Why is Robert Mueller not speaking out?

[Cousin Dupree]

The events surrounding the report stink to high heaven. Is he legally prohibited from defending his work?

[Takket]

1. he needs to be asked first

and he's way too rigid to go looknig for a camera. he will respect the authority of Congress when he is asked to speak before them

[Lithos]

2. There is still activity going on

such as the Grand Jury

so, maybe prudent from that standpoint

15. No evidence of that.

The Mueller Grand Jury has not met since Jan. 24.

19. The story says nothing about meeting since Jan. 24.

3. I think he can only do it if he is subpoenaed.

He probably wants to be subpoenaed.

[Mr Tibbs]

12. I believe you are correct

The Democrats will definitely subpoena him.

[Corgigal]

4. Listen to the gaslit nation podcast.

They called these people Boy Scouts, or institutionalize.

We need Nazi hunters. The podcast was released yesterday.

5. I think he will...

They wouldn't be attacking him so much otherwise. They are soooo predictable. I also think that when we see the "report" it will be redacted to the point of uselessness and everyone will still debate what they think it says over and over again...The redactions will be fought over until after the 2020 election. They wouldn't be so confident if they thought it would see the light of day...predictable.

6. He's. Republican

That's why.. When are we going to stop Idolizing him?

16. +1

...

7. I only want him to speak UNDER OATH

[Jarqui]

8. They're going to ask Barr first

I don't think Mueller will lie. Barr is going to have to try to square what he did without the benefit of knowing what Mueller will say.

They did not agree on obstruction of justice and more.

Mueller is a military, by-the-book man. He's not going to call a press scrum to whine about what Barr did. He'll wait until the eyes of the world are upon him and set the record straight.

9. Probably waiting

for government to work as it should. If it doesn't work as it should then he may do what needs to be done to correct the situation, but that could potentially be weeks from now.

10. This whole traitortrump mess is not occuring as a movie, with a beginning,

middle, and ending - all in 100 minutes or so.

This is live, messy history occurring at its own lengthy, complicated pace.

[Sneederbunk]

11. Dem Judiciary Cte should subpoena Mueller and the report.

[SCantiGOP]

13. It would be unprofessional and unethical

He works for the DOJ.
But DOJ enforces the laws made by Congress. He knows he will be asked to corroborate Barr’s final report to the Congress.

[PeeJ52]

14. I think anything he would say would need to be in a legal setting under oath...

Anything said outside of that could screw up the presentation of the facts and whether they could be accepted in court. He probably has to wait to be subpoenaed.

[Hoyt]

18. I agree. Mueller doesn't need his job, so no reason to be quiet

unless he doesn’t care about the truth, or Barr’s summary is somewhat true.

I think the House needs to subpoena Barr and Mueller soon (I think Barr might already be scheduled to appear).
