Tiberius Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Quote Robert S. Mueller III and House Democrats have been unable to reach an agreement on how much of the special counsel’s expected congressional testimony would be public, and how much would take place in private, according to people familiar with the matter. The special counsel’s office, along with senior Justice Department officials, has been quietly negotiating with the House Judiciary Committee, whose chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), has been eager to have Mueller testify as soon as possible. Who is driving the dispute is a source of debate. Two people familiar with the matter said the Justice Department is deferring to Mueller, who would like for any discussions beyond the public contents of his report to be conducted in private. But another person said it is primarily the department, rather than Mueller himself, resisting a nationally televised hearing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/mueller-and-house-democrats-at-impasse-over-how-much-of-his-testimony-would-be-public/2019/05/21/995d2a2e-7bdb-11e9-8bb7-0fc796cf2ec0_story.html?utm_term=.711d5c71069b

His own team is telling him not to testify out of that fear... That's not something one does when they believe they have a case to make against a treasonous actor occupying the Oval. Mueller was never doing what you thought he was doing. His job was to exonerate Trump on Russia collusion/conspiracy -- and he did just that. Everything left is political and partisan, nothing more. Mueller is aware of this, hence his stance. More crying from the left coming in 10, 9, 8...

Mueller's letter to bar shows he wants to get the truth out 2 minutes ago, Nanker said: Trump! Perfect!

Mueller's letter to bar shows he wants to get the truth out I do know it. Mueller's own report and subsequent statements prove it. If he wanted to get the truth out, he'd be willing to testify under Nadler's terms and in public. He isn't though, because the spin you're pushing is just that. 2

Everything is a race to get a headline... pretty true. And his point about tearing at the fabric of Congression oversight is spot on. It does make me wonder how much damage all this is doing to the Congressional oversight process. He's right about all of it. And when he ends by calling it a circus, well, it is difficult to disagree. all of which leads me to believe that the Donner Party is doing everything it can to get Trump re-elected. this alone causes me to be alarmed, why do they so desperately want Donald Re-elected? 1 1

It's hard to get the truth out but when you're limited to 30 months, $30 mill, investigatory power the KGB would die for, a 400+ page summary, and a plethora of powerful prosecutors on your payroll. You really need Jerry Nadler aka Jerry Nads aka Jerry Baggy Pants aka Jerry the Fat aka Slimfast Jerry to coax out the detail of what would have been written on pages 401-407. 1 5
