MSNBC host Joy Reid hit back at critics saying Robert Mueller is “looking old and feeble” by arguing it was good “optically” for Democrats.
“Lots of twitter folks are dogging Mueller out for looking old and feeble. But optically, that just makes the Republicans yelling at him look more absurd. Mueller is quite definitive in his one word answers, which only Dems are eliciting from him so far,” Reid said Wednesday on Twitter.

Critics both conservative and liberal on Twitter noted that the 74-year-old former special counsel looked old and sounded confused during his hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.
Mueller testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee to answer questions about his 448-page investigative report into whether President Trump’s campaign conspired with the Russian government during the 2016 election.
The report found that Trump and his associates did not conspire with Russia, but also did not exonerate the president from obstructing justice.
Mueller sounds old and feeble.

Ok, I’ll say it. Mueller seems exhausted and old.

This Mueller hearing is like a bunch of kids asking an old man a bunch of stuff he doesn’t remember

#Mueller coming off as a doddering old fool who has no idea where he is or what his name. A person who once knew the law, but somehow age has robbed him of any valuable 7nsight.
A person who was run by subordinates who used his once great stature to cover their puppeting. pic.twitter.com/NG78qQpr28— John Basham (@JohnBasham) July 24, 2019
