you are not to discuss uncharged third parties" (Trump). BUT---that letter was in response to Mueller's letter to them---the DOJ---ASKING THEM WHAT HE COULD SAY in his testimony! Legally, he is now a private citizen and I am not aware that the DOJ has any authority to control or dictate what he says or declines to say in his testimony.
WHY---did Mueller ASK Barr for "guidance" as to what he is "allowed" to say?
I could PUKE!

I dont have a thimbleful of trust for what he will testify to after his press conference after the report was released.

(90,347 posts)... Mueller isn't just some functionary sell out who knows America's electoral system is under attack and isn't going to do much more than "his job" to let us know.
I'd be screaming bloody murder to make sure our systems were tight

(1,997 posts)Repubs are either selfish or ignorant to the fact that the party's interest is in helping the financial elite. Their social stances are purely to attract voters who are unable to see beyond some wedge issue or another.
At worst, Mueller is conducting a massive charade - making himself look impartial. At best, he is tolerating the rap(c)ist-in-chief because the repub agenda is being accomplished. Either way, he does not want to help the cause of the Democratic Party.

(6,976 posts)Gonna bother to wake up to watch PRIVATE CITIZEN Mueller testify before Congress, because thuglicans are going to turn it into a shit show, plus on top of that tRump's DOJ told Mueller this evening that he MUST stay within the boundaries of the public report. I really didn't expect Mueller to drop any bombs, but I did expect him to at least clear up some very crucial questions from the Mueller Report that we DESERVE to have him answer since it was HIM who was ambiguous in answering a very important question pertaining to tRump & what he thinks about prosecuting a sitting president who CLEARLY broke a dozen or so laws per MUELLER'S REPORT.
We the people paid for an incomplete document from Mueller.
A pity.
