House Democrats’ official campaign arm spread misinformation in a fundraising blast about former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony Wednesday.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) falsely claimed that Mueller testified that he would charge President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice if he weren’t president.
During his morning testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Mueller appeared to agree with Democratic California Rep. Ted Lieu, who asserted that Mueller’s office didn’t charge Trump with obstruction because of Department of Justice policies against indicting sitting presidents.
But Mueller corrected the record when he began his afternoon testimony in front of the House Intelligence Committee — well before the DCCC’s misleading email blast.

“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 said in his correction.
“That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report, and as I said in the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”
The DCCC, which has a track record of using misinformation in fundraising emails, did not return an email seeking comment on its misleading fundraising pitch.

Mueller repeatedly struggled to answer questions in his testimony, which has widely been panned as underwhelming.

The Dempcraps are saying what their sheep want to hear. This is the his real answer

If they didn’t have fake news, they would have none.
Has anyone else noticed that AOC and Nancy Pelosi have those same CRAZY EYES, these people are sick over totally brain dead.
These Dim`s have shown the country just how far they will go to destroy this country and it`s dually elected President. They thought that MUELLER was their end all prove to the impeachment of the President, but it blow up in their face. I could not believe my eyes watching Mueller stumble over questions by the Republican and answering yes to DemocRAT question that where setup with only one answer possible. Just listening to Mueller I was saying this man never saw the report never mind writing it, He was nothing more than a figure head and the 16 crocked DemocRATS LAWYERS AND THEIR STAFF did all the dirty work. I keep watching the staff member over Mueller’s left shoulder agreeing with ever word coming out of Mueller`s mouth. She must of had a lot too do with the writing of the report. WHAT A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY BY A SICK BUNCH OF CRAZY DIM`S,.
Nadler, is a F—EN JOKE he has what I call L.M.D. ( Little Man Disease)
How can any one that call themselves an American ever vote for these Clowns again.
Let’s add Benghazi and Hillary’ emails to that list . Also, the illegal payment by Obama to Iran.
So if President Trump can be charged with obstruction of justice after he leaves the White house then why can’t we do now to Obama and Clinton what Dems want to do to Trump when he leaves office? Obama & Clinton have broken enough laws to keep them in jail for a long time . #1 Planning and trying to over through a setting President ! #2 Collusion with Russia selling American uranium to the enemy ! #3 Tampering with official evidence ! Paying for and planting false evidence . #4 Lying to get illegal wire taps for Trump headquarters before and during the 2016 election . #5 And last but not least collusion again tampering and interfering in the on going investigation of collusion on President Trump !!!!!
More lies for the dems what else is new. They will continue to spin this any way they can.
Of course the demon rats will try to talk it up as good. They are trying to overcome the disastrous dog and pony show.
Did Mueller really compose the Mueller Report? I watched Mueller yesterday constantly acting like he had no idea of the things in the report with his name on the title.
The Dems need to stop jerking our chain. Russian interference happened under the Obama Administration. They seem to forget that little detail. Amazing, huh? They hacked Hillary’s emails, too! They want everyone to think the American people are “stupid” but we remember! They better stop messing around and get to work! There’s nothing to see, he wasn’t charged with any crimes. Grow up and get over it!
This bullshyt of the Dumbassrats has got to stop and they got rich on illegal shyt and should be made to pay the American taxpayers back every damn penny they stole from taxpayers to waste all these 2.5 years and millions trying to impeach from the first damn day of a brand new president that they couldn’t stand beginning of his presidency !!!!!!!
My questions is, who votes for these people in the democratic party? Seems very squallid and not supportive of this Great Country. We have a duly elected Executive, according to our constitution, and they are bound to support, although not totally agree with him. The democrats should read Exodus 22:28 with their devotions tonight, and understand they are reviling God. They should pray for our and all leaders of people, not tear down governments. So be it.
One thing that I have noticed about Democrats. They are afraid of anyone who may pull the plug on their horrific crimes.. This is organized crime at its best. Make no mistake.. My Dad use to say the only difference between organized crime and a politician is the crime families dress better. He was correct, God rest his soul.
