Anti-Trump Harvard Law prof Laurence Tribe calls Mueller hearing ‘disaster’ that helped the president

Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe, a fierce critic of President Trump, said Wednesday that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's House Judiciary Committee hearing was a "disaster" that set back impeachment efforts.
“Much as I hate to say it, this morning’s hearing was a disaster," Tribe tweeted. "Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it. The effort to save democracy and the rule of law from this lawless president has been set back, not advanced."

  Hi GA,
  
  I would be terribly interested to read your explanation in detail as to how this was a win for the Democrats, where the non-political junkie general public is concerned.
  
  I deal with and talk to a great many "non-political junkies" and I can say the Mueller hearing wasn't on their radar, as in no-one even knew it was going on, nor did they care.
  
  In general, for ALL those who are not part of the "political junkie" crew, they don't trust Congress, they don't believe Congress, and the more Congress screams about Trump, the more they will trust & believe in Trump.
  
  Congress has had below a 10% approval rating for a loooong time.

  Randy, do you care about the laws that were broken, and the overall corruption and abuse of power that fabricated the Russian Collusion investigation in the first place?
  
  Do you care that a CIA director, FBI director, Head of the DOJ all colluded to create the impetus to try and destroy a candidate who was elected POTUS and those who supported him?
  
  Do you care about the information that has been exposed such as the Susan Rice E-mail which proved Obama’s Involvement With DOJ/FBI During “CollusionGate”?
  
  Do you care that it seems an entire body of senior people throughout D.C. worked to destroy the reputation and life of Donald Trump and all those around him, and set the process up to do so before he was ever sworn in as President?
  
  If you don't care to prosecute the corruption rife in the Obama administration that created the false Russian Collusion investigation, from a fabricated dossier, or pursue any of the other corruption that was the cause of it... why would you be bothered with some BS obstruction charges that came because of a BS investigation into a false accusation?

  Mueller did find at least 10 counts of obstruction. But he shouldn't have wasted all that time and money if he wasn't going to indict a sitting President. It seems different lawyers have different views on that.
  
  I don't think D's want to impeach, they don't have the votes. Yes, Fox tried to divert by talking about the four women of color in the House again. It's amazing how little the public in general knows about the Mueller report, it's been out for some time now. Is reading a lost art?

  Yes Jean, both parties should be concerned about election interference. Factually I don't know that they aren't--even with the latest McConnell headlines.
  
  But, and this has no basis other than my political cynicism, I can see the Republicans as less than enthusiastic about the issue for a couple of reasons; 1) the presented bills were Democrat sponsored and supported efforts--and the Republicans don't want the Dems to get any positive credit for anything in the run-up to the election, and, 2) would it be crazy to think that they might see future interference as beneficial to their party?

  Yes, Republicans don't want Democrats to get positive credit for anything. But they are all doing a bad thing by holding up all legislation that could be helpful in other areas. It would be nice to vote them all out of office....
  
  As far as the separation of parents and children at the border, that's squarely a Republican error, and Trump and Sessions reinterpreted the laws to be able to terrorize families so they wouldn't cross the border. There should have been a plan to track these children so they could be returned to their deported parents, some of them were infants. And they have been sneaky in moving these kids around and hiding them in different states.

  "I don't think D's want to impeach"
  
  Of course they want to impeach; they are practically slavering and frothing at the mouth to do so. And they claim that it is for the good of the country to do so. They even have the votes to impeach, although the Senate will not vote to remove Trump from office. (Impeachment does not include any punishment, just an "indictment" so to speak).
  
  But good for the country or not, it is not politically good for the Democratic party so they won't do it. The good of the party trumps the good/needs of the nation every time.

  Some Americans dislike a liar who tells them he's building the wall, when he's not. And he is still separating children and parents on the border. It's inhumane, and there should have been a system in place to reunite these families, but they didn't think that far ahead.. I don't care if they shut the border down, I said that in another thread, if that's what it takes until we get a decent border security plan.
  
