Some are watching old video of his previous testimony. Others are closely re-reading his 448-page report. And almost all are worrying about how they’ll make the most of the short time they’ll have for questioning.
Robert Mueller, the Democrats know, will be tough to crack.
The stern, reticent former FBI director has said he won’t answer questions beyond what is in the report on Russia’s election meddling and the Trump campaign and possible obstruction of justice when he comes to Congress on July 17.
Mueller is expected to testify in front of the Judiciary and intelligence committees for two hours each, with time split evenly between Republicans and Democrats, though that timing is still a subject of negotiations. That means Democrats will have to be efficient and targeted in their attempts to extract information from the former special counsel and spotlight what they say are his most damaging findings against President Donald Trump.
“It will not be easy,” said Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline, a Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee. He added: “We just have to be very smart about how we use the time and really give the special counsel the time to tell the story.”
Cicilline says he’s reading the report a second time, thoroughly, with an eye toward what he wants to ask.

The thing they should be most worried about is that the Republicans get to ask uncomfortable questions
Muller was the director of the FBI when Epstein was transporting under-aged girls across state lines for he and his friends to rape. Perhaps a republican on the committee has the balls to ask Muller about that.
DemocRAT desperation versus reality.
Can’t believe the Dems are still going through with this.
Everything else has failed, what to do , what to do....(felix walking back and forth with hands behind his back being wrung)
“Robert Mueller, the Democrats know, will be tough to crack.”
LOL AP! He’s on the rats’ side, for God’s sake, and found nothing to nail our good POTUS on.
What will be tough for them will be controlling the dialogue against truth. Truth — anathema for rats, holy water, bright light.
That’s right, but instead they’re going to piddle away all their time trying to draw Mueller into speculation that goes beyond the report, which he won’t do.
Yes, but as the article noted instead of having a strategy to expose Mueller and the witch hunt they will just wing-it. Maybe a couple of Republicans will be prepared but the rest will not spend the time to expose Mueller. Sad the Republicans in the house are so worthless as a group.

They should be thankful that Mueller found the sitting president did not collude with any foreign government to get elected.
But now they want to quiz the person they have told the world that they must accept his findings, to question his findings and find something that Mueller did wrong. Democrats, the most untrustworthy cult in the world
Could be Mueller’s name is on the list, perhaps under a pseudonym. Look at the guy; you just KNOW he’s a pedophile or worse.
This will be like walking a high wire strung over the Niagara Falls. Spectacular event no matter how it goes.
Make sure everything is recorded. By several different methods.
Not really. The Nadlers Nabobs just want to make long leading statements to hear themselves change wishes to record as facts.
Their response is Slash and Burn.
They're willing to risk everything in an attempt to take down Trump.
"Mr Mueller, on what date did you realize the Steele dossier was a partisan political document funded by Hillary Clinton and used to fraudulently influence the FISA court?"
Nadler: "Hearing adjourned!"
I just hope this collapses into the worlds largest fuster cluck
I answered that in my previous testimony ...I answered that in my previous testimony ...I answered that in my previous testimony ...I answered that in my previous testimony ...I answered that in my previous testimony ...I answered that in my previous testimony ...
Since the Democrats control Congress, they set the rules and they have limited the Republican’s time. They have a small window to to ask tough questions. I hope that they get a few in.
Gagworthy.
The press is still trying their hardest to exalt and burnish Mueller's reputation, when in reality he's a corrupt deep state apparatchik.
