laura: he has testified 89 times or so on capitol hill, so with his reluctance to get close to the mic suggest lack of confidence? no, what he is trying to do is he with the other person is telling him. you have to realize this is something he didn t want to do. he s very distracted, you still get the same so you know it s still robert mueller, it is not enthusiastic robert mueller. a lot of people were tweeting about his mouth being a agape often. what does that reveal? sometimes that means we are feeling nervous but in addition to that if you watch in this clip, you see him shift his jaw. when you see somebody shift their jaw like this, that is an indication of disagreement. disagreement, uncertainty, frustration. what we have to do is look at all these things in context because you never want to make an assumption based on one
mueller from the start, it was reduced to admitting this about today s proceedings. it was a televised disaster. i thought it really was a very ineffective. the democrats have to be disappointed. it certainly seems like donald trump is winning. laura: finally some honesty. if anybody can have a bad day, i m a lawyer too,is i was invold in a lot of white color investigations. you don t always hit home runs. but this was a day full of swings and misses. an investigation that was in search of a crime from the very beginning. anybody, but rank partisans would come to the same conclusion at this point. if mueller was thee consummate pro everybody said he was, he would ve used today to apologize to the american people andnd ths president for what ultimately
they have had to go through all this testimony they were vilified, and everybody build him up to be this guy, we cut my soundbite now, but who walked on water. i didn t buy it from the beginning. any time the elite build someone up to this demigod status, my antenna always goes up. this was a sham from the beginning. he was not with it. and he is running this investigation that could affect u.s. politics? i was there next to bob mueller for the entire judiciary meeting, and it was obvious that he was not prepared. and he didn t have a grasp of it. laura: the basic facts of this investigation. the whole panel knows more about this investigation then bob mueller does. that was meant to be a softball question by a democrat, and it was a swing and a miss. it was just a sad day. laura: you worked with him, you know him, i assume you think he is a man of great integrity.
it s much more likely something that bob mueller did not in his judgment come to. it was the judgment of the mueller team. laura: mark meadows, i m going to go to you. we are going to move to this because he was asked about whowe appointed him at this hearing. for those of you who missed this, watch. which president appointed you to become the united states attorney for massachusetts? which senator? which president? i think that was president bush. according to my notes it was president ronald reagan. laura: the president has been through hell, his family has been through hell. all these people had to hire lawyers.
to do this. it was first they wanted to wait for the mueller report, then they wanted him to come back and they wanted him to do a press conference and then they wanted him to show up. three times they have struck out. they re going to get they need to stop while they re behind. right now they are so behind, they need to just stop. laura: they don t care about what s good for the country. this is what andrea mitchell said about the line of inquiry. about the steele dossier. doit is shameful. shameful that republicans are so focused on trying to undermine the origins of the investigation that they did not deal with the facts that has been concluded by all of the intelligence agencies under obama and of course professionals. this is the gaping hole in the whole investigation. bob mueller was handed a mandate to do a counterintelligence
