Special counsel Robert Mueller has agreed to testify publicly before Congress on July 17 after Democrats issued subpoenas to compel him to appear, the chairmen of two House committees announced Tuesday.
Mueller's unusual back-to-back testimony in front of the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees is likely to be the most highly anticipated congressional hearing in years, particularly given Mueller's resolute silence throughout his two-year investigation into Russian contacts with President Donald Trump's campaign. Mueller never responded to angry, public attacks from Trump, nor did he ever personally join his prosecutors in court or make announcements of criminal charges from the team.
Guess we'll never know what blackmail or incentive they had on Mueller, since he did his job so well and dragged it on and on with absolutely nothing.
Don't know...Mueller acted as a good career bureaucrat and tried to avoid upsetting any side seriously (his conclusion: no one is guilty but perhaps someone somewhere is guilty) while dragging investigation out for as long as possible so that his lawyer friends could bill gov't tens of millions.
Do we yet know what Mueller's specific directive from Rosenstein was? I thought that was being kept secret from the public. What if the directive was: investigate collusion with Russia AND anything and everything under the sun and make sure it stretches out until after the midterm election. Maybe that's the very first thing Trump should make public.
