Listen to Robert Mueller's normal voice

I know there’s been some speculation about his voice in the latest video. In this clip you can hear how much more robust his voice really is. I can’t imagine the kind of pressure he’s been under for the last two years and especially in the last months.

believe it will continue. In the video it talks about what kind of work ethic he has and his methodology and his personality.

That can be disconcerting for anyone. Especially when one feels strongly that they are trying to do the right thing. Witness the 'lonely' Comey.

Which would give him more protection from Barr and Trump wanting to do something to retaliate.

I don’t believe Mueller would ever do anything underhanded or un-American, so to claim he will NOT testify before Congress may be his way of inviting Congress, with it’s power of oversight, to subpoena him. It’s illegal not to show up.

Impeachment and criminal cases un-American when it is not even clear exactly what conditions he
would put on testifying, or if he will stick by those. We know he looks years older since his tireless work and for now wants out.
He can be subpoenaed.
