This thought just occurred to me now. I didn't listen to the cable news shows today. I was away from the TV so I don't know if anyone addressed this.
I'm thinking I would prefer Mueller be placed under oath for the very reason - I don't want Trump to claim that Mueller was lying during his testimony. If Mueller is placed under oath at least we would have a retort to Trump - saying that a man of his character wouldn't lie in the first place and besides he was under oath.

(15,290 posts)As of last night, his aide will also be under oath as a witness during the Intell Cmte hearing, but only appear as "counsel" to Mueller, not under oath and not answering questions during the Judiciary Cmte hearing.
