Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller was frequently tripped up and forced to ask lawmakers to repeat their questions during his rapid-fire questioning on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, though he reportedly prepared at length for the hearings.
At one point, he even said he wasn’t familiar with Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm behind the controversial anti-Trump dossier.

This is delicate to say, but Mueller, whom I deeply respect, has not publicly testified before Congress in at least six years. And he does not appear as sharp as he was then.

Mueller is "not familiar" w/Fusion GPS
He says the dossier is "outside his purview"
But taxi medallion schemes & income tax fraud was?
The spreading of Russian disinformation literally was his mandate! He knows all about the dossier bc his team tried & failed to verify it!
