That Mueller hearing yesterday

I watched it with maybe just one eye.  The hearing  was long, very long.  Each congresscritter in two committees got 5 minutes to question Mueller or just make speeches.  The Democrats would read aloud from the 400 odd page Mueller report and get Mueller to agree with it.  This served to get points from the report before the public.  Few people have bothered to read the Mueller report.  I haven't and I don't plan to.  It is too long, written in lawyer's gobble de gook which can mean almost anything depending upon who is reading it.
   Republicans seized on inconsistencies in the report and grilled Mueller about them.  Mueller did not look good answering.  In one case he admitted ignorance of the Steele Dossier, which has been headline news for months.
   A lot of talk about "obstruction of justice".  Early in the report they state that there is no evidence of "collusion" between the Trump campaign and bad guys.  If there is no crime, how can there be obstruction of justice?  That was never explained.
