Adam Schiff Regrets Making Robert Mueller Testify: Book
Newsweak ^ | Oct 10, 2021 | Adam Schiff

Posted on 10/10/2021 6:06:48 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

The following is taken from Adam Schiff's book, Midnight in Washington. In this extract, he recalls Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony in 2019.

Ever since the release of the Mueller report, my staff had been in contact with his team to arrange for his appearance. Mueller was deeply reticent.....

I winced at the sight of this and turned to my Democratic colleagues. It was heartbreaking to see Mueller, this person whom I so admired, having difficulty answering some of the most basic questions. Even on a bad day, Mueller had been capable of performing better than ninety-nine percent of the witnesses I had heard testify in my decades of public service. But this was not the Bob Mueller I knew. Two years had brought a striking change, and I suddenly understood not only his own reluctance to testify, but the protective instincts of his dedicated staff. Had I known how much he had changed, I would not have pursued his testimony with such vigor—in fact, I would not have pursued it at all.

We would have to scrap everything we had planned to ask and prepare instead for a very different interview. "We need to cut our questions down," I told my colleagues. "We have to cut the number and the length." Instead of open-ended questions to prompt fully developed answers, we would pose the shortest and most direct questions possible. "No questions calling for a narrative answer," I told them. "No multipart questions. If you think your question may be too long, it is. Cut it down." The members pored through their materials with a sense of urgency, flipping the pages, crossing out lines, simplifying the language. I was rushing to do the same.

What's confirmed from Schiff's words is that the truth was never part of the investigation, it was all about setting the stage to get Trump impeached.

You’re going to eventually regret that a lot more than you realize and a whole lot more. It’s just a matter of time.

With all that slime oozing out of his pores, it’s a wonder he’s able to write at all.

Schiff admits he never spoke to Mueller. But the senate intel committee did. And no one told schiff mueller was damaged goods?

My schadenfreude for Schitt’s crocodile tears knows no bounds. I, for one, am pleased that Mueller’s senile incompetence was exposed to the world. It simply laid the groundwork for the current president. It shows the whole world the craven incompetence of the Left. It’s just too bad that it hasn’t been stopped, yet.

Not quite. The DNC has already purchased several hundred thousand of them and has already stashed the in a cave somewhere.

“Director Mueller, is Orange Man Bad?” lol Mueller had one simple job in their eyes, and he failed miserably.

The Democrats, because of their nefarious conduct, are learning to avoid transparency.

This book along with many other Democrat books will be warehoused in every DC basement, garage, shed, pool house and spare bedroom.Estate sales in DC have boxes and boxes of them. They should use them for fire starters this winter.

How it works. Get someone else to write. Book for you, claim you wrote it.

Get someone who wants favorable $$$ related legislation you can deliver or protection you can offer , or info that keeps others safe and you get $$ advances on sales knowing they will never occur.

The game goes on and on ....

Just another example of privilege afforded by being a member of the club.

I have been waiting for Hillary’s book to show up on a table, in a dollar store near me. I guess your explanation is why that hasn’t happened yet.