There was another lying democrat mouthpiece on Fox New’s The Story tonight who was making false statements as well. The old saying “if their mouths are moving they’re lying” fits perfectly!
The Russian hoax is over you demonazis, you lost again. Now get over it and get to work improving America, and I don’t mean free stuff you can’t pay for.
A Democrat politician lying these days is just a regular Democrat politician!
HEY MANAGEMENT YOU ARE PUTTING THE WRONG NAMES ON ENTRIES – BLUE FRIES DID NOT SAY THAT I DID. WHATS THE DEAL- ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?
Sounds exactly like what every Democrat presidential hopeful is promising – also minus the freedom.
This is from President Dwight D. Eisenhower a great American hero.
”if you want total security, go to, prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking…..is freedom.
IS THIS EVEN LEGAL. IT TRUMP DOESN’T WIN, BECAUSE OF LIES, ILLEGAL VOTING AND ANY OTHER BULLSHIT FROM TREACHEROUS DEMON-RATS, AMERICA WILL SEE A CIVIL WAR LIKE NEVER BEFORE. ANTIFA WILL NOT SURVIVE, NOR WILL LIBTURD,COWARD MILLENNIALS
I’ve lost respect for Democrats. Even some I know have boarded the Socialist train and carry water for the ‘squad’ that hates America.
You actually expect the dems to admit their mistakes???? Silly you.
Is there any other kind of news that democrats push other than “Fake” i didn’t think so .
Fake news list below , those are the sources democrats push as does google , facebook and twitter and guess what NOT a single one reported on the actual facts of the Mueller probe only news sources that ARE NOT on that list covered the facts .
We need to garnish their pay to start paying the taxpayers back!
Well, here is another BIG WASTE of TAX PAYER money. The Dems need to now have a PAY CUT to help pay for all this garbage they are causing !!!!
And strike three, But wait! The Dems are screaming three strikes is racist, sexist, xenophobic and transphobic. They demand three more strikes.
And vow: “I promise to never vote for another dumborat as long as I live, so help me God!”
!!!!! ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!!!
The Demo’s have not lost yet, do not get complacent, Vote!
The only people they sneak up on are dead,
They do lose a lot, but if you not careful they will sneak up on you.
Democrats must truly enjoy losing – it’s what they are best at
The only REASONABLE reply of the above posts. I say this because, although we the people will NEVER get them to cut their salary or benefits, there IS a way to get term limits. It’s called VOTING. They cannot remain in congress if they are VOTED OUT. Until such time as congress passes a term limits bill……and we all know that is NOT going to happen……..it is the ONLY way to have term limits. Our biggest problems in getting people to vote out the old guys is……..the insane belief that their party is the “right” party, and seniority truly matters. BULLSCHIDT to both. If you are a die hard party person, you don’t have to cross the aisle, you can vote the old guy out in the PRIMARIES. Get involved and find a NEW person that you believe will actually go to Washington to do the job they are supposed to do. In true Obama style: “You can KEEP your party.” As for seniority…..that is a LIE created by the politicians, purely to help insure their re-election. Trent Lott was a very powerful man in D.C……..often considered presidential material. He quit. What happened? NOTHING CHANGED in Mississippi……..other than the person holding that seat. And worst of all…….his replacement was HAND PICKED by the PARTY. Placing a new congressman, without the peoples vote. (A common party tactic to hold on to a seat. Get the new guy in, and he runs as an incumbent when it’s voting time again.) So, to conclude this overly long post…..VOTE the old guys out.
Also term limits for congressional staffers (bureaucrats that actually run the government)
And, as long as they won’t impose term limits on themselves WE have to do it in the Ballot Box!!!!! Forget the “everyone is terrible but MY representative” nonsense . If any representative or senator has been in office for more than TWO terms they need to either go home willingly or be sent home by the voters!
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT
not one Democratic Politician in my state of CaliFOREIGNia I have talked to is willing to cut their own throat
their response
if we dont like them
vote them out
TERM LIMITS are what is needed now.
We would be better served to cut their throats…..
When you look at ALL the benefits Congress enjoys – look at who voted for and approved those benefits – THEY DID!
We need to cut their salary now ,In Congress, they go in poor and come out rich
can we move on from all this and feed the homeless and get them a place to stay and a job, Lets get them all to fix the wrongs in America first now instead of this B***S
Well the Dems lost and they better stop using our tax dollar for this there was no collusion with Russia by our President the collusion was with Hillary, Obama FBI and CIA!!!
Let us get it straight
SHOCKING! <sarcasm>
