Schiff: Mueller Has ‘Duty’ to Testify Before Congress, Subpoena Possible
Breitbart ^ | 02 Jun 2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/02/2019 10:48:11 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” House Intelligence chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said special counsel Robert Mueller had a “duty” to testify before Congress about his investigation into the 2016 election.

Schiff said, “I was disappointed to see such a profound reluctance to testify. I understand that. I think he has one last service to perform. It’s not enough merely to speak for 10 minutes and say, ‘I’m not going to answer questions for Congress and the American people.’ There are a great many things that are not in the report.”

He continued, “We want to find out what happened to those counterintelligence findings that were sent back to headquarters. And in terms of if the president is vulnerable of influence from Russia. Why the president can’t criticize Putin or take adequate steps to protect our elections. The American people have every need to have answered here. I hope Bob Mueller will answer, as painful as it may be, he has a final duty here to perform. Like any other witness and it’s my hope he’ll do so and it’s my hope that he’ll do so voluntary.”

Stephanopoulos asked, “If he doesn’t, subpoena?”

Schiff said, “That would be my recommendation. That’s decision we’ll have to make collectively and our leadership when there’s use of compulsion, because it may lead to litigation. That’s not how this process for Bob Mueller should end. He’s a dedicated public servant.”

Ole Shiffy needs to be careful for what he wishes for, though knowing Mueller is in the tank for Obama, Clinton and every other left wing radical, he could just refuse to answer, or say that he can’t recall.

Its all for show. Schiff for brains knows the last he wants is to have the entire witch hunt deconstructed before his committee. Bug eyes knows Mueller would be in a position of telling the truth or ensnarling himself in a perjury trap. The only way Mueller will testify is if he is dragged, screaming and kicking, before a Durham grand jury.

Schiff could have a rally big surprise if he gets indicted for leaking confidential information. Would he be excluded from sitting on the committee, if that happens? Because I think he could lose his security clearance, and that is required for that committee IIRC.

I’d like to expose the Mueller , Clinton,Bush, McCain connections and JFK too.I’m hoping Trump made a promise to John Jr. years ago.

It could be a lot of fun if they subpoena Mueller, President Trump should Authorize a few select Congressman to Release Un-Redacted Classified material during their questioning of Mueller.

Meuller would never be charged with perjury. You people need to get real. Nothing is going to happen to any of the traitors. It’s Trump against everyone else. Including his staff.

Hey Adam can the Republican's use lawyers to ask Mueller questions?

Off the top of my head I'm thinking diGenova & Toensing for starters.

Hope Mueller has to spend his new-found fortune on lawyers.

Good grief.

He’s already made his position crystal clear.

Is Schiff on/off some medication that he needs?

Received on an email chain today ---
A Wyoming rancher's summary of the Mueller report and Democrats' hapless ongoing efforts in one sentence:

"While we recognize that the subject did not actually steal any horses, he is obviously guilty of trying to resist being hanged for it."

Has he got a surprise coming.
He's got a surprise coming alright.

Schiff is too stupid for words to describe. He's like AOC stupid.

I'm thinking there's going to be a shitstorm of hate mail from Mueller to the dimwits Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff and all the rest for putting him on the spot. Making an even bigger fool and suspect than he's trying not to be.

Keep it up Adam you're doing the country a favor, you ignorant slut.

Mulehead should testify. Republicans have many questions and want answers.

There is a reason he does not want to testify. Schitt is too dumb to realize how this will backfire on him.

Headquarters? You mean ValJar or Obama Headquarters?

Oh BTW, Don't anyone think for one minute that that little Iranian C&*t isn't up to her eyeballs in this fraud on the nation.

You're not seeing her name YET, but just wait. Someone is going to throw her under the bus to protect Obama.

Another snarky little C&*t that I think knows more than she's pretending is Marie Harf. Don't be surprised to see that little C&*t's name come up too.

I think this is smokescreen the Rats don’t want Mueller testifying it was part of the deal he made to put on that little show last week. If he does it not be public or the Rats will rig it so the republicans will be handcuffed.

Schiff heard Mueller speak the same words I did. Mueller said his testimony will be no more than what was in the report. It seems that it would be a waste of time to subpoena him. If they get him to testify by subpoena, the democrats will hack at how he got his evidence, the choices he made, and the like. That is why they want him to testify. Schiff is a jackass!
