12. The Senate and House investigations are quasi-political

Mueller's investigation is not.

I would prefer that all testimony be given at the special counsel's bequest. I understand that there are many, many good and decent Democrats in Congress on these committees that would act in the country's best interests, but I don't trust the Republicans as far as I can spit. From day one, they've tried to push the "who's the leaker?" scenario, or the "Chris Steele had an agenda" scenario as a diversion from the true investigation. The mere fact that Devin Nunes still presides over his committee, or Grassley his, tells me everything I need to know about these so-called Congressional investigations.

Mueller or bust. Let Congress get their mitts on these cretins AFTER they testify for Mueller, not before.
