Schiff: Mueller Has ‘Duty’ to Testify Before Congress, Subpoena Possible
Breitbart ^ | 02 Jun 2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/02/2019 10:48:11 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” House Intelligence chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said special counsel Robert Mueller had a “duty” to testify before Congress about his investigation into the 2016 election.

Schiff said, “I was disappointed to see such a profound reluctance to testify. I understand that. I think he has one last service to perform. It’s not enough merely to speak for 10 minutes and say, ‘I’m not going to answer questions for Congress and the American people.’ There are a great many things that are not in the report.”

He continued, “We want to find out what happened to those counterintelligence findings that were sent back to headquarters. And in terms of if the president is vulnerable of influence from Russia. Why the president can’t criticize Putin or take adequate steps to protect our elections. The American people have every need to have answered here. I hope Bob Mueller will answer, as painful as it may be, he has a final duty here to perform. Like any other witness and it’s my hope he’ll do so and it’s my hope that he’ll do so voluntary.”

Stephanopoulos asked, “If he doesn’t, subpoena?”

Schiff said, “That would be my recommendation. That’s decision we’ll have to make collectively and our leadership when there’s use of compulsion, because it may lead to litigation. That’s not how this process for Bob Mueller should end. He’s a dedicated public servant.”

Schitt thinks he's the only one who will get to question Mueller.

Has he got a surprise coming.

If I was Pres. Trump I’d let Mueller twist in the wind.

Mueller has probably already found a spider hole to hide in from Republican questions.....

I hope so. Mueller can then be indicted for lying. And exposed for covering up for Clinton.

It would be best for Mueller to testify before the Senate committee first. Let the Republican Senators grill Mueller in public testimony and wring him out to dry.

The Republicans can do some damage asking Muelldog questions. Possible Perjury .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The last thing the democrats want is for the Republicans to ask Mueller any questions.

1. You said the Russians hacked hillarys computers.
How would you know since nobody was ever allowed to look at her computers and she destroyed all her devices?

2. Why didn’t you investigate anything that had anything to do with hillary, like when she paid millions of dollars for the dossier that started this whole thing?

Dear Adam:

The people you represent in California are suffering from communicable diseases coming about because they live in filth.

Why are you wasting time talking about something that never happened while your constituent’s lives are in danger from a mess that you helped make?

You want to do something helpful?

Go pick up garbage in LA instead of opening your mouth and spewing out more garbage.

Love and kisses!

That would take a spine. So far, because of their lack of support of President Trump and their reluctance to do what they should have done when they had the majority in both houses, I’d say these preening weaklings lack a spine. However, they are well-versed in kabuki.

Just when you thought the little pencilneck Schitt couldn’t get any more stupid, he proves you wrong.

I’d have the Senate subpoena him first where the Republicans can control the hearing.

LOL. They are not going to do that. Graham was shining Mueller’s shoes and defacto endorsing Mueller’s police state tactics the very day Mueller was lying his way through his public statement.

You’ll see talking about this right on up through November 2020. That’s it. TALK.

Booker and Harris will be looking for soundbites to use in their campaigns and the rest of the Dems will turn that hearing into another circus

Hopefully, Graham could keep it under control, but I doubt it

I thought he said during the press conference that he was off to St. Croix?

Best case scenario... Senate Judiciary subpoenas him and Graham publicly dissects him.

When you need to change the rules for the Judiciary Committee, right now both the Chairman (Graham) and ranking member (DiFi) both have to agree to issue a subpoena. Doubtful Feinstein would agree.
