claiming that some of the time, Mueller has been straying from the topic for which he was appointed.

Hmmm. Is there a basis for his claim?

Pretty sure cover up of election fraud is in Mueller’s job description.

Right…that ol’ ‘rule of law’ thing is for DEMOCRATS not investigating REPUBLICANS or treasonous bastids like Trump and family. WTH is wrong with ‘you people’…

I wonder if Renacci has looked at all kinds of pieces outside of the specific job Trump was purportedly elected to come on board for. If the GOP Congress took that investigation seriously his term in office would have wrapped up very quickly and Mueller could simply refer his findings out to multiple prosecutors around the country and close up shop.

Yeah, who cares if the Special Counsel finds white collar felonies by the upper echelon? Move along, folks, nothing to see here.

Hey Jim, calm yourself. These things take time but be assured there’s an issue. P.S. Who the fuck are you again?

Not a U.S. senator from Ohio, that’s for sure.

Why did that moron get airtime, even?

Am I missing something? Is there some reason why Renacci’s opinion on anything at all should matter to anyone at all outside his immediate family?

Like most battles against linguistic misusages, I know this is a losing (or should I say “loosing”) battle but—“critique” does not actually mean “criticize.” As a verb it means “analyze.”

Interesting: this talking point, that the Mueller investigation had strayed from its original remit, was repeated by Chris Matthews on his show last night. He said that just as the Whitewater investigation had convened to investigate a real estate deal but went far afield to a sex scandal, the Mueller investigation has also strayed from Russian “collusion” to a private sexual matter. I commented to my husband at the time that it was clear he had been talking to the Repub friends who provide him talking points. It’s nice to see it corroborated.

To be clear, I doubt Chris knows he’s repeating talking points. I think he’s so gullible and naive that he thinks they’re just his buddies who make smart points. What’s that called again? A dupe? A useful idiot?

Huh. And back here in reality, Mueller has established that basically everyone on the campaign was in regular contact with the Russkies, and that there were several different quid pro quos offered and possibly received…
