I Just Heard - Lindsay Graham Sent Letter To Mueller .....

saying something to the effect that if Mueller wants to testify before the Senate Committee - he can testify. Something about weighing in on Barr and his interpretation of the Report.

Well - I'm suspect here.

Why the change of heart here? - particularly when Trump says it's over - let's get on with business and Trump won't let anyone testify before the House Committee's.

Did they get to Mueller? Did they tell him what to say? Are they wanting to make Mueller be the one to say it's over?

What's up? I don't get it? Something fishy going on.

That jackass is compromised.

It would be near impossible to convince me otherwise.

...was that they want to get a read on him before he testifies before the Congress.

3. I think how Muller responds will be very telling. If he responds with no, then I agree something

and he should. Graham isn't inviting him to talk about his report. Just the phone call.

Fuck Miss Lindsey.

7. It looks bad if Barr testifies in the Senate but won't testify in the House while

the Senate says they're not even going to have Mueller testify ?? !!! ??

Trump-Barr-GOP Senate appear like the fix is in with them.

To cut their PR losses, maybe they think their chances are better if they try to discredit Mueller while he is before the Senate.

I'm not sure but I sure don't trust Lindsey Graham and his Kompromat.

8. Could be they know Mueller is going to testify to the house regardless

and Trump cannot stop it. I suspect Senate republicans are not going to be friendly to Mueller if he testifies there. I think their plan is to try betray Mueller as a liar so that way it's Mueller's word against Trump.

9. They want to discredit and spin the report

And drive home no crime. They want him to say it was up to Barr as to how to deal with the report. Is this to be an open hearing? Something’s rotten.

snippets coming out of the Congress. The Rethug Party is in major trouble as per their internal Polling data. The Barr dog and phony show did not go over well for them and Trump is killing them in a major way.
