BINGO!
Watch: GOP Congressman Screws Up as Mueller Gives Him a Damning Answer Extremely Dangerous to Trump

A three-term Republican Congressman who is a former district attorney asked Robert Mueller a critical question and received an answer he clearly did not expect.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) asked the former Special Counsel if a president can be charged with a crime after he leaves office, and received an answer he did not expect.
“Could you charge the president with a crime after he left office?” Congressman Buck asked Mueller.
“Yes,” the former special counsel and former FBI Director replied.
Surprised, Buck tried to clarify to get the answer he assumed he would get.
“You believe you could charge the President of the United States with obstruction of justice after he left office?” he probed.
“Yes,” Director Mueller again replied.
Rep. Ken Buck: “Could you charge the president with a crime after he left office?”
Robert Mueller: “Yes”

Many on social media cheered.
Let me be the first to welcome Ken Buck to the resistance. https://t.co/Pb7JmMBdTN

Did Ken Buck just get Mueller to confirm that Trump can be charged with crimes for what he’s done after he leaves office?
A Republican did that?

Ken Buck just violated the first thing you're taught in trial practice in law school: "On cross examination, don't ask a question you don't already know the answer to". And he asked the question twice! 😂 https://t.co/8XvkhH8m9e

Is it me or did Rep Ken Buck just earn himself a @GOP primary challenge in #CO4 because he seemed to have scored for @TheDemocrats? #TweetTheMuellerReport #MuellerHearings pic.twitter.com/5mzixcZI6P
