Donald Trump Jr. declared former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee a “disaster” for the Democrats after a series of missteps and flubs by the former head of the Trump-Russia investigation.

After Mueller contradicted himself and claimed unfamiliarity with Fusion GPS – Trump declared the hearing a “disaster” for Democrats.

Earlier in the hearing, Mueller stated he was not familiar with Fusion GPS, adding that those questions were “outside my purview.”

“If anyone still believes that this hoax was anything more then a leftist attempt to overthrow @realDonaldTrump, this fact should end that notion once & for all,” Trump said. “It’s time to investigate the investigators!!!”

Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) caught Mueller contradicting himself early on regarding the definitions of “collusion” and “conspiracy.” Mueller cracked the “collusion” debate back open after stating: “We did not address collusion, which is not a legal term. Rather, we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge any member of the campaign with taking part in a criminal conspiracy, and it was not.”

Mueller told Collins the terms were not synonymous, despite the fact his own report states the terms are “largely synonymous.”

Collins asked:

On page 180 of volume one of your report, you wrote, ‘As defined in legal dictionaries, collusion is largely synonymous with conspiracy as that crime is set forth in the general federal conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. 371; … Are you sitting here today testifying something different than what your report states?

“Now you said you chose your words carefully. Are you contradicting your report right now?” Collins asked.

“Not when I read it,” Mueller said.

“So you would change your answer to ‘yes’ then,” Collins said.

“No, no. If you look at the language –” Mueller began before Collins cut him off.

“I’m reading your report sir,” he pressed. “It’s a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer.”

“I leave it with the report,” Mueller said.

“The report says yes,” Collins said. “They are synonymous. Hopefully – finally – out of your own report we can put to bed the collusion and conspiracy.”
