Now that Mueller is history, he’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.
[Update late morning]
Democrats grudgingly admit that the Mueller testimony was a disaster.

Democrats grudgingly admit that the Mueller testimony was a disaster.
[Update about noon]
The day the Resistance’s dreams died.
It’s starting in the House. Looks like a good line up of witnesses, including Laura Montgomery.
James Delingpole is impressed, as is Iain Murray.
[Update a few minutes later]
Boris has put together a Brexit all-star team.
Haven’t been listening to much, but Mueller does not seem to be acquitting himself well. Anyway, some of the questions he’s getting from Republicans (and to which he has no good answers) are described here. The remarkable thing about it is that it comes from The Nation.

What rock has Mueller been hiding under that he’s never heard of Fusion GPS? Twitter responds.
[Update a few more minutes later]
Mueller is being exposed as the magician of omission on Russia.
[Mid-afternoon update]
Mueller goes from savior of the Republic to bumbling fool in the course of five hours.
Pretty obvious why he was reluctant to testify. It’s become quite clear that he didn’t lead the investigation, or even read “his” own report. He was led by his partisan investigators by the nose.
[Update a few minutes later]
Mueller was supposed to “bring the report to life,” but even an NBC analyst says that he “sucked the life out of” it.
[Update a while later]
The painful, pointless testimony of Robert Mueller.
[Thursday-morning update]
The Mueller testimony was box-office poison.
In retrospect, someone, at least toward the end, should have asked Mueller who wrote the report, since it was clear that either he hadn’t read it himself, or was so bereft of his faculties that he couldn’t recall key parts of it.
[Update a few minutes later]
Heh.
House Democrats: We won’t rest until Trump is stopped…OK, time for recess.
[Update a while later]
Mueller’s performance raises questions about his handling of the investigation. You don’t say.
And was it a sign of a guilty conscience?
[Late-morning update]
Was Aaron Zebley running the Mueller probe? He’s the one who authorized the destruction of the Clinton henchpeoples’ cellphones.
[Bumped]
It was Obama’s failure alone. Surprised to see this at CNN.
Things are about to get ugly.
This may be like Budapest in 1956, or Prague in 1968. How will we, and Britain, respond?
Was it malice, or ignorance? Given the level of his ignorance on so many subjects, I’m going to go with the latter.
Will he soon be the most popular leader in the world?
I had lunch with Iain Murray in DC a few weeks ago, who went to school with him. It will be interesting, if nothing else. I asked Iain if May was the worst PM since Chamberlain. “Lord North,” he replied.
[Update Tuesday morning]
With him seeming to be the next PM, the New York Sun is waiting for Boris Johnson.
[Update a couple minutes later]
From the third link:
When it comes to rhetoric and eloquence, he is the anti-Trump.

[Late-morning update]
Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

I don’t know where to start with this ignorant burning of a field of strawmen.
Just wow.
You have to read to see what these insane grifters did to this moron and his innocent wife and kids. It really does read like Fatal Attraction meets a transgender Bonfire of the Vanities. Golden quote: “I just really hate the patriarchy, that’s it.”
Almost all of these people are bonkers.
