Subpoena Mueller

Too many unanswered questions still hanging.
I don't care if he claims he's not going to talk, call him in.

Why didn't he look at his finances?
Why didn't he interview directly the family and tRump?
Those are just starters.


And I am amazed by how many here on the DU are defending his statement to not talk about this report.

1. He probably won't need to be subpoenaed - he already said he's willing to testify

And no one is "defending his statement to not talk about this report" because he never made such a statement. In fact, he said just the opposite - that if he testifies, he'll ONLY testify about what's in the report.

5. "He needs to be asked the questions I presented and more" You don't make the rules, either

But that wasn't my point. You claimed that Mueller said that he wouldn't testify about his report. That's false. He didn't say that. In fact, he said the exact opposite.

I wasn't clear.

He said he'd talk about what's "in" the report and not "about" the report or the investigation itself I guess.

10. The Transcripts say Mueller said total opposite (link and quote)

And the report is my testimony. I would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress.

4. If he's not the source of all knowledge, he can be the table of content

Mr. Muller, Can you point to the section of your report that would call for criminal charges, if it weren't for the OLC letter?

Please read for us, in any order, the sections of your report that say Trump is an insufferable prick who should be impeached...

Were you finished with your investigations, or did Bob Barr tell you to close shop?

6. I am persuadable, I guess. He's saying just go with what he gave us. I think

the questions you raise are important and good though. I just wonder, if he is steering us toward - forget about Barr, forget about the process - I gave you enough. Strikes me that the joint statement DOJ - Barr/Mueller, was in kind. Forget about US, keep your eyes on prize?? Nevertheless, hope we don't get too bogged down on this and just fucking impeach. Have thought that since day one. Impeach, let them squelch it, let them go on record as no, and move the fuck on. Move on immediately to protecting the 2020 election/
