Robert Mueller has had a long career in the US justice system and has now testified to Congress about his probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 US election.

Mr Trump, running for re-election in 2020, has blasted the Russia probe as a “witch hunt” and has repeatedly assailed the investigators including Mr Mueller.

“Seeing is believing in America. That report was voluminous. But most Americans didn’t read it. So they’ll see Mueller lay out the case,” said Representative Eric Swalwell, who sits on both the Judiciary and Intelligence panels.Former special counsel Robert Mueller arrives to testify on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

That is well short of the 218 votes needed to adopt articles of impeachment in the House, which would trigger a trial in the Senate on whether to remove Mr Trump.“We hope Mueller’s testimony will be a watershed,” said Democratic Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Judiciary panel member.The impeachment question has divided Democrats, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposing such a move as politically risky for moderate Democrats on whose future the House Democratic majority depends.

Some Democrats prefer to remove Mr Trump from office the ordinary way: defeating him in next year’s election.The former federal prosecutor and US Marine Corps officer is also known for favouring one-word answers at hearings and could prove too taciturn to satisfy Democrats’ hopes of a forceful narrative.“We’ll see what happens after that.”

. . . 2/ embarrassment, and will have imploded the commie Demorats by this time next yr. As for u, ur a lying disgrace; for for a whole 2yrs it was nothing but Russia-Trump-collusion-obstruction, most nights. I knew all along that he had nothing to do with any of that, for . . .

The clips u have on this here don't work, by design. I watched Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity interview their guests, as did u, and u know as well as everyone not in Australia - in a manner of speaking, that the Mueller performance was a complete f***up, a complete . . .

During which he revealed no new evidence, refused to answer almost 200 questions, ducked weaved and evaded, and generally came across like a frail old man who hadn't even read his own report. Utterly devastating for the Democrats. There will be no impeachment.
