Nadler says Mueller won't testify next week, is willing to use subpoena for testimony https://t.co/oM52NgCbfl pic.twitter.com/y08Ms9TCwl— The Hill (@thehill) May 10, 2019
On the flip side, the more problematic questions for Mueller are going to be asked by Republicans. There are possible ethical questions about his staff, there are likely embarrassing questions regarding the evidence he presents (that seem to parrot talking points while lacking prove), as well as other questions about the process that might do harm to Mueller's personal reputation and further taint his probe.
So while Democrats may be happy to trade Mueller's reputation for a few more digs at the President or William Barr, it's unlikely Mueller will want to make that trade. After all, Mueller and Barr have known each other for 30 years and are actually family friends. There is no reason to suspect he wants to get into a knock down drag out with his boss, or any real indication that he has a fight to actually make.
While Mueller may not like the President, he probably isn't wanting to take much personal abuse just to help Democrats land a few punches on the President. Will he testify? I would be shocked if it doesn't happen eventually. But it also doesn't shock me that he is not as eager as most liberals thought he would be.

Nadler now is Attacking Mueller.
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller will not testify before Congress next week, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said on Friday.
Nadler told reporters that he hopes not to have to subpoena Mueller to appear before lawmakers, but that he would do so if necessary. He declined to characterize ongoing negotiations between his committee, Mueller and the Justice Department."
Unless Mueller resigns, he will have to be subpoenaed to testify.
Odds are that Mueller doesn't want to be forced to testify in support of his boss, Barr.
If the congoing negotiations between his committee, Mueller and the Justice Department, result in the resignation of Mr. Mueller. The Democrats will be happy, the President will be scared shitless,and he will go on a Tweeter tirade, attacking Mueller and his investigation team. Scott A**hole will get on the Trump caravan and fire up the deep state conspiracy theories on steroids.
If he decides to follow the directions of his boss, under subpoena, he will be required to follow directions.
I prefer to let him tell us everything he can, within the law. As a private citizen.
But it also doesn't shock me that he is not as eager as most liberals thought he would be.
Scott, since he declined to prosecute the President, soly because of the Department of justice regulations, that doesn't mean that he won't have any bombshells.
We will see.
A lie:
"soly because of the Department of justice regulations"
You are a gutless coward.
Lol, Alky, so Mueller withheld information from his report so he could later drop the "bombshells"
Yep, Alky stupid.
You are a gutless coward
While you remain a goat fucking idiot with no visible means of support.....just like a whore!!!

The gals are invisible, including Peter Bunghole.
Goombah Rudolph W. Giuliani has been given free reign to go after those running against Trump in 2020.
After all after what Obama/Biden/Hillary pulled, there are NO more rules.
Objection of Justice
The Wall Street Journal reports!
WASHINGTON—Within a day of the release of the Mueller report last month, President Trump sought to have former White House counsel Don McGahn declare he didn’t consider the president’s 2017 directive that he seek Robert Mueller’s dismissal to be obstruction of justice, but Mr. McGahn rebuffed the request, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Trump has publicly denied asking Mr. McGahn to fire the Russia probe special counsel since the release of the report. Mr. Mueller’s report detailed that directive, and a subsequent request by Mr. Trump that Mr. McGahn deny that conversation ever happened, and said that Mr. McGahn rebuffed both. Last month, Mr. Trump tweeted: “If I wanted to fire Mueller, I didn’t need McGahn to do it, I could have done it myself.”
Privately, Mr. Trump asked White House special counsel Emmet Flood to inquire whether Mr. McGahn would release a statement asserting that he didn’t believe those interactions with the president—and Mr. Trump’s subsequent efforts to have Mr. McGahn deny news reports about that request—amounted to obstruction, the people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Flood didn’t respond to a request for comment.
William Burck, a lawyer for Mr. McGahn, said in a statement about the request: “We did not perceive it as any kind of threat or something sinister. It was a request, professionally and cordially made.”
Mr. McGahn turned down the request because he didn’t want to weigh in on the totality of evidence in the report beyond his own testimony, and didn’t want to comment on his own testimony in isolation, the people said. Mr. McGahn also didn’t view his personal opinion as relevant, because Attorney General William Barr had already said he didn’t believe the evidence in Mr. Mueller’s report amounted to obstruction of justice, the people said.

Mr. Flood, as he sought the statement from Mr. McGahn, pointed to previous assertions by Mr. Burck that if Mr. McGahn believed Mr. Trump had committed a crime, he would have resigned his post, the people said.
