"Stripping the intel leaders of their ability to control information about sources and methods, and handing that power to political actors, could cause human agents to question whether their identity will be protected," Jeremy Bash tells Post. "This is dangerous territory."

House Judiciary Chairman Nadler tells @maddow that Robert Mueller wants to testify but only in private with a transcript released to the public. Nadler says Mueller doesn’t want to participate in a televised open hearing that could be a spectacle.

Nadler confirms our reporting from earlier this week. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/21/politics/robert-mueller-testify-congress-negotiations/index.html … He has since rejected no fewer than half a dozen attempts in the halls to discuss this with him since then.

IMHO Robert Mueller is not going to testify.

Just a few of the reasons.....

He didn’t write the report, probably doesn’t know much that is in it, perjury too easy.

Doesn’t want to have to answer pubbie questions on when he knew there was no collusion.

They never dreamed that Barr would say sure he can testify, I have no problem with it.

Wanted Barr to object so they could use that as proof of obstruction.
