I agree with bringing everyone in, but the report needs to be the first thing. Questioning anyone without proper context isn’t worth that much.
This just goes to show that the GOP’s options to get the ’ full ’ report
off the radar screen are dwindling —
This Collins GOOP doesn’t know that Chairman Nadler said months ago the House would be prepared to call in Mueller to testify if all other efforts to get the full report failed. That’s why he’s the chair and Collins isn’t.
To which Nadler remembered Adam Schiff’s burning glare when addressing the 9 GOP assholes on the intelligence committee and did the same.
One can easily imagine what this human fly strip wants to ask: “Are you still an angry Democrat???”
It sounds good, just produce the report first so Naldler and the committee know which questions to ask Mueller.
As the ranking member, he sits right next to the Chair. If he wasn’t so eager to act like a complete a-hole most of the time, maybe Chairman Nadler would be willing to talk to him…if he’d listen.
Barr is relatively speaking a newcomer to the current D.C. viciousness led by pissed off Democrats. He’s been away since 1993 under the kindler, gentler Poppy bush admin, comes back because he told PP he’d slay the Mueller dragon, but found, surprise, surprise, it’s a brand new Democratic world he has to fight off.
Kkklowns be kkklownin. You don’t conduct the depos until AFTER you get your document discovery. He’s trying to set up a situation where nothing of substance really gets discussed and Mueller just keeps saying he can’t disclose anything.
Just like asshole Nunes who sits next to Schiff and thinks he can deliver some important intel to Barr without Schiff’s knowledge and without seriously pissing him off.
Actually Nadler should have had Mueller sitting in a chair the day after Barr told him to go screw himself.
The guy is actually telling Nadler how to do his job. Stop the bitc#assness. Bring in Mueller. Do it fast. He even offered to do it when they are in recess.
Whole Nadler was whining about Barr releasing the report when they are in recess.
Real simple. Bring the report. Start reading.
Yeah, ONLY if Mueller brings copies of the report for EVERYBODY.
as @castor_troy pointed out on a Nadler thread earlier, this is most likely a Republican tactic to get their “interview” with Mueller forced to happen before The Report is in their hands. That would SERIOUSLY handcuff the Dems to grilling Mueller about a report they do not have in front of them. If so, this is IN NO WAY a republican suddenly growing a conscience or responding out of civic duty…and is exactly the same obstruction and ratfucking you can expect from the Rs.
Plus, as I thought about it more, Collins and the rest would use their time most assuredly to ask all their conspiracy theory questions about how the investigation was authorized in the first place, any info Mueller has on the FBI and their counter-intel stuff, etc.
All to highlight the witch hunt and try to derail the Report ever getting out.
If he didn’t do an in depth and proper ’ job description ’ review …
which would include the relative needs of the times …
before applying … for the job …
that’s his fucking problem —
Why is Congress on a 2 week break that started last Friday?
The GOP wants Mueller to testify before the report is disclosed because it’s a good opportunity to try to discredit him, and his credibility is likely the only factor that remains pliable in this whole morass.
The investigation is already complete. So, curtailing it is no longer an option. Its breadth is what it is.
The report is already written, so that part is no longer up for grabs either. (Barr’s ongoing attempts to suppress and redact notwithstanding.)
But, the report isn’t out yet. If it’s as bad for Trump as everyone assumes, it will be catastrophic for the GOP. Mueller’s credibility isn’t written in stone, so that’s where they’ll take the fight next. Americans’ trust in Mueller is so high, there’s pretty much nowhere for it to go but down.
Remember 15 years ago when most Americans believed in climate change, and now less than 50% of “conservatives” do (and belief among libs has also dipped, I think)? That’s what professional propagandists can do with just a few billion dollars – pocket change for Koch, Adelson, Mercer, or Putin & MBS. That was a war on science – a cause powered by the daily support of tens of thousands of serious professionals, and decades of research and evidence. The reputation of a single human is a much easier target.
The GOP and their corporate paymasters will stop at nothing to sink this thing. The stakes in 2020 could not possibly be higher – after 2016, they took their crimes and looting into the open because they believed the game was already rigged so thoroughly that they could escape the consequences forever. One of the greatest dangers to their hegemony is Mueller’s report, because it threatens to painstakingly expose a small cross-section of their black-market trade in power.
I honestly expect at least one assassination attempt before this whole thing is over – either a sincere attempt on Mueller or another LEO to obstruct justice, or a false-flag attempt on Trump to create an emergency they can exploit. They’re so close to cementing their power, and the last two years have emboldened every kind of (white) criminal.
Mueller can testify about the report. He and the report should be subpoenaed to come in together.
