caucus".

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. I think it's Meadows whom should be afraid of Mueller

Mueller does not seem like somebody who suffers fools gladly.

[Achilleaze]

17. republican weeniehawk goes after decorated republican marine veteran

There is no honor among republicans.

[GusBob]

18. I disagree with the group think here

I heard an interview with someone who worked closely with RM and he pointed out
-RM does not like being in the limelight. It makes him uncomfortable
-RM does not want to take part in a political spectacle
-RM is not going to expand upon what's in the report in any way. He intended for the report to speak for itself

I think the Dems may try and pull some information out of him, and the R's will try and attack his information, but in the end he will just revert to "what's in the report" Its like pleading the 5th for him

[bigbrother05]

20. He won't get angry, but quoting chapter and verse to defend himself?

The subpoena was necessary to get him into the open. He won't come looking for redemption, but doubt he'll tolerate being smeared.

[GusBob]

23. Donald Trump has been falsely smearing him for how many months now

And his response has been stone cold silence. You are right he wont get angry, but I think he will avoid fireworks.

I believe he wont take the bait with the R's on the committee either, he will deflect their questions, comments, smears, attacks back to the report. In fact I think he will just ignore the pontificating attacks and address the questions only.

This guy Meadows is trying to intimidate him obviously

[Me.]

21. I Believe The Dems Want Him To Discuss The Report

and in that way people will become familiar with the report in general. AS for extra info, they will also be interviewing staff and associates.

[GusBob]

24. Yes good points. They want the reports juicy bits on TV

for the vast number of Americans who have not read it

[Me.]

19. Has Meadows Seen That Pic Of Mueller In Vietnam With His Gun

Am sure he can handle Meadows or any of them

[Brother Buzz]

37. The purported photo that circulated on the internet of Mueller in Vietnam with his gun....

was actually an Army private assigned to the 25th Infantry. Mueller was a Marine officer.



https://deadstate.org/stop-sharing-that-meme-of-robert-mueller-in-vietnamfbrefreshforce/

[Me.]

40. Good Catch

Still, the point of Hero Marine vs. Meadows & Gym Jordan stands

[ego_nation]

22. Mueller will drink Meadows' milkshake.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Is this the same thing MF45 was babbling about on Fox Biz News this morning? That

Mueller "terminated" the lover's emails about the probe.

[Irishxs]

28. Meadows didn't show for 9-11 hearings, remember?

Wish I was going to cross examine HIM.

[Claritie Pixie]

31. I'm sure Mueller is scared. NOT.

[Frustratedlady]

32. Oh, my! Aren't we brave when it comes to talking with Laura Ingraham of FOX?

One day soon, Meadows will come face to face with Mueller's eyes while he's irritated by stupidity and totally melt into an oily spot on the floor.

I rather doubt Mueller entertains idiocy kindly.

Can't wait! Pardon me while I get into a position of ROTFLMBO!

[watoos]

33. It is liars who need to worry what they say,

who need to keep their story straight. Mueller only has to tell the truth.

[VOX]

35. M.M.: "2012 is the time we are going to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya or wherever it is."

Teabagger Mark Meadows is the COMPLETE Trump toady, and an all-around horrible person. His list of political positions is on a par with Genghis Khan.Here are a select few:

-2018-present: Frequently conferrs with Trump about Mueller's probe.
-2017: Meadows voted against renewing the Violence Against Women Act, claiming it was based not on HIS personal feelings, but what his constituents in "God's Country" tell him to do.
-2016: Gave Trump a wish list of regulations to be repealed, and demanded cessation of federal funding to study climate change.
-2013: Opposed to the Affordable Care Act, stating that it should be replaced by private enterprise. Chief architect of the government shutdown over “Obamacare.”

[Aristus]

36. Jesus, dude! You don't step on Superman's cape!

Mueller's gonna hand this guy his own head...




As MAD magazine used to ask: Why Kill Yourself?

[OnDoutside]

43. Or maybe he won't.

[Nevilledog]

39. If Mueller exonerated Trump (their supposition) what are they gonna attack him on?

The stupid......it burns.

[Catherine Vincent]

41. Oh, I can't wait for this

No way republicans will treat Mueller as they did Cohen and the FBI agent.

[Peachhead22]

42. Bring. It. ON!

Mueller is going to eat this idiot's lunch if he questions Mueller integrity. And in the meantime might detail some of Trump's misdeeds in the course of defending himself.

[drray23]

44. They really think they can match their wits with that of Mueller ?

Prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
Matt Gaetz tried it with John Dean and he got buried into the ground.