  Not all of the D's want to impeach, Pelosi won't let them if she can stop it. It went badly for the R's when they did it to Bill Clinton, or at least for Newt Gingrich. But it is sad the good of parties trumps the needs of the nation. I think people are getting sick of it.
  
  Shouldn't Mitch McConnell stop not letting votes come to the floor no matter what the subject is? I never got paid for a job where I did nothing, nor did you. His wife is an heir of one of the richest shipping companies in China, and she was found trying to give business to them. And McConnell gets a lot of money for KY. Those two really need to go.

  You're right; they didn't. So we blame Trump for their failure.
  
  "I think people are getting sick of it. "
  
  I hope so. Trump was elected, IMO, because "we the people" are sick and tired of politicians that put themselves and their party ahead of the nation. They don't seem to have learned the lesson, though - it appears more and more likely it will need to be repeated. With a national referendum on term limits, or by simply voting them all out of office. And after the fiasco of Trump's election it just might be possible to do that, for "we the people" really are getting sick of the sewage pit known as Capital Hill.
  
  You're never going to stop foreign interests from attempting to affect our elections, any more than we'll stop trying to affect theirs. It's up to us to isolate what is true and what is false. We'd better get cracking on learning how to set aside our own personal prejudices and view the world as it is rather than what we'd like it to be or what we think it is.

  My answer will be short and not so sweet. I found it very sad. Mueller's performance was sad... The Dems should have left this man alone, and let him retire with dignity. The Dems got nothing of value out of the circus, just more media coverage that in the end has shown them as being very desperate. It just seems they can't pull it together and move forward with some form of attractive agenda. With this kind of bitter attitude and the far left pushing socialism, they should realize the path they are on is to nowhere.
  
  All and All there was nothing new gained from the hearing for either side. The only one that's life was changed by the hearing was Mueller's.

  They got proof from Mueller that there were many counts of collusion and obstruction. We just can't indict him right now. So when Trump keeps telling people, "No collusion, no obstruction" it's just another lie. His supporters don't care that he just makes things up as he goes along.
  
  I'm not saying the Dems are doing anything to be proud of right now. They always eat their own, and if the Presidential hopefuls don't get it together, Trump will win again.

  We certainly walked away with diddering opinions on the hearing? Did you hear Mueller correct his statement to Congressmen Lieu?
  
  "Now, before we go to questions, I want to add a correction to my testimony this morning," Mueller said Wednesday afternoon. “I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, ‘You didn't charge the president because of the OLC opinion.’”
  
  Mueller, who had agreed with Rep. Ted Lieu in the first hearing, said he now disagreed with that framing.
  
  “That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”
  
  One would think no crime was committed if the evidence had not been found to substantiate a crime? He could have meant no crime was found as of yet?
  
  I guess if the congressional committee continues an investigation, they may find something Mueller did not find? But I doubt it, I would think no stone wen unturned.

  Mueller specifically laid out evidence that there were at least 10 acts of obstruction of justice in the report and said that when he was interviewed the other day. I also read the report. You don't want to see or believe the truth. He just can't be indicted right now. Turn off Fox News.
  
  I don't believe collusion is a crime, but he is guilty of that too. A President isn't supposed to get "dirt" or take information from foreign countries, it opens him up to blackmail

  wildernessposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  Wonder why he said he could not find a crime, then? Perhaps none of those 10 acts of obstruction actually rose to the level of criminality? Perhaps he could not link Trump to them?
  
  Why would he report 10 criminal acts and then say he couldn't find any? Something seems amiss here.
  
  Yes, collusion is a crime, but Trump appears guilty of that about as much as guilty of criminal obstruction. As no collusion (with Trump) was found your unsupported opinion that there just had to be some somewhere doesn't mean much.

