“According to Robert Mueller, the president can be charged with obstruction of justice once he leaves office. So you know what the means … Trump is never leaving office!”
–Trevor Noah

“If you missed Mueller’s hearing, don’t worry: In a few weeks, William Barr will give a much shorter, inaccurate summary.”
— Jimmy Fallon

“You know, the president yesterday said he might watch a little of the hearings, and of course he then spent the whole day tweeting about them. He tweeted more than 20 times today, capping the tweetstorm off with this: ‘Truth is a force of nature!’ And we all know how much respect he has for nature, so.”
— Jimmy Kimmel

“Mueller was questioned by 60 lawmakers for six hours. The only other time you get grilled like that is if you’re single at your family reunion.”
— Jimmy Fallon
