Mueller wants to avoid 'political spectacle' of public testimony: Nadler

Special counsel Robert Mueller is eager to avoid the politics swirling around his investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia's 2016 influence efforts and doesn't want to testify publicly on Capitol Hill about his findings, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Thursday.

"He doesn't want to be public in what some people will regard as a political spectacle, I think," Nadler said in an interview with MSNBC, confirming reports from ABC News and other outlets about House Democrats pushing back on DOJ's offer for limited Mueller testimony.

"He's willing to make an opening statement, but he wants to testify in private," he said. "We think it's important for the American people to hear from him and to hear his answers to questions about the report."

"There may be certain aspects involving classified information that we'll need to have in closed session," Schiff said.

Then why all of the screaming about an unredacted report when they can see it in private? Schiffty trying to have it both ways? Of course.

Chicken!

[a fool in paradise]

Says the silly Commie faggot who tweets about mysteries and Trump and spread lies about a Russian pee pee video.

[a fool in paradise]

ERROR - Was thinking Comey, not Mueller.

Not much difference between these figures.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Obama, ZERO, Schumer, ZERO, Pelosi, ZERO, Nadler, REALLY ZERO, Schiff, REALLY ZERO. Mueller wants no part of these low life scum & vermin pieces of humanity...Case Closed!!!

[a fool in paradise]

Will he be under oath?

[American in Israel]

Two years of lawfare and 30 million dollars later, yea slinking away quietly would appeal.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

He's afraid of cross examination.

The Mueller Report was an ex parte brief by angry Democrats, more interesting for what it excluded than what it contained. It would be interesting to see if he would stand up half as well under hostile questioning as Barr. Doubt it.

The Democrats' reaction to Trump's declassification order shows they are the ones who are covering up.

I realize I am overcome with cynicism BUT if PDJT wanted to release the Mueller report the LIBs would be telling him he couldn’t because the law says he couldn’t.

I don’t think the LIBs are all that keen on having Mueller ‘testify’ either, I don’t believe they will want to take the chance and of having Mueller give the same findings as Barr came up with.

Much like ‘they’ wanted the weasel lawyers ‘question’ witnesses, taking away a lot of the ‘risk’ of Barr tripping them up -

The libs are so incensed and enraged with hate/fear/idiocy they are ‘leading with their chin’ and an old ‘street fighter’ like PDJT will kickem in the gonads before landing the knockout blow on that double chin.

I think Pelosi realizes Trump is basically out of reach and the rest of the pack of jackals want at him anyway before he ‘releases the killer hounds’ and when proof positive is really laid out to the public ESPECIALLY when it is proven he was correct all along about the witch hunt, people will be demanding Congress do something constructive (been a long time since they have enacted anything that wasn’t anti trump or anti straight white men).

When one can sit down and sort out the D committee ‘leadership’ you can get an insight to what BOscare will really be like it it can get a firm foothold.

When you can have such an assortment of losers, idiots and miscreants leading Congressional committees, ie Waters, Schiff, Cummings, Nadler and the rest of the ‘Star Wars Bar Scene’ it makes ‘screwy’ novels like ‘Catch 22’ seem like it really could have happened that way no matter how outlandish you believe the behavior to be.

I am within 75 miles of DC and it used to be a ‘bad place’ to live because it was considered well within possible annihilation by being in ‘ground zero’.

But I do not believe ANY ENEMY worth its salt would want to lay a hand on the Congressional & Senatorial ‘leadership’ and body because WE may finally replace them with people who have a clue.

Much like J Biden was BOs ‘insurance policy’ having the PRESENT Congress sitting in DC makes this area just a tad bit ‘safer’.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

First question I would ask Herr Mueller: “What date did you first realize there was NO COLLUSION between the Trump campaign and Russia?”

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

xrmusn :"..within 75 miles of DC and it used to be a ‘bad place’ to live
because it was considered well within possible annihilation by being in ‘ground zero’."

It is no longer the annihilation zone,
because the charley is already within the gates.
The Nadler/Mueller coup needs to be public, under oath,
since it has been such a public spectacle thus far.

[CatOwner]

Yes, make it private, so the DEMs can lie about what Mueller said.

[MayflowerMadam]

Mueller will lie. It’s what “they” do naturally, and what they’ll do to save their asses. The threat of perjury won’t be a problem: they don’t care. Mueller, et al., will skate.

"He envisions himself correctly as a man of great rectitude and apolitical and he doesn't want to participate in anything that he might regard as a political spectacle,




especially if Republicans on the committee start asking him questions about the beginning of the -- about this stuff, the beginning of the investigation,"

COLOSSAL LIAR Nadler said.

So, Mueller thinks he's entitled to testify behind closed doors! I think Robert Swan Mueller III has been secretive enough for the past 2 years, don't y'all?

Nadler claims Mueller is concerned about Republican questions with regard to the origins of his lofty investigation ... (How about that?)

We already know that Nadler and his co-conspirators are solely interested in pursuing "obstruction of justice" queries.

Certainly Mr. Mueller, the "apolitical man of great rectitude" is ready to defend, illuminate or thoroughly discuss his 10 "obstruction of justice" scenarios he (or Weissman) ceremoniously added to his report!

As for any concerns Mr. Mueller may have about uncomfortable questions from Republicans, pshaw! He's a big boy and perfectly capable of answering truthfully, right?

What's to fear? The truth shall set you free!

[ryderann]

But making a public political spectacle of Bob Kraft was fine and dandy.

[CincyRichieRich]

That tells you all you need to know...testifying will only help PDJT.

[duckman]

Has to be an open hearing. After all he used $30 mil of our money. We need to see him under oath. IMO

[ronnie raygun]

So he’s concerned about being ruined, much like he did his whole carrer and go nad jerry feels for him, no demnads
