Mueller Breaks His Silence in Least Satisfying Way for Lawmakers; Trump Lawyer Attacks ‘Idiot’ Mueller
By Bloomberg. Robert Mueller maintained a disciplined silence for his entire 22-month investigation of Russian meddling and Donald Trump.
When he finally answered questions in public, the result was a halting and deeply unsatisfying event for lawmakers and the American public that may end up diluting the weight of his thorough 448-page report — and diminishing the reputation of the legendary lawman. . .
But rather than bring his sweeping investigation to life, as Democrats hoped, Mueller didn’t play the part he was cast. During more than five hours of public testimony, Mueller spoke softly, declined to read directly from his report and refused to elaborate in response to questions.
Mueller’s approach to the hearings contrasted starkly with the fast-paced, social-media savvy questions and posturing from lawmakers, at times creating awkward or boring moments.
The expectations Mueller was facing for this event may have simply been too high. Through his long silence, the former special counsel had become a mysterious and revered figure and, perhaps, the one person whose words could lead to Trump’s impeachment.

Giuliani Attacks ‘Idiot’ Mueller
By Mediaite. Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was firing on all cylinders Wednesday morning when he tore into Special Counsel Robert Mueller (“idiot”) and Democrats (“idiots”) in a wild appearance on Fox & Friends.
Giuliani was on to talk about Mueller’s testimony on Capitol Hill, regarding President Donald Trump’s possible obstruction of the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. As they started off by talking about Trump’s rage-tweets against Mueller, Giuliani wasted no time tearing into the special counsel’s “witch hunt, which is falling apart.” . . .
Rudy Giuliani is on Fox & Friends trashing Mueller: "He showed up once. Kinda made an idiot of himself. Didn't know … stuff. I was shocked. I called John Dowd later. I said, 'I remember this guy 20, 30 years ago. What happened to him?'" pic.twitter.com/upTVAdO53B

“He doesn’t pay much attention to it, he was the Wizard of Oz, he’s behind a curtain. From then on, it was ‘We’ll take it to Bob, we’ll ask Bob.’ After a while, I would say ‘don’t bother.’ I mean, you guys are deciding, don’t bullsh*t, don’t tell me.”
