When questioned, he didn't even know who Fusion GPS was.
He wasn't sharp but I think he was filibustering a lot of the time.
Each member only has a few minutes to questions. So bumbling, asking for clarification, checking the document means less time answering anything. It's not unusual in these sort of hearings when a witness didn't want to be there

He might have been filibustering, waffling, etc., but he also looked clearly confused and out of his depth. He doesn’t appear to be somebody who was in charge of his own investigation, and this will now be a big part of his legacy — he’s either a partisan stonewaller or somebody clueless and suffering from early Alzheimers, pick your poison.
It now appears the entire charade was a Democratic operation with Mueller as the figurehead. He twisted himself into so many knots that Trump will be able to use his most damaging line of the 2016 campaign (“they lied and they knew they were lying,” re: GOP architects of the wmd hoax) and re-load it for Democrats.

Wow looks pretty good for Trump, I wonder what media will lead with?
...oh

I just checked NZH homepage and there’s crickets about this story. You know for certain if there was anything damaging to Trump it would have been Five Alarm headlines. Yet there’s nothing. Gee I wonder why?
-
Stuff had it front page for a little bit....AP article, sounds like Mueller must have had 2 hearings..I mean what other explanation could there be for the reporting difference?

Gabbard sues google
Responding to the suit, Google spokeswoman Riva Sciuto said in a statement that the company has automated systems that "flag unusual activity on all advertiser accounts -- including large spending changes -- in order to prevent fraud and protect our customers."
"In this case, our system triggered a suspension and the account was reinstated shortly thereafter," Sciuto said. "We are proud to offer ad products that help campaigns connect directly with voters, and we do so without bias toward any party or political ideology."Who could have foreseen that a political candidate after a televised debate might spend more money on advertising?

Google is just so unaware of what they have become. Power corrupts and they have waaaay too much power.
I'm starting the long process to untangle myself from them and Facebook. Thankfully it looks like some alternatives have done quite a bit of catch-up in terms of features and performance in the last year or so.

Over 100000 employees... If automation basically runs everything... What the fuck do they all do?

Jesus Christ. Hadn't seen that until now. What Dem thought it was a good idea to have him up there? Unless it's an elaborate act, that guy would have been lucky to find his way to work each day let alone lead a complex investigation.

Most of them are probably anti trust lawyers

So back to that Democrat lawmaker who claimed a white man told her to go back to where she came from...well she's done another press conference where her lawyer wants to put criminal charges on the guy.
...except also footage of the even has come out backing up his claims and at least according to the store manager that the 'go back to where you came from' comment was actually from the Democrat directed towards the 'white' man.Just total insanity. I can't get my head around how someone could just lie so blatantly, its sick.
