I find it absolutely disgusting that this board, which I understood prided itself on its

difficult tightrope. He's honorable as anyone we could have in that role IMO, but faced with what I'm sure were not subtle threats from DOJ et al re: his overstepping into areas that have not clearly been delineated by concurrent SCOTUS decisions (e.g, full extent of Executive Privilege), the rule-follower, Mueller took it very seriously. That surely made the morning's session on obstruction far more difficult for him or anyone else to "thread the needle", especially someone accustomed to a prosecutor role.

I felt that he was more unleashed in the afternoon's session and it showed. The Russian impacts are an immediate and continuing threat and that honorable, country-first Marine was quite emboldened to discuss. Of course, that aspect of the report was always more an intelligence issue, so the portion SC had carved out for criminal consideration was always a much smaller part.

I think at least some of the media will have to reassess their "immediate" reactions. I hope that perspective does come through.
