Alan Dershowitz: Dems will regret calling Mueller to testify, are 'shooting themselves in foot'
Fox News ^ | June 25 2019 | Charles Creitz

Democrats will regret issuing a subpoena to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who agreed to testify later this summer, according to Alan Dershowitz.

Mueller cannot refuse to answer questions from Republicans not covered by "privilege," Dershowitz claimed on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle."

"I'm trying to stop them from shooting themselves in the foot," he said.

The Democrats are terrified of what is coming down the pike and they are so screwed that they have nothing to lose.

They are desperate to shift the narrative and create an impeachment food fight as smoke screen for their misconduct and criminality in the Obama era and to de legitimize the I I ant investigations and indictments they are about to get hit with.

To get the ball rolling on impeachment, they need Mueller to publicly utter the secret word - obstruction.

It’s not a great option, but they are cornered rats and it’s all they have.

Mueller will get hit will all sorts of damaging and incriminating evidence as collateral damage, but that will all be coming soon anyway so the collateral damage is insignificant compared to Mueller’s manufactured obstruction claims that the Democrats need to jump escalate their impeachment food fight

Exec Admin will assert privilege over anything not in the report. In the same manner that Hicks declined to affirm the location of her WH office.

Nadless can eat the sausage he ordered but he will not be allowed to see how it was made.

Mueller can not change the story at this point. He will open up a new can of worms, which will cause more chaos.

“Gowdy is no longer in Congress! Another poster thinks that Senators are in the House!”

It appears that hyperbolic cynicism is inversely proportional to the level of thoughtful reason.

I do believe that there are some good eggs in Congress and that some will have great questions to ask.

But, if I had to bet, my $ would be on the Dem/media cabal to restrict and dominate the lines of inquiry and subsequent reporting.

I fear that nothing good for the country will come from this. And I pray that I’m wrong.

The Republicans were praising Mueller until a few months ago. They will ask him questions about the Russian threat to our elections.

Maybe FR should compile a list of interesting questions?

- Why isn’t the “dossier” mentioned in the report?
- What was the predicate for the investigation?
- Why is Hillary, the entire DNC, and Christopher Steele ingored?
- Why were you still having people raiding mere weeks before ending your investigation when it was already clear what the report would be saying?
- Why was your team composed of only rabid Democrats?
- What did you uncover respective to FISA warrants?
- Why would you claim that PDJT wasn’t “proven innocent” when that isn’t your job, while being impossible to prove anyway?

The Republicans need to be all over Mueller like white on rice.

Mueller won’t have to dodge questions. Chairmans Schiff and Nadler will simply stop any republican asking anything that they don’t want answered. I doubt that many republicans will get to speak beyond “hello, Mr. Muller...”

Dershowitz is right. WE also can generate ‘sound bites’... and ours will be the one’s no one has heard before. Because our guys will finally have the right to question Mueller...

And the democrat base? If they’re too stupid or disinterested in reading the report, what makes liberal ‘elites’ think reading it out loud to them - or collecting new sound bites - will matter?

Demwits are just too tied up in their delusional system.
