Former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod was brutally honest when reacting to Robert Mueller’s testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
Axelrod explained the Mueller appeared to not be as “sharp” as he once was.

“This is delicate to say, but Mueller, whom I deeply respect, has not publicly testified before Congress in at least six years,” the Obama adviser pointed out on social media. “And he does not appear as sharp as he was then.”

He then took it one step further by noting: “And it helps explain why Mueller wanted his aid nearby.”

Check out what Breitbart reported:
On Tuesday, Mueller’s team made a last minute request to the Judiciary Committee that a top long time aide to the former special counsel attend the hearing with him.
Initially, Mueller’s team requested the aide be sworn in and testify alongside the former special counsel. The Judiciary Committee denied the request, but allowed the aide to attend and confer with Mueller as he answered questions.
“Aaron Zebley was the Deputy Special Counsel and had day-to-day oversight of the investigations conducted by the Office,” a Mueller spokesman said in a statement. “He will accompany Special Counsel Mueller to the Wednesday hearings, as was discussed with the committees more than a week ago.”
Despite the help from Zebley, Mueller had difficulty answering questions. Numerous times in his testimony, the former special counsel appeared confused and frail, according to multiple members of the media.
From the very beginning, Mueller seemed to be confused, nervous and constantly stuttered and mumbled. The constant confusion raises the question: Did Mueller run the Mueller investigation or did Andrew Weissman?
When being questioned by Rep. Jackson Lee, Mueller fell apart.
“Could you repeat the question?” he asked.
WATCH the clip below:
The hearing was mainly focused on whether or not President Trump obstructed justice. Shortly into the hearing Mueller stated that he did not clear the President of obstruction however when asked if the investigation was impeded in any way, Mueller said no.
“Mueller was asked whether or not the investigation was impeded in any way, and he said no,” Kate Pavlich of Fox News said.
“Mueller was asked whether or not the investigation was impeded in any way, and he said no.” In other words, there was NO OBSTRUCTION. @KatiePavlich @FoxNews
