how shocking that Barr covered up crimes to protect Trump
nobody on earth could have ever seen that coming....
Would have been more surprising if he hadn't, tbh

they did and he agreed. He's set to testify in public on july 17.
So this did go well after all.Darrin
Might as well call it now...
The Mueller hearing is July 17th - in front of TWO committees - in PUBLIC - and then afterwards in a classified closed-door hearing.
The arsonist in chief will start a huge fire by July 16th -
Hopefully it isn't war with Iran - but he needs a yuuuge distraction before the 17th.
Meadows says Mueller 'better be prepared' for GOP 'cross-examination' after agreeing to testify
Geraldo Rivera: Democrats will pay a 'price' for reviving Mueller report
If mueller tells the truth
He already said report would be his testimony
Him coming and speaking will help trump
would be surprised at this point if House Democrats press ahead with their attempt to call Mueller as a witness.
Mueller quite presumptuously claimed this morning that there is no reason for him to testify because he doesn’t have anything to say beyond his report. That is not his call to make. A witness does not get to decide what questions he must answer. I wonder what Mueller thinks would happen in a court proceeding if a judge asked him a question and he answered, “Go read my brief, I have nothing more to add.” (Hint: It would not go well for him.)
That said, though, Mueller’s statement was a boon for pro-impeachment Democrats. It is not going to get better for them if he testifies and gets clobbered. House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler is probably savvy enough to take what Mueller has given him and run with it.

Trump angrily attacks Mueller for ‘terminating’ text messages of FBI agents in incoherent Fox Business rant
Trump attacked former special counsel Robert Mueller, accusing him of “terminating” the text messages of FBI agents to conceal anti-Trump bias by the bureau.
“You know what I used to say we will find out, they spied on my campaign, and
when you look at somebody saying, listen she is going to win but if she doesn’t we have an insurance policy,” said Trump.
“You know what insurance policy is?
An insurance policy to get him out of office.
These are sick people, two lovers the two pathetic lovers, two lovebirds sung like nobody ever sung.”
“Wait till you see the rest,” said Trump.
“Robert Mueller, they worked for him, and two lovers were together, they had texts back and forth, email back and forth
. You know why?
Terminated illegally, he terminated all stuff between Strzok and Page, some you have never seen.
Robert Mueller terminated their text messages, together, he terminated them, they are gone. And that is illegal. He that is a crime.”
There remains no evidence, however, that they improperly influenced the Russia investigation for political gain —
let alone that the special counsel “terminated” their online communications to cover it up.

"terminate messages" ? yep, Trash, that's your ed up brain's language center for "deleted messages"
Trash is unfit for office, or to run a business (into the ground)
Four reasons Mueller’s agreement to testify is a big deal
First,
this is possibly the only way to dispel the notion that Mueller found “no collusion, no obstruction.” In fact, he didn’t look for “collusion,” which is not a crime, but came up short finding a criminal conspiracy. Nevertheless, he found that the president and his campaign welcomed Russian interference and thought it would help Trump win. Hearing that directly from Mueller will be a powerful and complete contradiction of Trump’s and Attorney General William P. Barr’s public statements.
Second,
while truth-telling is a benefit unto itself, Mueller’s testimony has the potential to move public sentiment. No matter what he says, he will not sway hardcore Trump supporters who believe nothing negative about their cult leader. However, it is not hard to imagine him shifting public opinion in the way that the Watergate hearings shifted public sentiment in favor of impeachment.
Third,
Mueller’s testimony may both alleviate and increase pressure on Pelosi to begin impeachment hearings. On one hand, she buys a bit of time to allow Mueller to testify, for public reaction to take it in and perhaps for other witnesses to step forward. However, if Mueller is truly convincing (especially if there is perceptible movement in public approval of impeachment), it will be hard for her to deny that Mueller found substantial evidence of obstruction, for which the available remedy is impeachment.
Fourth,
while Mueller is unlikely to discuss his conversations with Barr, committee members and/or counsel can
read portions of Barr’s original summary, testimony and news conference to Mueller and then ask if the statements are true.
True or false — you left it to Mr. Barr to decide on obstruction?
True or false — President Trump did not “completely cooperate” insofar as he refused to be interviewed and tried to sway the testimony of others?
Barr is unlikely to come off as a straight shooter after Mueller lays out the facts discussed in the report, facts that contradict Barr’s spin.
“This is very important in getting the American public to understand how corrupt and egregious Trump’s conduct was in trying to stop the Russia investigation. At a minimum, people will be educated about the public facts that are in the report —
facts that paint a picture of blatant obstruction of justice.” She continued,
“Ideally, we will also learn more about the campaign’s interactions with Russia and also Bill Barr’s interactions with Mueller and why the investigation ended when it did.”
the impact of his short public statement is a sign of how impactful a full day of testimony could be.”

