And now there is an article at The Atlantic along similar lines: Robert Mueller and the Tyranny of ‘Optics’:
“DAZED AND CONFUSED” was the Drudge Report’s blaring headline. But the Twitter verdict of NBC’s sober-sided Chuck Todd was almost as severe: “On substance, Democrats got what they wanted,” Todd wrote. “But on optics, this was a disaster.”
Optics—the kryptonite of the modern media age, the glimmering, crystalline material that can subsume substance at every treacherous turn. Or as the former Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett rejoined to Todd on Twitter: “When you say ‘on optics, this was a disaster’ it is you saying so that helps make it true. The disaster of the optics is the elevation of optics and the claim by pundits that it was a disaster.”

You hallucinating idiot. It was a disaster. Mueller stated there was no evidence of "collushion". He was also torn to bits over his exoneration claim.
I hereby exonerate you for killing 30 people, Stepford. You're hereby exonerated.
KC was hallucinating me thinks.
He clearly implied Trump could be tried for obstruction of justice.
Whilst he said he could try Trump for collusion for lack of evidence he certainly did not exonerate the crookster
...he certainly did not exonerate the crookster
He most certainly did not, just like he didn't exonerate you for being a half witted lesbian transvestite who steals women's nylons on clothes lines. You're exonerated, Homer, you moron.

This massive Russian scare is a way of white-washing international Judea's interference in American life. If you have a fantasy that the Russians are coming, then it makes you feel like you don't need to worry about the reality of Israel controlling the Congress as if they were trained puppies.
Serwer's take on matters is ridiculous cherry-picking. Here is superior analysis of the hearings from a paleo-centre-leftist perspective.

Has Taleb been taking etiquette lessons from you? https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1155398134979153926
LOL
Surely its been building up a long time. Here's a guy who has a great handle on whats going on and he's got to bite his lip when all these retards, (like former Prime Minister David Cameron) give him an interview.
Just gritting his teeth and biting his knuckles when no-one else is looking was never going to last forever. People like Robert Rubin and Larry Summers can thank their useless lives that he didn't stumble upon them down a dark alley somewhere. I just admire him for keeping polite most of the time up until now. Better man than I am Gunga Din and all that.
JC, Trump lied in his written evidence to Mueller you goose.
you clearly do nit understand the implications of that
If you say so, Paxton. It's obvious I clearly do "nit" understand.
And what did he actually lie about, you imbecile?
State the lies in bullet points.
Go!
