Trump has said the Mueller report “exonerates” him. Republicans are grilling Mueller by saying that he doesn’t have the power to “exonerate” him. — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller: "It is not a witch-hunt.” — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller clarifies that he was not saying he didn’t charge Trump with obstruction of justice because of the OLC opinion barring indictment of a sitting president. He was saying it precluded him from making a decision on whether Trump should be charged. — PolitiTweet.org

The hostile questioning by Republicans does not suggest they think Mueller “totally exonerated” President Trump as the president has claimed. — PolitiTweet.org

Sensenbrenner and Chabot are the two Republicans still on the House Judiciary Committee from the last presidential impeachment battle in 1998 (Clinton). Nadler, Lofgren and Jackson Lee are the last Democrats remaining from that era’s committee. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not clear Mueller actually needs to be there — Democrats are just reading his report and asking him to affirm that’s what it says and Republicans are uninterested in discussing the president’s conduct but instead just excoriating the investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Mueller makes clear he has no plans to discuss the origin of the FBI investigation before his appointment or the Steele dossier, despite GOP plans to grill him on those matters. — PolitiTweet.org
