Mueller or McGahn could be a great national hero.

If either one of them came before the American people and spilled their guts, they would go down in history as true patriotic heroes.
Of course, they won’t because of Republican ties, fears of retribution, etc. etc.

And when they don’t, the American people will never truly heal no matter what happens in the 2020 election.
It’s truly a shame that we don’t have a John Dean Watergate type patriot somewhere in all of Trump world.

1. McGahn could be another John Dean.

He's in exactly the same position as Dean was. Does he want to go down in history as just another Trump toady or as a hero like Dean? Now that Trump has started publicly dissing him, maybe his loyalty will start to crumble like Michael Cohen's did.

2. If only.

4. If it was me (which it wouldn't have been because I'd rather be the person who

pumps out the porta-potties at a burrito-eating contest in August than work for Trump in any capacity), I wouldn't especially appreciate being accused publicly of perjury by the guy whom I've been defying a House subpoena to protect. I might start thinking, "Fuck that guy."

3. There doesn't seem to be a patriot in the entire lot. trump has eaten their souls.

6. John Dean faced those fears.

He did not know the tapes would come out to corroborate his testimony.

He went to jail, too, and then rebuilt his life. There are no more brave republicans left.

7. I'm not holding my breath for it to happen.

I'm greatly disappointed in both of them.

8. they are both cowards

I am especially disgusted by Mueller.

As soon as he saw Barr lie about the report, then toss it in the trash, the very next morning he should have shown up at Congress with 435 copies of the full report, with supporting documentation.

But apparently Mueller is just another delicate, fragile flower/snow flake, afraid of a "spectacle", that doesn't have the patriotism required to complete the job he was given.

His job was protecting and defending this country from our enemies, both within and without, through adhering to legitimate legal means. Not indicting because of someone's written SUGGESTION, based on NO written legislation, given the mountain of evidence, was the coward's way out.

Sad.

He may not want to be part of a spectacle. But he is going to carry this albatross around his neck for the rest of his life. A "spectacle" will have been child's play... He may rue the day...

10. Well said. I wonder if he has any shame or guilt at all.

9. Well the fake prezident said McGahn is a LIAR so then he is a LIAR and if he testifies that

may change my mind.
