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.”

He will never be charged with perjury because he will never testify. That is exactly why he won’t testify, that’s the reality of the situation.

Schiff runs the committee. He can set up rules for questioning anyway he wished as long as his members vote to support him. He can arrange it so that no republican members can question Mueller. It would be Muller’s press conference on steroids.

The Republicans can do some damage asking Muelldog questions. Possible Perjury .

Yep - like: "We recently found cases of you and your team altering source information to make an innocent President look guilty - how many times did you and/or your team alter your 'evidence'"?
