It simple yes or no answer this and it would in no way affect another investigation. Steele dossier was discussed in the Mueller report and the only complication would be if Muller was discussing new findings at the hearing.
Cheerful Spring2 wrote: » Appearance by Mueller is an embarrassment. He is refusing to answer basic questions about the investigation. It beyond my purview seriously? You there to answer questions about your report and he should be allowed to just say i can not answer that. Politics in America is truly broken when you can't find out why the investigation started and why. He's refusal to answer basic questions about the Steele dossier is tragic.

Clearly Trump has some serious questions to answer in terms of obstruction. Yet many seem to think that he should be allowed obstruct on the basis that he should never have been investigated. Or that even if he did obstruck other people did wrong things as well. For a man that claimed he was going to drain the swamp, his supporters seem totally unwilling to ask that he starts with himself. It reminds me, in a small way, about the whole episode with Bertie and the tribunals. Supporters seem genuinely more interested in protecting their man then the truth or the country. The country should always come first. And it is what the politicians demand of the citizens, be it to pay taxes or fight wars. But Trump supporters (and they are not the only ones) seem to believe that country should come a distant second. Defence of their man comes first.

These so-called Patriots are quite willing to ignore that their country was ATTACKED by a foreign hostile power and they seem more interested in protecting their man than in ensuring it never happens again! It's absolutely mind-boggling!

If nothing else, the Mueller report clearly proved a) Russia tried to help Trump win the election (how much they succeeded in terms of influencing votes can't be measured, but they tried regardless) b) The Trump campaign welcomed and expected to benefit from Russia's help c) Senior members of the Trump campaign were working with foreign entities to help influence the election and enrich themselves in the process d) All of the above could have compromised members of the Trump team regarding bribes/influence/blackmail related to their acceptance of Russian assistance e) The Russian campaign was an attack on a Presidential election Regardless of evidence of conspiracy, the origins of the Mueller report or anything relating to obstruction, how does any American person, group or political party not see that as anything less than an attack on America itself?

So his opinion is both valid and valuab!e in respect of whether Trump could be indicted once out of office. On the other hand, unless you are a combination astronaut and rocket scientist, your opinion in relation to Moon missions is neither valid nor really of any value.Are you a combination astronaut and rocket scientist? :P

He's an old man who's age has clearly affected him negatively. His reputation has been dented badly by yesterdays proceedings. On the other hand I think of people like General Flynn and what he's gone through...

I know they raided and pointed guns at people who weren't a physical threat, stuck others in solitary confinement, and according to reports they attempted to coarse damaging untrue statements from people in exchange for immunity. Mueller gave the appearance that he learned more about the Mueller report than anyone else yesterday. His performance was laughable, and I don't like using that word because clearly he has problems associated with his age.
