Richard Ben-Veniste, a former Watergate prosecutor, told The Independent that any effort to keep Mr Mueller from testifying is likely to fail. And, the more it looks like Mr Trump and his team are resisting that effort – resisting the effort for Americans to hear “the truth”, as Ms Pelosi might put it – the more it will hurt the 45th president.
“I think ultimately Robert Mueller will testify, and that the more the president and his attorney general seek to delay or derail Mueller’s public testimony the more of a political price it will pay in the court of public opinion where people will be asking the logical question: what is the president hiding?” Mr Ben-Veniste said.
He continued: “Why does he fear Mr Mueller’s testimony before a congressional committee that obviously has the ability to provide bipartisan questioning?”
For her part, Ms Pelosi noted that those Watergate investigations into Richard Nixon also took time. Presidents aren’t impeached overnight, just like the Philadelphia 76ers didn’t build itself into a playoff calibre team overnight.
It takes time, and it takes a process.

President Trump would love to have mueller testify. The Republicans can ask him some incredibly embarrassing questions which he will not be able to answer.
Mueller will never testify.
As The “Report” becomes deconstructed against all of the known facts, it is starting to fall apart as a total partisan hack job.
If it turns out that GPS Fusiion and Steele had a hand in its fabrications, it’s total burnt toast.
delusional stupid a##es
... and the Democrats' chief counsel on the Senate Whitewater Committee investigating Bill and Hillary Clinton. In other words a lying liberal leftist partisan.
Democrats are obstructing Barr’s investigation of Democrat abuse of power and wiretapping under Obama.
Deep Throat was sentenced to prison for spying on the Weather Underground.
My recollection of Richard B-V is that of a sweaty big city lawyer. Emphasis on sweaty.
This guy has been a deep state rear hole for half a century.
Mueller hasn’t even been officially asked. Mueller can do what he wants.
Once a Mo...Ron, always a Mo...Ron
It’s clear why there has been such a concerted effort to silence any non-Mainstream voices on Facebook, Twitter and even on Fox News.
At this point the average American who doesn’t really pay close attention is continuously hearing that Trump obstructed justice and really did collaborate with the Russians, without any dissenting opinions to that narrative. Trump’s own Twitter feed is really the only contrasting point of view available, and boy would the Left like to silence that.
RATs are full of feces. They will be the ones who will pay the price for their sedition and treason.
At this point Jr could tell them to pound it or show up, be disrespectful, level accusations, call them crooked, and create a general spectacle.
Where did this nincompoop get the idea that Trump is keeping Mueller from testifying?
Hmmm.
Seems they neglected to mention that in the news article.
Just an innocent oversight, I’m sure.
Oh nooo, Br’er. Waddler, don’t throw Trump into that ole Mueller-testimony briar patch...
The backpedaling to re-spin it against Trump would be an hilarious thing to behold.
The Rats are afraid of Jim Jordan and some others grilling Mueller..
And we should care what he thinks because of what he did 40 years ago?