Adam Schiff Is Ready For Barr’s Interference In Mueller’s Testimony
“I have to expect that Bill Barr is going to continue to do what he has done since he has been appointed and
that is to run interference for the president in any way that he can, and
that is maybe interposing objections to what Bob Mueller can say and
releasing some information that is his own and that is to distract from the hearing,
but we can expect bill Barr to act as if Rudy Giuliani is appointed A.G.,
because that is how he has behaved so I can’t cabin what type of behavior to expect from him.”

How will Schiff, Dems minimize Barr's damage to their work?
Balance for what? Not investigating?
Florida?Matt ing Gaetz?
Who's truth teller? Mueller? Trash? Gaetz?
What FACTS does Gaetzcontest? refute?
I expect this to be derptacular.
They really need to get all the Twit’s that lied to the people.
But not to Mueller under penalty. Unfortunately the WH is scared less of that.
Transparency. Yet Another alternative definition.

Damning new details emerge on letter Trump drafted that explicitly linked Comey’s firing to Russia probe
a letter that President Donald Trump drafted that
explicitly linked the firing of former FBI Director James Comey to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
the original draft of Trump’s letter justifying Comey’s dismissal made it plain that
he was displeased with the FBI for investigating whether the Trump campaign helped Russia interfere in the election.
Specifically, Trump made reference to
“the fabricated and politically-motivated allegations of a Trump-Russia relationship with respect to the 2016 Presidential Election”
in his letter — although this line was later deleted at the urging of officials at the Department of Justice, including former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Rosenstein agreed to write a cover story for the president that cited Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe as a justification for his termination.
“At the time he did so, Rosenstein fully understood that the president’s primary reason for firing Comey was related to the Russia investigation,” Waas writes.
“He also knew from the draft that the president wanted McCabe removed as well.”

Fox News’ Napolitano Counters Mueller: Trump Can Be Criminally Prosecuted While President
Napolitano argues
“we know that presidential obstruction of justice is an impeachable offense because
both President Richard Nixon and President Bill Clinton — each of whom instructed aides to lie to FBI agents and falsify evidence — were charged with it.”
“Question: What do you call a threat by federal prosecutors to seek an indictment of the president, and subsequent plea negotiations?
Answer: A prosecution of the president,” Napolitano wrote.

Mueller left huge door open for Trump to seek foreign re-election help — and get away with it: law professor
, a Fordham law professor suggested special counsel Robert Mueller needs to take time during his July public testimony to correct an egregious mistake in his report to the Justice Department that is an open invitation for Donald Trump to reach out to foreign governments for re-election assistance.
According to Jed Handelsman Shugerman, the former FBI head made con uous “legal errors” and left “loopholes” in his report that need clarification and fixing since they contradict settled law.
“Leaving the statute and regulations ambiguous on foreign meetings invites the Supreme Court to strike them down, as it did with a similarly vague criminal statute this week in U.S. v. Davis,” he continued, adding,
“Mr. Mueller weakened anti-corruption campaign law by validating First Amendment objections to some of the most basic provisions of campaign finance law — by creating, in effect, a loophole — and
by also getting Congress’s statutes on campaign ‘coordination’ wrong, and then declining to call out the violations he actually found.”
“Congress has prohibited foreigners from making ‘a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value,'” Shugerman claimed,
“The Mueller report created legal uncertainty.”
“He [Mueller] puzzlingly made a giant leap to imply that most opposition research — even by foreign governments — might be covered by the First Amendment,” the law professor predicted how any exposed overtures by the Trump administration for future foreign assistance would be defended.
“That legal error has serious consequences.
First,
just as Mr. Trump’s comments were an invitation to foreign governments to help,
the Mueller report is an unwitting invitation to Mr. Trump and foreign governments to use opposition research to evade campaign finance law,” he lectured.
“Second,
if any prosecutor tries to indict Mr. Trump or any candidate for trying to use this ‘opposition research’ loophole,
defense counsel will cite the Mueller report as a solid defense.”

How Mueller Can ‘Fix His Mistakes’
In his July testimony, he can help Congress and the Federal Election Commission clarify our vague campaign-finance law.
