.MaddowBlog: As Mueller prepares to testify, Pres. Trump flubs every relevant fact.
During a brief Q&A on Friday afternoon, a reporter asked Donald Trump if he planned to watch Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony. “No, I don’t,” the president replied. “I don’t…. No, I won’t be watching Muller.”
“And Robert Mueller, I know he’s conflicted – he had a lot – there’s a lot of conflicts that he’s got, including the fact that his best friend is Comey. But he’s got conflicts with me, too. He’s got big conflicts with me. As you know, he wanted the job of the FBI Director. He didn’t get it. And we had a business relationship where I said, ‘No.’ And I would say that he wasn’t happy. Then, all of a sudden, he gets this position.
As regular readers know, the idea that House Democrats aren’t “doing anything” is demonstrably foolish, but as Vox’s Aaron Rupar noted, there were at least five other obvious lies in Trump’s pitch yesterday: 2. There was no finding clearing Trump of obstruction allegations, despite Trump’s claim to the contrary.4. There’s no evidence Mueller wanted Trump to name him the new FBI director after James Comey’s ouster – Mueller had already served in the position for 12 years – despite Trump’s claim to the contrary.
