I am so looking forward to that. It will be highly entertaining. Rachel Maddow says the instant analysis following Mueller's testimony doesn't seem to be holding up well a day later. #ctl #p2 #maddow pic.twitter.com/FYPHirtLSU — PoliticusUSA (@politicususa) July 26, 2019 The substance of Mueller’s hearing was damning for Trump It’s easy to get caught up in the 24-hour news cycle in which every development either seems like a major game-changer or a complete dud – with no room for thoughtful or substantive media analysis in between. That’s because in the current climate, optics outweigh substance. It’s why Trump, Republicans and the right-wing media have spent the last 24 hours focusing heavily on Mueller’s tone and performance – not the actual contents of his testimony. But the more we unpack the substance of Mueller’s testimony, the more damning it is for the president. As former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: “Russia attacked our democracy. Trump campaign sought its help, had many contacts with Russians, lied about it and obstructed the investigation into it. Several senior Trump associates were convicted of crimes. Trump would have been indicted if he wasn’t President. Not complicated.” Trump and his GOP protectors want the media narrative to focus heavily on Mueller’s stage performance on Wednesday because they know the substance of his testimony was nothing short of damning.
