Schiff: Congress is 'running out of time' to have Mueller testify
NBC News ^ | 6/23/19 | Allan Smith

Posted on 06/23/2019 4:59:16 PM PDT by Libloather

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday that Congress is "running out of time" to have former special counsel Robert Mueller testify, adding that he hopes a "final conclusion" is reached on his possible testimony "this week."

"We have been in private discussions with the special counsel's office," Schiff told CNN's "State of the Union." "It is not clear that he will refuse to come in voluntarily; we are negotiating what the conditions of that appearance might be. But yes, we are running out of time."

"I hope that we'll reach that decision this week because we want to have him come in during July and I think that's going to be the case ... whether it is voluntary or involuntary by subpoena," Schiff added. He told CNN last week that he wants Mueller to testify before the August recess.

Someone please tell Schiffty that John Dean just got done testifying about Watergate a few short weeks ago. There's PLENTY of time.

Actually, it’s Adam Schitt who is running out of time. His 15 minutes of fame is just about over.

He can Schit be in discussions with the “special counsel’s” office when Mueller shut it down weeks ago when he cleared the “suspect”?

Do we still have Clinton lawyers drawing a paycheck in some office in DC?

the once-great state of Californication has sent so many total losers to Washington, it defies imagination...
PeLOUSY, Mad Maxine Waters, Schifty, Feinstein, (the ineligible) Harris, etc...

the state is a giant embarrassment

I’ll bet Schiff is lying (I know. Easy call.) No way he’s in talks with Mueller. Schiff knows it would be a PR nightmare for Mueller to be questioned in open committee.

"[W]e are negotiating what the conditions of that appearance might be"

For sure!   Schiff wants to green-light the "serious inquiry areas" of Dems' likely questions and keep Mueller from having to answer Republicans' "sources, methods and other nosiness areas." Then both HPSCI and Mueller will be "cooking with gas."

Exactly right. Shiff’s sense of urgency is because after the recess, he knows the public hysteria they’ve created will be gone and with it their whole case.

Has no one told Adam that it would be a disaster if they let Mueller testify.

Pencilneck has to be feeling the pucker factor. The one running out of time is Chairman Linda Graham. He promised devastating hearings, and all we hear is crickets. These MOABS need to land on target well before November 2020. The opposition is expert at stalling for time, and the good guys are now also dragging their feet. Have Linda’s hearings hit the Senate schedule?

I though the Special Council’s Office was closed down when the report was turned over to the AG.

I don’t understand why Schiff frequently appears in public wearing a tinfoil hat. Hasn’t anyone told him how stupid it makes him look ?

We have been in private discussions with the special counsel's office," Schiff told CNN's

Wasn't the special counsel's office shut down two weeks ago?

Maybe that is why he is not getting any return calls?

...and, Schiff said, “Hold on just a minute Bob while I give a statement to make these low info fools think we actually want you to testify”...”What’s that Bob(?)...how can I say that stuff with a straight face(?)...hey, I’m a B.S. lifer, so it comes natural by now.”

‘Rats after whipping their base into a frenzy with the promise of getting rid of Trump via Mueller, impeachment or any other means are now coming face to face with the truth that it’s not going to happen, and have to try to let their people down without too much of a bump lest the mob come looking for them with torches and pitchforks......
