After the hearing, the Chair Lindsey Graham says-- "this is over!" & will NOT call Mueller

Mueller will be on television before House Democrats and speak the truth republicans are fearful of hearing.

At the end of the session, chairman Lindsey Graham said he plans to write a letter to special counsel Robert Mueller, inviting him to speak to the committee.

"I'm going to ask him, 'Is there anything you [Barr] said about that conversation that he disagrees with?' And if there is, he can come and tell us," Graham said.

"I'm going to give him a chance to correct anything you said that he finds misleading or inaccurate and that will be it," he said.

After the hearing was over, reporters caught up with Sen. Graham, who then said he’s not bringing Mueller before Senate Judiciary. "It’s over," the chairman said.

an about face in the Senate and impeachment could become a very real possibility. Mueller's letter has now shown that he will not cover for them. Having said that there is no way think I think Graham will do that. There will suddenly be more pressing issues. Also I hope someone forewarned Donny that "Trump is a fucking idiot" was coming otherwise he's not going to be too happy with Lindsey. I'm convinced what is actually in the Mueller Report is enough to take out Trump and his entire grifter fucking family.

... telling him exactly what to do. That's why we're seeing all the snit-fits.

a lot of his constituents but they'd still reelect him. I do think he probably took money from the wrong people.

Ok if you say so, Mr. Graham.

Not that we didn't already know that he was an idiot, but by declaring he's done, he's leaving all remaining publicity to democrats.

Barr and Mueller will appear before House committees.

Of course, maybe by saying "this is over" he's just stating that he understands that today went so badly that it's now clear that Trump is sunk, and he'll be taking much of the republican party down with him.

"its over", we dont need to hear from the guy who conducted the investigation but what we really need to be looking into is a case about emails that the FBI investigated and came to a conclusion 3 years ago.