  Hold on a minute Jean. I know that in the world of legalese collusion must be addressed as conspiracy, but, whether called collusion or conspiracy the report did not find "proof" of either.
  
  Of course, if we just want to judge by our own opinions and prejudices then that is a different matter. Forget the courts and the rule of law, let's just judge by what we think.
  
  So in essence, and legally, there was no collusion/conspiracy found. You are going to have to accept that.

  This continued assault on Trump is practically insuring he gets elected even if the economy starts to tank next year... people were sick of D.C. and the sick and twisted people we have running the show in Congress before Trump, that's the biggest reason why there is a President Trump.

I posted a link to the Mueller hearing in regards to the 3 criteria question asked by Congressmen Jeffries. Mueller actually offered his view on the criteria. he had no respect for it. I suggest you read it.

  No, Mueller could not have indicted Trump.
  
  He is a sitting President, and Mueller's boss already said in public that it was not possible. Your own link explains why Mueller didn't pursue an indictment.
  
  "Mueller had decided at the outset of his report that he could not and would not charge the president with crimes, thanks to Justice Department guidance."

  "could have indicted Trump on they would have recommended it be considered by the DOJ for indictment after he leaves the office.". I am very aware Mueller could not indict a sitting president, never said he could? He certainly could report any crimes he may have committed to the DOJ. he then could be indicted after he leaves office in 5 years.
  
  Let me ask a question. If congress has a case against the president they can by law impeach him. Have missed something have they started an impeachment process? I mean would they not if they found actual indictable crimes?

  You said Mueller could indict Trump: "If there was anything under the sun they could have indicted Trump...".
  
  The House leaders can impeach Trump whenever they are ready. They have plenty of ammunition, but they are waiting for the right time.
  
  The Republican Senate would not convict. So there is no point in starting the impeachment process yet.
  
  But if we get a recession by the end of next year, Trump's approval will dive. The odds of an impeachment will go way up.
  
  In the meantime, Trump will make more racist statements and offend many more people.

  Not sure if you read my comment correctly?
  
  Here is my comment the one you just replyed, and seem to be claiming I do not have a grip on the fact that Mueller could not indict a sitting president.
  
  " If there was anything under the sun they could have indicted Trump on they would have recommended it be CONSIDERED by the DOJ for INDICTMENT AFTRE HE LEAVES OFFICE. " ONCE AGIAN I AM AWARE MUELLER COULD NOT INDICT THE PRESIDENT.
  
  Mueller certainly had a right to list in his report any and all evidence he found that would indicate Trump may have broken any form of law. As he did. His 10 concerns in regards to obstruction appear to have not been enough for the DOJ be concerned about. In my opinion, if congress felt there were any impeachable crimes they would start an impeachment process. I am not sure why you would think they will wait and proceed at some other time? This certainly would be a dereliction of duty.
  
  And yes my resource did explain Mueller could not and would not charge the president with crimes. I felt the article was very informative in regards to Mueller's line of thinking, and why he did not feel he could indict the president.

It was a disaster for Trump. Mueller testified Trump lied on numerous occasions and especially on the written answers he--his lawyers--bothered to answer. Mueller also agreed Trump committed at least 5 obstruction of justice infractions and also lied about his deals with Putin on the Moscow Tower Project.

If Obama had broken the law this many times, the Right would have stormed the Oval Office. Get real folks. The Russians don't care which party is in power. They only want to divide the country and you guys on the Right are falling for it.

  Randy, Trump has not committed any form of crime? Not sure why you would continue down this path? I think you need to listen in full to the Mueller hearing. There just were no crimes... Did you ever slow down and consider if congress while reading the Mueller report found Trump had crimes committed any form of a crime they would not at best start impeachment? You can be assured they went over the report with a fine-tooth comb. Just time to drop all this. Trump did not commit any form of an impeachable or indictable crime or he would have been on the hot seat. Now as I have been predicting, get ready for some real crimes... The Horowitz report is coming. Lots of proof to lots of crimes. It's all about common sense, and a sloppy trial.
  
