Mueller must testify publicly

Mueller "underestimated the dishonesty of Trump and Barr. He might have done well to follow Comey’s example" https://t.co/exBEhHwZaA

House Dems face a Mueller conundrum: What to do w/a reticent special counsel?

They ALL agree he has a duty to testify in public — so do most Americans. But how far will they go to push him into the witness chair?

“Mr. Mueller seemed to expect that the system would work as it had in the past, with Congress or perhaps voters making the decision about whether Mr. Trump had committed a crime, only to see the president’s handpicked attorney general” said he hadn’t. https://t.co/z9GwcAUgHU

Barr makes this clear today: he didn’t simply misinterpret Mueller, he overruled him- “WE DIDN’T AGREE WITH THE LEGAL ANALYSIS..IT DID NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE DEPARTMENT. IT WAS THE VIEWS OF PARTICULAR LAWYER OR LAWYERS, AND SO WE APPLIED WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE RIGHT LAW.”

Mueller spoke directly to America on Wednesday, hoping to cut through flawed analysis of what his report said.

Do you think that Special Counsel Robert Mueller conducted a fair investigation into any links or coordination between President Trump's campaign and the Russian government?
Yes 72%

The number of people who have NEVER HEARD that the Mueller report DIDN’T EXONERATE Trump of criminality is staggering.

Maybe we shouldn’t keep assuming that people in Trump’s base are unmovable by factual information. Maybe it’s all the silo effect of social media.

Calling Mueller’s team “some of the worst human beings on Earth,” while saying he’s in love with Kim Jong-un, a dictator who murders people for sport, tosses thousands in gulags, and executes dissidents with anti-aircraft guns, tells you what you need to know about Trump. https://t.co/jHi98fbkcO

This critique of Mueller seems right to me. His well-born rectitude was from central casting. But the courage he showed as a marine would’ve been helpful. https://t.co/SEm97lAmDU
