Mueller stated before he testified that he was going to stick to the contents of the report, and he did just that.
The House Democratic leadership is apparently afraid of their own shadow, so I guess they thought Mueller's testimony would convince people that didn't read the report that impeachment is necessary. But they didn't need Mueller's testimony for that, all the key findings are already in the report. They're waiting for the winds to change or something, but they need to stop worrying about the wind, and be the wind. The GOP would not have hesitated to impeach Obama if there was credible evidence that he committed even one count of obstruction of justice, even if they knew they couldn't convict him the Senate.
This.
It was a disaster in that it was all of the Sturm and none of the Drang, so it just comes off as theater.
I wish they'd get on with impeachment hearings and burn what little political capital they have left before the primaries...
