thoughts on Mueller testifying

Evidently, Mueller has an obsession with appearing apolitical to the point of being eccentric. He doesn't want his testimony to turn into a spectacle, but there are going to be some questions, that however he answers them, it is going to be explosive. Unfortunately, he is the final arbiter of what comes out of his mouth. If he is forced to testify publicly, it may influence what he says. What he comes out with in his opening statement might be very revealing. If he wants to answer questions in a closed hearing, I think they should let him do it. The news media is going to report on anything that is that is exposing.

I want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Nothing more, and nothing less. I'm not as particular about the format as some others on this board have been feeling.
