It is obvious that Barr lied by omission to cover up Trump's guilt.
It is obvious that Barr and his cronies at the Justice Department are covering for Trump.
So it is vital that Robert Mueller be required to testify in open hearings at the request of the House Judiciary Committee.
Mueller has already very politely indicated that Barr basically lied.
So at this point, Mueller's open testimony might help the apathetic voters, and the undecided voters, and the few GOP voters with integrity to arrive at a conclusion.
It might even persuade some GOP Congress members to do the correct thing.*
*Yes, I know that my last statement might be far too optimistic, but I am an optimist by nature.

One can only guess that the Democratic House Chairs are planning to do this.
Otherwise, Trump and the GOP will continue to claim that Trump was exonerated.

(16,785 posts)Robert Mueller will testify before the Judiciary Committee, tell the truth, and show both Barr and Trump are corrupt as sin.
Barr will be displayed in a bad light and the American people will be repulsed. Except for the Trumpers. Democrats will jump on this on the campaign trail and hit Trump hard. This is great news for Joe Biden, especially on the topic of morality.

Open hearings will allow Mueller to give his side and the Report itself will support him.

(51,591 posts)employee after this week or next. I am assuming that Nadler knows this and will have Mueller testify when he can speak freely and doesn't have DOJ employee restrictions to have to worry about.
