A DailyMail.com headline said: “‘Disoriented’ Mueller’s stumbling responses to questions during blockbuster hearing leave social media concerned the special counsel seems a ‘confused old man’ but some think it is all a strategy to frustrate the committee members.”

A screenshot of the Drudge Report on Wednesday, July 24, 2019 reflects Robert Mueller’s “dazed and confused” testimony before Congress.

Democrats called former special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress Wednesday on his report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election with the hope of finding grounds to impeach President Trump.

What they got was halting and sometimes contradictory responses that indicated he was not familiar with his report.

Many Twitter users noted it became clear during the hearing that it was Mueller’s staff of mostly Hillary Clinton supporters that drove the investigation and the report.

“His reputation gave credibility to an attempted coup d’etat,” wrote Larry Edington. “He clearly does not have the mental capacity to have been the driving force behind this report.”

Mueller’s team found no evidence for Democratic claims the Trump 2016 campaign colluded with Russia and decided not to refer obstruction charges.

Fox News analyst Brit Hume wrote on Twitter: “Mueller is still struggling to answer questions even after questions are repeated and he’s had a chance to look up relevant portions of report.”

Grabien reported Mueller “frequently appeared confused during his much-anticipated Capitol Hill testimony.”

“Mueller, who is often celebrated in the media for laser-like thinking, had to ask lawmakers to regularly repeat their questions, seemingly struggling to pay attention,” the report said.

In just the first 90 minutes, Mueller “needed help understanding” the questions more than 10 times.

One time he asked Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., where he was reading from, and the lawmaker said, “My own question.” Mueller then asked, “Then can you repeat it?”

Grabien reported Mueller insisted Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, clarify her question three times.

Under questioning from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Mueller failed to follow a question that was merely 14 words long, Grabien noted: “Attorney No. 2 in the inspector general’s report and Strzok both worked on your team, didn’t they?”

Talk-radio radio host Rush Limbaugh took notice.

“He’s either uninformed or incapacitated somehow,” he said. “Mueller is not there. Mueller has never been there.”

He suggested Mueller was a “figurehead,” used by the Washington establishment to lend credibility to claims of collusion.

“This investigation has been run by staff,” he said. “He’s part of the silent coup effort to get rid of Trump.”

The Gateway Pundit commented, “Mueller looked like a confused, stuttering, agreeable, lost and nervous doddering old man.”   READ MORE
