Since Mueller is still a DOJ employee, when he testifies he won't be

any longer. Rachel Maddow just mentioned this. Barr testifies Wed and Thurs this week, then Mueller is possibly going to next week. I guess Nadler will be sure to have Mueller testify when he isn't employed by the DOJ and he won't have that influence his answers. Is this how it is going to go?

Congress can get him to testify regardless of DOJ status. Apparently Congress can do a lot and they can have anyone they want testify. The constitution is on our side. This was unanimous and it isn't opinion. Also, several senators have already called for Barr to resign and for impeachment hearings to start. This news has definitely lit a fire today.

Congress should fine and jail them ASAP! They CAN do that and they should. Maybe that will scare the shit out of a few of them. Make an example of the first person and the rest will follow. They need to be like Sen. Ervin during Watergate.
