This is very interesting because Mueller's team has decided to go around the DOJ and negotiate directly with the House. Previously the negotiations were with the DOJ.

IMHO, Mueller is pissed.

PHEW!

I suspect Mueller has at last reached the end of his patience and professional reserve.

Mueller is PO'd and will help us bring down trump. Biden/Harris would be a formidable ticket.

Leaping from one topic to another like that! Very clever how you squeezed in support for the Dem candidates you support.

I am in complete agreement with both of your statements, BTW.

trump, barr et al have shown they don't care about the law and how things are done. Mueller will go down in history as saving our democracy.

IMO, not only does he know where all the bones are buried, he sure as hell has the fortitude to use them.

He also probably has that parental look that you get when you prevaricate even a little. The Oh Crap! I just blew the next six months’ privileges. The I’m grounded for life look!

...you are telling the truth.

It will reduce you to a guilt-ridden 5 year old in an instant!

Democratic but more power to you if you have that faith.

"Tune in Friday for 'The Thrill-a on the Hill-a'!"

after the Con saying he will not allow McGahn to testify

Had to take a break from MSNBC.

I think that was Nadler’s request. Sorry I don’t have a link.

can't take off. Please Mueller negotiate for the next week or the week before. Putting it out in the universe.

You go gal!

You’re becoming a source of news here, kinda a little like Rachel!

Me - meeeeeeeeeh!!

That’s my point. Wanna get the latest? Click on malaise’s threads. See what I mean?

I have been hearing that he won't be under DOJ mandate at that time and would be able to speak more freely. I haven't heard anything about this today though.

That would be perfect. I hope he has a top class security detail.

His job was over when he submitted the report.

It's my baby

Leaving the position doesn’t make him any freer than a retired military officer could talk about classified information.

They can’t force him to lie about his findings, but he also can’t exactly show up with a flash drive filled with redacted grand jury materials

The redacted report is enough to sink Trump. Plus, he can sure testify to the cover up Barr is running.

Next up, impeach Barr.

The look on his face in the picture told me that he was unhappy with how things unfolded.

I hope he tells all.

way to go Mueller - continue to show us your mettle in favor of American justice/democracy!

She was ignored by the media and the powers that be.

First of all, they can be fairly certain that he will be attacked by the Republicans on the Committee. Nobody likes to be attacked, especially Bob Mueller. The more they attack, the more he will fire back.

Democrats could just sit back and let the Republicans question him.

Otherwise, it could turn into nothing more than a tug-of-war between the two Parties?

Let Mueller defend himself against the Republican attacks.

He is not "a bear" and I imagine he is the last person in the world who would react to being poked.

Fool me once shame on you

Fool me, you can't get fooled again.

yesterday

My guess is that it’s between Nadler and the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs.

Which means it’s really Barr doing the negotiating.

what happens?

But theoretically? Prosecution and jail time... termination and likely loss of his pension.

But Nadler can’t arrest anyone.

I’m also not a fan of your implied theory that even though it’s illegal, he should do it because Barr isn’t in a position to punish him for it.

The full House theoretically has the power to imprison someone for a short time... Committee chairman have none at all.

Barr said so.

It would be great if, on day 1 and 2 Mueller will testify
and on day 3 and 4 Don McGahn will testify

no how, would TrumpBarr allow this if there was some kind of smoking gun bombshell.

probably not what we are hoping for. Otherwise Barr and trump wouldn't allow him to testify. So don't get hopes up that Mueller will say what we want...that trump and Mueller are crooks.

What are they going to do, jail him? For testifying to Congress?

Does this pertain to what he can (not may) testify about and what cannot be revealed?

Barr refused to do? Or will it be a fawning, thank you Mr Mueller, we totally trust you affair?

And now we have to "negotiate" for him to testify about that investigation? Your tax dollars at work people.

Graham to Mueller: Come testify if you dispute Barr

Hopefully he's coming in sooner. No more waiting. NO MORE WAITING.
