Special counsel Robert Mueller will publicly testify in front of the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on July 17 following a subpoena, the panels’ chairmen said Tuesday.
“Pursuant to subpoenas issued by the House Judiciary and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence tonight, Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has agreed to testify before both Committees on July 17 in open session,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the Judiciary panel, and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the Intelligence panel, said in a joint statement issued late Tuesday.So there is little call from anyone to revisit this again. Mueller has already stated the obvious. Which is that what he wrote in his 440 page report is what he will testify to. Anyone thinking he will say something "other" than what he stated on the report (as far as conclusions) is engaged in wishful thinking.
As far as direct questions as to "why" he did or didn't go down a particular direction or investigate a particular person are not the sorts of questions that will help the Democrats politically. Or if asked to clarify certain things, it will also not work in their favor.
In fact, Democrats are likely setting themselves up to lose the only real TPM they took out of this, and that was to suggest that Mueller found same evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign, the Russian Government, and/or the Russians who committed the criminal action. Just not enough to press criminal charges.
I am quite certain when asked directly if his statement in page one of his executive summary is correct (that they found "NO" evidence) that he will reiterate such. If asked to explain the two different statements, he will, and that will undercut that whole line of reasoning.
Democrats would have been better off letting sleeping dogs lie. The idea of trying to bring this back into the spotlight is an act of desperation, more than anything else. The apparently cannot seem to let the whole issue go, and eventually they will be seen as obsessive.

Alan Dershowitz: Mueller shouldn’t tell Congress anything about Trump not already in his report
The irony of the Democratic subpoena directed at Mueller is that while he may not properly answer the kinds of questions Democrats would like him to answers – namely regarding possible evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump – the former special counsel can properly answer the kinds of questions Republicans would like to ask him, so long as this doesn’t require the disclosure of classified or other privileged information.
The Republican questions could involve the so-called Steele dossier – a report making unproven charges about Trump written by a former British spy and funded by the Clinton campaign. Republicans could also ask about possible misrepresentations made by federal officials to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that allowed the initial FBI investigation of the Trump campaign to begin, along with other issues that were not the subject of the Mueller investigation or report.
So Democrats should be careful about what they’re asking for. It may turn out that Mueller’s House testimony will backfire against the Democrats and help the Republicans.

Is today the first day of the junior varsity debates?
Wonder if their ratings will even register above the margin or error.
My bet is that Mueller saves comey and throws Brennan under the bus.

Huge. Ahead of the #DemDebate tonight, @realDonaldTrump purchased the Youtube masthead - one of the most expensive digital ad buys on the market. More people will see this ad placement than will watch tonight's debate.
