Fox News reported: Chris Wallace comments:
“I had to laugh a little bit when you talked about the testimony by Robert Mueller because testimony has to be put in quotes. It really hasn’t been much testimony. Mueller “doesn’t seem to know things that are in the report. He’s been attacked a number of times, and you would think that almost anybody else would have defended his own integrity, the integrity of the investigation. Over and over, Mueller just sits silent and lets the attacks from the Republicans to sweep over him and says nothing. Mueller said at one point that he was not familiar with Fusion GPS, [source of Steele Dossier] the firm behind the controversial dossier of discredited claims against Trump that may have played a role in launching the initial probes of the Trump campaign.  [..snip] I think it does raise questions about the degree to which he actually was in charge of and in control of this report. I should say whether he was in charge of the investigation, because he doesn’t seem in charge of what the report actually says.”

Five Hours Robert Mueller Grilled from Congress As Democrats Attempt to Again Find a Way to Impeach Pres Trump and Failed Again
7-24-19, Business Insider -- Moments from more than five hours of Robert Mueller's 'RUSSIA COLLUSION' investigation.

There were 18 criminal charges including 5 falsifications of income tax returns, 4 failures to file foreign bank account reports, 4 counts of bank fraud, and 5 counts of bank fraud conspiracy.

Trump impeachment drive takes hit as bombshell-free Mueller hearings rehash report
7-24-19, Fox News --  Republicans on both panels peppered Former FBI Director, 74 yr old Robert Mueller with questions that he refused to answer [123 times he refused to answer] about :

1. the origins of the Russia investigation [Steele phony dossier]
2. the role of the anti-Trump dossier authored by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and paid for by the Clinton campaign
3. alleged misconduct by the FBI during the bureau’s initial July 2016 investigation into Russian meddling [Strzok & Paige texts] 
4. potential collusion with members of the Trump campaign

Republicans also repeatedly confronted Mueller with lines of questioning meant to illustrate a double standard with regard to how his office pursued allegations against candidate Donald Trump and his associates and how they reviewed allegations of misconduct by others.
Mueller repeatedly said he could not comment and continued to say the issues were outside of his “purview.” He was appointed on May 17, 2017 by former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who assumed oversight of the Russia investigation after former Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the probe due to his involvement with Donald Trump's campaign during the 2016 election.

Mueller’s investigation lasted nearly two years, ultimately finding no evidence of a criminal conspiracy and not reaching a conclusion on whether the president obstructed justice. [Many Democrats are crying today.] More here

Democrats' lack of progress
This exchange with Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., had plenty of Trump opponents excited:
LIEU: The reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of OLC opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?
MUELLER: That is correct.

Some felt Mueller had made big news, arguing Mueller was saying Trump would have been indicted if not for that policy. "Robert Mueller just reaffirmed in response to questioning from Rep. Ted Lieu that the only reason he declined to indict Donald Trump was because of an Office of Legal Counsel opinion stating that a sitting president cannot be indicted," the Democratic super PAC American Bridge declared in a news release.
​
But it wasn't to be. At the start of the second hearing, Mueller offered a correction: He was simply saying they made no conclusion because of the OLC opinion - not that he would have charged Trump otherwise.

The correction underscored the fact the Democrats simply weren't getting the moment they desired from Mueller. And when they thought they had, he soon snatched it back.
