(3,582 posts)He got Mueller to admit that WikiLeaks is a hostile entity to the United States, then got a follow-up opinion from Mueller regarding Trump's praise for Wikileaks, saying something like to call that praise problematic is an understatement. That could resonate with the public at large.

(63,922 posts)they just want to pile up on Mueller. Again, this is for the American people to digest and realize that this POS squatting in the WH is a big fake. How can they stick up for this POS, who condemns women, is locking up children, assaults women, has ties with a pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, giving an okay to adversary that interfered with our election and of course may do it again.

On the one hand the Mueller sputtered a bit. On the other, he said Trump wasnt exonerated, could be charged after he left office, was generally untruthful in his answers, accused his team of lying, misleading and covering up, and called his love of WikiLeaks problematic
