Mueller must be subpoenaed to testify before the House.

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.

testified already? I think if they call him to testify he will show up and the whole thing will be clear.

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.

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.

The best weapon for the GOP is voter ignorance.

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

They'll manufacture a misleading headline out of it.

Word is that the House has already done this.

*A guest on the Hardball show just said she has been told this by a member of the House/ committee.

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.