  "“Now, before we go to questions, I want to add a correction to my testimony this morning," Mueller said Wednesday afternoon. “I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, ‘You didn't charge the president because of the OLC opinion.’”
  
  Mueller, who had agreed with Rep. Ted Lieu in the first hearing, said he now disagreed with that framing.
  
  “That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”

  GA Andersonposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  I am not trying to be obstinate PrettyPanther, but I think there might be a couple of reasons for that fog.
  
  1. Is "Did not determine" the same as "Made no determination"?
  
  In other words did Mueller truly make no determination because they couldn't be sure, or, because of the OLC? I think the fog around that 'determination' is why one side is honestly claiming no crime and the other is claiming obvious crime.
  
  2. "Corrupt intent" - That seems to be a biggie.
  
  Anti-Trumpers clearly see corrupt intent, even if for no other reason than Trump is Trump. Pro-Trumpers say since no crime of collusion, (yes, I know the "conspiracy" clarification), was found there can be no corrupt intent. How could there be if he had no crime to try to hide from investigation.
  
  Speaking to the "3 points" that make 5 of his efforts an obvious obstruction crime--I don't know that Mueller affirmed that in his testimony, I don't remember--it may be that all we have to help our opinions are the offerings of pundits. It doesn't matter if it is dozens of station-proffered pundits or 1000 prosecutors - it is still an opinion and not a finding.
  
  Until a true court or proceeding offers actual findings on these points, the real source of your fog is Vol. 2 of the Mueller report.
  
  As things stand, I can see possible, (I am not smart enough to say "probable"), validity for Sharlee's comments. Particularly with Mueller's most recent clarification.
  
  And just so you don't wonder about my 'fence sitting'; from what I read in the report, I could see about three of those ten instances possibly being obstruction crimes, but that is possibly - not certainly.

  Mueller was asked specifically about the criteria of several of the 10, Mueller answered yes to each of the 3 criteria when questioned by the particular congresspersons. Especially of which included Don McGann's interview by Mueller's team.
  
  He admitted Trump asked him to fire Mueller. He also said Trump ordered him to write an untrue statement to cover Trump's denial of the attempt. I mean Dam Gus, do you see why Trump is trying so hard to keep McGann from testifying?

  GA Andersonposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  I do see why Pres. Trump doesn't want McGann to testify. It was those "charges" that I found most likely amounting to obstruction. I missed Mueller's testimony as you indicated, but I am only surprised that he affirmed "corrupt intent," otherwise I agree.
  
  And there is where I have a bit of fog in my own decision-making process; does "corrupt intent" require a crime? I am already leaning to agreeing with the obstruction claims, and if the criteria were simply "intent" it would be a slam-dunk for me.
  
  But . . . the law clearly says corrupt intent, and I truly don't know if an intent can be corrupt if the 'intender' is not trying to hide a crime. I understand that is giving Pres. Trump a huge benefit of the doubt--he may have thought a crime of collusion, (yes, conspiracy), was a possible finding, and if so his intent was corrupt. But, what if, (again a huge benefit of the doubt), his intent was merely to end the investigation because he knew there was no crime? Then his intent would not be corrupt.
  
  I am giving you some honest non-partisan thoughts here bud. It would be much easier to stand on one side of the fence, or the other and stake a position, but there is just enough ambiguity to leave the door open for either possibility.
  
  As you can see, I am also in that "undulating fog" you spoke of.

  What is the Law regarding the President being investigated by his political opponents?
  
  Who decides what information is to be reserved for the benefit of the Nation's best interests, and what can be exposed for all to see and judge?
  
  In this "obstruction" is in the eye of the beholder, there is no clear cut obstruction in this scenario, we are talking Presidential/Executive privilege, the goal was to determine "collusion" supposedly, anything else is beyond the scope of the intended "investigation".
  
