Um… He can still be compelled to testify as a convicted felon. Double jeopardy spares him from further prosecution for crimes already arbitrated through the courts. That he was convicted for “lesser crimes” makes any further prosecution near impossible on anything related to the matters upon which he was charged and stood in defense.
It’s a trap. The Republicans must think they have something on Mueller.
I’ll say!
As a side note: could we please stop with the delivery of packages of murder hornets for minor traffic infractions. I mean, as @rucleare noted, @castor_troy pummelled a nonagenarian for legally using a crosswalk and faced no repercussions. While I, working under cover in a Soros issued jalopy, was delivered #$&% hornets for failing to signal when the #$&% car had no functioning rear lights.
Just say’n.

Read Anne Applebaum’s portrait of Graham in her cover story in the July/August edition of The Atlantic. It is devastating. She chrystalizes trump and his minions amazingly, unforgettably. Get a copy, at all cost.

After watching the Mueller hearing, it became painfully obvious that he has lost some mental acuity in his senior years. Mueller appeared confused and halting. I suspect that a Senate hearing will be no different.
What Mueller and all Democrats can do is demand the release of the full, unredacted report that the Mueller investigation produced. There is a reason that Trump’s consigliere William Barr has refused to do so. Let us all see for ourselves what the investigation yielded.
Release the full report.

America deserves the truth… GET IT ALL OUT THERE…
The rest is just covering for impeached trump…

This will be a circus with Graham as ringmaster. Republicans on the committee will have been prepped with suggestive questions preparing the ground for Barr’s October surprise when he will unveil the dubious “findings” of his boy’s investigation of the investigators. These accusations of wrongdoing and bad faith against everyone involved in the investigations will have little or no merit or legal import when pursued but they will grab the initiative, portray Trump as the victim and provide him with a big, fat target for attack at a critical moment.
Do not expect vindication or even clarity from Robert Mueller having testified before this committee led by this Trump toadie. Graham would not allow it unless he was confident that he can control it and turn it to Trump’s advantage.

Dear @zillacop:
Please forgive my gender assignment error. I made a dumb assumption and guessed wrong. Next time I’ll ask before I presume. I’m duly shamefaced.

Dear Vision
Looking over the mission log books for that day, I can assure you that this was no error - simply one of @castor_troy 's less amusing pranks.
I do hope you were not stung too badly. Please see the maitainence team at the garage and make sure to note the tail light issue when you return your vehicle.
I will consult with my colleagues and we’ll look for a hot spot where you can drive an Aston Martin next time - looks like things are rocky in Albania again.
I’ll keep you posted. (but of course, never informed)
Sincerely,
RC

I agree with this, but only if Mueller is sure that he can be brilliantly clear and very compelling in an open hearing. The Republican attack dogs will have their fangs bared, and will leap for his jugular at every opportunity, so he would need to masterful if he hopes to get his message out to public in a convincing way.

I always open packages from SOROS Group International outdoors - and I wear a full hazmat suit when doing so. It helps to dust for fingerprints as well. If @castor_troy’s show up, I’d submerge it before opening.
Just say’n.

I always just have @rucleare open mine while I hang out in the bunker. Much safer. And I wrap all my gifts to others in waterproof packing. Just say’n.

A younger version of himself probably could have handled them, with his trademark gravitas and track record. Now, if it’s a repeat of Old Man Mueller from the earlier hearing, it might be best for his testimony to be written, not in person. That was a disaster.
