It is NOT Muller Time.

LINK

quote:

Robert Mueller is balking at testifying publicly before Congress, pushing for a closed-door appearance in negotiations with House Democrats, according to three people familiar with the special counsel’s position.

Mueller has told the Democratic-controlled House Judiciary Committee that he doesn’t want to be dragged into a political fight and that he’s hesitant to publicly discuss his final report, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing the continuing negotiations.


Translation: Muller does not want to be dragged into a fight that will reveal the lies in his report.

He is afraid to be asked when he knew, how soon he knew Trump was clear yet he kept looking.

If House agrees to closed door, bring him in front of Senate in public.

Doesn’t want to be dragged into a political fight, but, he wants to go behind closed doors so the Dems/Media can lie about what he says.

I would ask him about WMDs in Iraq, Uranium One and the bogus Russian witch hunt purveyors for starters and how willing he is to be honest before he winds up with the the same fate.

I don't blame him. In the open hearings too many congressmen do nothing but grandstand.

The Dems need him in the open. Mueller can't. He would have to answer questions that could incriminate him.

Just how in the hell can he have a meeting with House Dems with no Repbs. at the meeting? There seems to be all kinds of wrong with that.

Dude will never testify under Oath.

Republican Member: Mr. Meuller...were you aware of the FBI Informant that offered evidence of massive Russian corruption toward securing Putin's purchase of 1/5 of US Uranium...and if so, were you also aware that said Informant (information) was essentially silenced from making such available to pertinent Authorities who would approve Putin's deal?

I get the impression that it's democrats that don't want him to testify in public but want to spin it to appear as it's Mueller's decision. Once Mueller testifies, it will be time for democrats to either move forward with impeachment or shut up about it. They know this but they want to keep it alive through most of the primaries in an effort to keep all of their candidates from attacking each other

Declass will shred his report. He doesn’t want to be put under oath and then lie to protect the report. Only to be charged with perjury after declass reveals the truth.

Will actual members of Congress ask questions, or will staffers and congressional lawyers?