  As for the 2020 election... the Polls have his approval ratings at 45% if you take the average.
  
  But as was shown in the past election, these polls aren't capturing the voters that are coming out and voting accurately enough to be relied upon, and if the coming election is anything like the past election, things will be substantially better for Trump than polls suggest.
  
  I don't believe dragging on these investigations and hearings regarding Russian Conspiracy, or Obstruction are doing the Democrats any good at all, those not firmly in the Democrats camp are sick of it, or are ignoring it.
  
  Maybe I'm wrong, but at the end of the day the Democrats have to put someone up there that America really wants to be President, nothing else is going do for 2020... Trump's 45% is looking pretty solid.

  Here is Mueller's testimony on 3 criteria. This should work to clarify your opinion on how Mueller felt about the 3 criteria question. The resource link below the quote. It is clear he did not ascribe to the 3 criteria Congressman Jeffries spoke of. It was the media that jumped on the 3 criteria question. They just reported it out of context. Guess you picked it up on CNN? Talk about "bovine excretion"... Randy, you must do a bit of real research. I mean being nasty can only take you so far.
  
  Mueller Testamony - "During today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, Democratic Representative Hakeem Jeffries sought to demonstrate the disconnect by walking Mueller through the three-prong test.
  
  “Let me refer you to page 87 and 88 of volume 2 where you conclude the attempt to remove the special counsel would qualify as an obstructive act if it would naturally obstruct the investigation and any grand-jury proceedings that might flow from the inquiry. Correct?” Jeffries asked.
  
  “Yes,” Mueller said, confirming the obstructive act.
  
  “Your report found on page 89, volume 2, that substantial evidence indicates that by June 17, the president knew his conduct was under investigation by a federal prosecutor who would present any evidence of federal crimes to a grand jury. True?” Jeffries asked.
  
  “True,” Mueller said, confirming the nexus to an official proceeding.
  
  Jeffries then moved on to the third element, corrupt intent, and Mueller once again effectively affirmed the point:
  
  Jeffries: Is it fair to say the president viewed the special counsel’s investigation as adverse to his own interest?
  
  Mueller: I think that generally is true.
  
  Jeffries: The investigation found evidence, quote, “that the president knew that he should not have directed Don McGahn to fire the special counsel.” Correct?
  
  Mueller: Where do you have that quote?
  
  Jeffries: Page 90, volume 2. “There’s evidence that the president knew he should not have made those calls to McGahn,” closed quote.
  
  Mueller: I see that. Yes, that’s accurate.
  
  Mueller, seeing the trick, tried to cut it off. “Let me just say, if I might, I don’t subscribe necessarily to your—the way you analyzed that. I’m not saying it’s out of the ballpark, but I’m not supportive of that analytical charge,” he said.

  No, they did not lie in the report. The Attornies that wrote the report were very careful not to lie. They listed ten well thought out inuendos. Ten points that they well knew could never be considered or even proven in a court of law. It' all "he said she said crap". However, it was enough to stir up hysteria and well played in the media. I do not believe Trump committed any intentional crime, I very much believe none of the ten points could be argued in a court of law. The Cohen campaign violation by paying two women off was thrown out of court two weeks ago. We are down to nine.
  
  Trump will never be indicted on any of these points of contention. Once again another waiting game. And we sort of know the end results, now don't we? This above comment is just my opinion. As you feel Trump broke the law, I disagree, as you feel he will be indicted at some point, I don't. I do realize it's hard for you to see my point of view. It's equally hard for me to see yours.

Trumps opposition, a very large swath of the media, D.C. and quite a few billionaires, spent over two years trying to convince America that Trump was guilty of heinous crimes.
After which, his approval is still sitting at 45% and half the country still believes all this is political garbage not criminal.
And most likely, they never will convince half the country he is guilty of anything more than telling those in D.C. and the media exactly what 45% or more of the country thinks of them, and their lies and political agendas.
