Mr. Mueller seems somewhat unsteady, even nervous, which I wasn't expecting.
Republican opener Doug Collins landed a blow, which I'm sure will color all Trump and Republican (and Fox & Friends) commentary: He asked Mueller if collusion and conspiracy are synonymous. Mueller said no. Collins then read a statement from the report saying they are largely synonymous. After some stuttering responses and seeming confusion on Mueller's part, he's forced to say he stands with the report.
The next Republican, John Ratcliffe, attacks aggressively, telling him he didn't perform his job, while constantly using the word "respectfully". I wonder how long Mueller will stay in his seeming submissive posture with that kind of questioning.
The third Republican, James Sensenbrenner, repeats Ratcliffe's claim that he didn't perform his job. What they're talking about is that the charge to the special counsel is that he is expected to write a report with a conclusion regarding prosecution or declination to prosecute.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
