DOJ has not seen Robert Mueller's opening statement for Wednesday's hearing
CNN ^ | July 22, 2019 | Jessica Schneider,

Robert Mueller will have a prepared opening statement for his much-anticipated congressional hearing on Wednesday that has not been seen by the Justice Department, according to a spokesman for the former special counsel.

The statement, which will likely not be released until Mueller starts his testimony, did not have to be cleared through the Department of Justice and no officials from the department, including Attorney General William Barr, have seen the document, the spokesman said.

While the spokesman won't comment on how much or how long Mueller has been preparing, but would confirm that Wilmer Hale -- a Washington, DC law firm -- has allowed Mueller and "a small group of folks who worked with him at the special counsel's office" to use some unoccupied office space for the purposes of preparation.

Mueller has already failed. All this clown show will do is make Democrats look even worse

I still say he’s not showing up. Otherwise Andrew Weismann has to put his final touch on anything that comes out of Mueller’s mouth.

He doesn’t even have a right to testify without the White House approving it. This is pure executive privilege territory. Mueller only was a mere subordinate of the AG.

There's no way our SHADOW GOVERNMENT (Deep State) will allow our OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT access to read Der Mueller's opening statement.

I'll bet ya the Deep State MEDIA has possession of it already though.

This will be A CAREFULLY SCRIPTED DEEP STATE MEDIA PRODUCTION.

If the DOJ had see it, CNN would be screaming that it was a case of collusion, of undue interference by Donald Trump.

Mueller got on the clown car well before he held his 9.5 minute press briefing.

Well, the first draft probably didn’t come out too well with the Focus Groups so Nadless needed an extra week for the rewrite.

I think Nadless had the Stomach Surgery so he wouldn’t be as big a Target if he finally succeeds with the Coup.

Wilmer Hale has close ties to people who were in the Obama administration. I bet "office space" wasn't the main reason why Mueller was there.

So corrupt.

Send in Delta Force. An opportune time to round up all the coup-tistas in one fell swoop. Encircle the Capitol building and demand the Dems surrender for crimes committed daily against the people.

Well, here’s hoping the Republicans on the Committee are ready to eviscerate Mulehead should he imply that POTUS Trump did anything the Rats have accused him of.

Der Mueller will be ARRESTED Wednesday morning for insubordination and obstruction of justice in NOT allowing the DOJ to read/approve his statement in advance.

Then I woke up..

Since Weinstein is no longer there to write it, Mueller had to rely on Schumer, Pelosi and Nadless to write his opening remarks.

I think you meant Weissman. Weinstein runs the casting couch.

I know that this is pure fantasy land, but wouldn’t it just be great if Mueller came out and laid down some ground rules and started by saying “I am not a narrator, and I will not take requests to read passages from my report. If you have a questions about specific statements, passages, or portions of my written report, please read them yourself and then pointedly and concisely inquire as to what specifically you would clarified.”

All these congress goofs want is a reading on national TV, and they want to make Mueller into their puppet show host
