May 15th has passed... Why hasn't Mueller been called to testify yet?

1. "Executive privilege". n/t

2. Real good question.

And obviously one of the reasons Congress is fine w setting dates out 3-4 weeks at a time, they hope we'll forget, or just will get so beat down, that, we just shrug our shoulders and start shopping for russian/American flags on Amazon. The good news is they're both red,white,and blue.

4. They need to subpoena him now. Pathetic that he is not coming forward on his own.

Where is the courage he showed in Vietnam? Why is he still working for Barr? He has a great retirement check. He doesn't need the money. Is it because his wife and Barr's wife are Sunday school buddies?

7. Seriously, settle down

10. I'm fine. What is your problem? nt

5. perhaps it is better to have McGahn and Bill Barr testify first, before Mueller gets there. nt

6. Now he's saying he doesn't want to testify publicly.

Doesn't want to appear "political".

11. Hmmmm where have we heard that before?

Let me think, oh yeah!

Comey.

And I have lived my entire career by the tradition that if you can possibly avoid it, you avoid any action in the run-up to an election that might have an impact, whether it’s a dog-catcher election or President of the United States. But, as I sat there that morning, I could not see a door labelled ‘no action here.’ I could see two doors, and they were both actions. One was labelled ‘speak’ and the other was labelled conceal.

13. Yep. Made me think of Comey too. nt

12. Looks like he cares more about his reputation with the GOP than the country, just like Comey.

I guess he doesn't want his wife ostracized by Barr's wife, her Sunday School buddy.

Comey did that ludicrous press conference bashing Hillary and sent out the outrageous October 28, 2016 letter, that cost her the election, all to try to stave off criticism of him by conservatives.

Fuck these cowardly Republican assholes. This is no time to be Switzerland. Not choosing a side IS choosing a side, namely, the bad side. As Elie Wiesel said,

"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

Another Wiesel gem:

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference."

Mueller has finished his inquiry. Now it is time for him to act on it to help save his country's democracy. No sane person could remain "neutral" after reading the facts of the Mueller report.

14. and yet...

he hasn't said anything at all. Sources close to someone close to the Mueller "team", are saying something that someone wants them to say.
