So what do people make of Mueller's afternoon, "correction"?
Capitulation.
A guy like Mueller is a guy Republicans take advantage of. As in, somebody willing to play by an old set of rules that the cult has long since abandoned. The media is another example of this - with their all encompassing commitment to bothsiderism which probably worked better 50 years ago when you could still find a Republican with integrity without having to send out a search party.
Having said all that, pundidiotry and some lefties have put way too many eggs in the impeachment basket. By all means they should bring that forth as they gather more evidence and convince more Congressional Dems to move forward. BUT, keep your eyes on the prize, people. The goal is the total annihilation of the GOP at the ballot box in 2020. If that's done by harnessing the rage of people who are sickened by Chump and his co-conspirators thus far getting away with crimes, then so be it. Far from our "last resort" that was always our BEST resort!

No the Democrats put too much in the Mueller basket. And it blew up in their face. Yesterday was the movie version and it bombed. The only thing new yesterday was either "Retracted" by Mueller or was a conspiracy theory from Republicans that Mueller refused to shoot down.
So Republicans partied last night and Democrats went back to whatever it is Democrats do cause I really don't know at this point.

Scoobs, buddy, the Republicans were going to allegedly "party" no matter what Mueller said. Remember when Trump declared the 2018 midterms a victory? If you're going to measure reality by how the GOP reacts to events, no wonder you're upset all the time!
It wasn't just the Republicans reaction. It was many Democratic pundits that I watch and listen to and their reaction. I posted Bill Maher's reaction yesterday. There was also a former prosecutor (forget her name) on MSNBC last night. And a slew of others.
At this point, everyone's mind on Dump's criminality and corruption is made up. You aren't gonna move that needle much.
Best way to do that is keep passing bills, let Yertle shoot them down, and then keep bleating, "See, here's what you could be getting if we controlled the White House and both houses again. Itch and Dump are obstructing it."

So, it wasn't news that Manafort, and by extension the Trump campaign, supplied polling data to the Russians, hence, conspiring and colluding with them, because they were seeking personal enrichment?
Manaofort for cash, and Trump seeking out and willingly accepting Russian help in exchange for his Moscow hotel project getting done?
Selling out your country for your own personal enrichment. Nope, nothing to see here.
Every official associated with this incident belongs in prison. I'm sure there are many others.

Because they, like Handy, saw Mueller as a White Knight gonna rush in and eliminate all their problems with a single word.
Well, anyone who was expecting that, from either the release of his report, or his testimony, is an idiot.
Those are just the beginning. Now the hard work has to begin. Now, if the Dems continue to drag their feet and be cowed from doing that work, then yes, then they deserve every bit of criticism that can be heaped upon them. They can start by compelling testimony from those admin officials who are refusing to appear before them. If they're just gonna sit around and accept a lawless administration thumbing their nose at them, then nothing else is gonna matter.
Maher has always been negative on Mueller and impeachment, lol. And he's right, Dems need a coach - they have to focus on beating Dump. Best way to do that is keep passing bills, let Yertle shoot them down, and then keep bleating, "See, here's what you could be getting if we controlled the White House and both houses again. Itch and Dump are obstructing it.".
