thank you. welco welcome, director. as a former fbi director, you would agree that the fbi is the world s most capable law enforcement agency? i would say we re yes. the fbi claims the counter intelligence investigation of the trump campaign began july 31st, 2016. but, in fact, it began before that. in june 2016 before the investigation officially opened, trump campaign associates carter page and steven miller, a current trump adviser, were invited to attend a symposium at cambridge university in july 2016. your office, however, did not investigate who was responsible for inviting them to this symposium. they also failed to interview an american citizen who organized the event and invited carter page to it. is that correct? can you repeat the question? whether or not you interviewed steven schraege who
dollar deal to build a tower in moscow to be business dealings. wouldn t you, mr. mueller? absolutely. in short your investigation found evidence that russia wanted to help trump win the election, right? generally, i think that would be accurate. russia informed campaign officials of that? i m not certain to what conversations you re referring to. intermediary informed papadopoulos that they could help in stolen emails? accurate. committed crimes in order to help donald trump. you re talking about the computer crimes charged in our case? yes. absolutely. the trump campaign officials built their strategy, their messaging strategy around those stolen documents? generally, that s true. and then they lied to cover it up? generally, that s true. thank you, mr. nunes.
robert mueller, on his presentation, the president said he believed he did not have a presentation, did not have material when he went into the hearing rooms, we will hear more on this. democrats are reacting. it is not over yet. oh, yes it is. sandra both sides i m not disappointed at all. reaction to trump? he was combative, sure of himself, looked very, very confident and relaxed and relieved over today because i think everybody agrees even the democrats and the mediaa would agree this is absolute catastrophe for them. i predicted this would back fire on democrats, backfired worse than i expected. the entire day, they tried to strike and light that match for impeachment and it wouldn t light. there was no big t.v. moment. mueller didn t deliver, he was stumbling, bumbling, trump knows tha that, optically, it was a bomb
hatred make its hard for anyone to take righteous end of the world shrieking seriously. everyday is the apocalypse at the hearing, no one is listening, everybody is tuned out, but us, we don t trust what we hear. imagine if the media hadn t given in to bitter emotion after being humiliated, cnn hadn t been fearmongering or had a panel call everybody racist, people might listen to this stuff. too late. the media stuff. same people who spent years pushing fake trump-russian collusion conspiracy theory and thought for months mueller s testimony would get trump. none of that happened. here is the best of the media mueller meltdown. from democratic perspective to me, it s been a bust. if you are telling a story through congressional hearing, what you want is the witness to tell the story.
you can really sense the disappointment and you have to ask, if you are disappointed, what did you expect from today and how did you think the outcome was going to be difference from this? i think they thought, greg, democrats on the committee could sell it. the olc opinion, don mcgahn and rosenstein, can t really sell a political scandal the way a burglary or dead body can. they had the edge. the party and media were hand in hand. i said to jim, 140 minutes i was there. cnn s lower third was mueller, trump was not exonerated. they went with that. carnival news network had one thing to bark. sandra the first change all they add, they can t report on good news, it is linked to trump. they have this, they seize on only thing they can, they don t
