POLITICO Playbook: The first Mueller TV ad

By JAKE SHERMAN and ANNA PALMER 07/30/2019 06:16 AM EDT

PLAYBOOK SCOOP … ROBERT MUELLER was panned last week for being short in his testimony before Congress, giving little ammo to Democrats who wanted to capitalize politically from his appearance.

… BUT DEMOCRATIC AD-MAKER MARK PUTNAM has cut the first paid ad from the hearings, funded by TOM STEYER’S Need to Impeach, a spot that’s going to grab many eyeballs in the coming days. The group is spending in the mid-six figures to air the ad on CNN and MSNBC before and after the second presidential debate (which airs tonight and Wednesday night on CNN live from Detroit). Needless to say, this is prime time for millions of politically active TV viewers.

THE AD IS 30 SECONDS LONG. It starts out with a frame of the committee room and “WHAT MUELLER SAID” across the screen. “Did you actually totally exonerate the president?” House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) asks Mueller. “No,” Mueller says. Did the president’s written answers show that he was not always being truthful, Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) asks. “Generally,” Mueller replies. You believe you could charge the president with obstruction after he leaves office? “Yes,” Mueller says.

IT CLOSES WITH House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) asking if President DONALD TRUMP accepted Russian interference and then lied to cover it up. The answer to that: yes, and generally yes.

WATCH THE AD, because it will be very much talked about in the next few days: 32-second clip
