If the Mueller report becomes part of the Senate trial.

Could Mueller, his investigators and anyone named in the report be called to testify?

If so, I would like to see the prosecution attack Trump from two directions. The Russia conspiracy and the Ukraine conspiracy. After all, it's all connected.

If the American public could only appreciate the synergy between these two scandals it might evoke the outrage it properly deserves. The third prong, though, is that anything that helps Russia helps Trump, and hurting Ukraine helps Russia (and gives Ukraine no choice but the help Trump). Where is the outrage at the big picture?

Moscow Mitch controls the whole thing, and I'm guessing that he will be very selective about who testifies. I'm not sure how much impact the Dems will have. Hope I'm wrong.

You stated in your report that you DO NOT feel tRUMP is innocent. What were you thinking when this was written?

If the Republicans object, it will be up to the Chief Justice to determine if they should testify.
