Rep @JoaquinCastrotx points out that Trump and Cohen lied about having business dealings in Russia during the campaign -- and Russia knew they were lying, which potentially made them vulnerable to Kremlin blackmail. pic.twitter.com/smgvb47b2r— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 24, 2019
The question Nunes just asked is literally one Hannity said they should ask.— Philip Bump (@pbump) July 24, 2019
Remember those times Trumpers have claimed @realDonaldTrump "fully cooperated" w/ the Mueller probe. Now Mueller is explaining how he tried to get Trump to agree to an interview, and Trump refused. And he notes Trump's answers to limited written questions weren't so useful.— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) July 24, 2019
Mueller says it is correct that his investigation turned up evidence of conspiracy.— Jonathan Allen (@jonallendc) July 24, 2019
This seems consequential. Mueller explains his team decided against subpoenaing Trump "because of the necessity of expediting" the probe: "The reason we didn't do the interview is because of the length of time it would take to resolve the issue attended to that."— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 24, 2019

Schiff’s five minutes and Mueller’s answers would have been enough for Republicans to impeach and convict any other president before sundown today.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) July 24, 2019
Chairman Schiff closes the hearing:
SCHIFF concludes the hearing with this: "Protecting the sanctity of our elections begins w/the recognition that accepting foreign help is disloyal to our country, unethical & wrong. We cannot control what the Russians do but we can decide what we do." pic.twitter.com/tzKJUx5iVi— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 24, 2019
As expected, the Republicans are spinning madly (and we mean it in every sense of the word):
In one example, they argue that Mueller proved "no collusion" by truncating Mueller's opening statement right before he explained that he wasn't saying "no collusion." https://t.co/if9wYwhsMG— Philip Bump (@pbump) July 24, 2019

Expect a lot more from the White (Supremacist) House and its dimwitted Putin puppet, as well as Fox "News" and the rest of the right- wing bullshit machine. Such decent, honest patriots!
