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.
