It's not *that* hard, and if people really cared about what Mueller found and described, The Velveteen Ocelot May 2019 #133

And if he testified in public without setting his hair on for or jumping up on the table StarfishSaver May 2019 #135

This right here is the best post on this topic so far! EffieBlack May 2019 #91

The video of Mueller testifying would be shown over and over again by every news organization. shockey80 May 2019 #94
