From The "Democrats Leave No "Good" Deed Unpunished File: Adam "Schifferbrains" Throws Robert Mueller Under The Bus For "Heartbreaking" Mental Decline
No kidding. So now what; is Schiff going to insist that Congress relitigate the whole "Trump Colluded With Russia" hoax because the conspirators to steal the 2016 election lacked adequate counsel? All that Schiff can accomplish by doing this is to undercut the entire investigation that the Democrats themselves instigated.

Adam Schiff Claims Robert Mueller Suffering 'Heartbreaking' Cognitive Decline
Kaelan Deese, Washington Examiner, Oct. 6, 2021

Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, opened up about Robert Mueller's 'heartbreaking' lack of acuity in a forthcoming book, which includes revelations about the special counsel appointed during the Trump-Russia probe. Mueller, now 76, was appointed special counsel in May 2017 after former President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Although Schiff writes that he pursued Mueller to deliver his July 2019 testimony, the reality was "heartbreaking" to Schiff when he struggled to answer basic questions. "Had I known how much he had changed, I would not have pursued his testimony with such vigor - in fact, I would not have pursued it at all," Schiff wrote in his upcoming book, according to CNN.

Schiff, a California Democrat who became a liberal champion during the first impeachment probe and an enemy to conservatives who parroted Trump's rebuff of a "Russia hoax," admitted that he instructed Democrats on the committee to simplify their questioning strategy after the first session to accommodate Mueller's cognitive inhibitions. "No questions calling for a narrative answer," Schiff told the committee, according to his book. "No multipart questions. If you think your question may be too long, it is. Cut it down."

The leading special counsel ultimately did not issue a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice, leaving it to then-Attorney General William Barr to decide. Mueller's team did not charge Trump or anyone on his campaign with conspiring with the Russian government during the 2016 election. Still, prosecutors said the campaign "expected it would benefit" from Russia's interference in the election. In his testimony, Mueller underscored, "The president was not exculpated." Trump touted Mueller's testimony as "horrible". "I don't thing anybody could have done a good performance, he had no material," the former president said on July 24, 2019.

The former president was impeached in the House on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress but was acquitted in the Senate on Feb. 5, 2020.

Some compression for space, some excision to avoid giving Schiff's book title clicks. Full original text at http://www.washingtonexaminer....ng-cognitive-decline

You can just about hear the questions asking themselves, can't you?

- If Mueller was beginning to have problems, then why wasn't Schiff aware of Mueller's cognitive decline earlier?

- If Mueller was having problems, then why wasn't he replaced before blowing years of time and millions of taxpayer dollars?

- If Mueller had suffered cognitive decline, then how seriously can anyone take not only the investigation but Mueller's insistence that Trump was not 'exculpated' despite Mueller's admission in an open (and televised) Congressional hearing that there was absolutely no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia?

- If Schiff found out about Mueller's putative mental decline in time to instruct his fellow Dems on the committee to keep their questions simple, why didn't he mention it at the time and demand some sort of 'do-over'? It's not like obstructionism would bother Schiff.

- Is this all just part of the recent flurry of adverse news stories about Trump intended to take pressure off of Biden and make it more difficult for Trump to run again in 2024?

It does explain why the Trump haters on his 'team' were allowed to run the 'investigation' unhindered. He was likely chosen for this very reason.

Wait, Dems now have concerns over officials with cognitive decline?
It might be worth their while taking a look at the President now before he does something they will regret.....oh wait

Let's not forget what that would do to the Dems' ability to find another sucker the next time they want to pimp someone who's at least notionally impartial to do their dirty work. Or, for that matter, to try again - Schiff's basically reinforcing the case that the whole effort was a pointless sham from the beginning.

I'm not gonna demand that you change your thread title, but... Wink

I take issue with the 'Good Deed' descriptor being used, as there was NO such thing associated with ANY part that seditious coup attempt by the left!

Oh, I'm sure they told Mueller this was Boy Scout quality stuff.
