"SNIP....

“Sen. Lindsey Graham will give White House special counsel Robert Mueller a chance to tell his side of the story — but that isn’t the same as promising to let Mueller testify before his committee, as Democrats are demanding,” McClatchy reports.

“The South Carolina Republican sent Mueller a letter Friday inviting him to ‘provide testimony’ if there was ‘any misrepresentation’ in Attorney General William Barr’s recollection of conversations the two men had regarding characterizations of Mueller’s report on the two-year investigation into possible misconduct by President Trump.”

1. Glad Graham is going to 'let us'. What a great guy.

3. This is a stunt

They're demanding testimony on one narrow question only. When the testimony doesn't happen (why should it?) Republicans will claim this proves Barr is telling the truth.

House Democrats better make damn sure Mueller goes to them first before any nonsense before the Senate.

4. I think you are right.

7. Mueller's letter already says that his report was misrepresented

That can't change

18. I don't think he said that

We may be able to get some traction around language like “didn’t provide context” or that there was some “confusion” caused. However, if Mueller is really going to say that nothing in Barr’s letter was untrue… As is being reported, then we really can’t say “misrepresented “

6. Be sure to wear the nice blue dress, Lindsey

Donald thinks it looks great on you.

10. Open wide, Lindsey.....

Because the words coming out of your mouth will be all LIES.

[Mike Nelson]

8. This is an attempt to...

… "control the narrative" and I would not trust Lindsay to handle this problem - much better for the House of Reps to set the agenda.

9. I hope Graham is embarrassed that it came out he never read the full report

how can one be a chairman of the judiciary committee and not read the evidence?

[Hassler]

11. I thought Chump's caddie said this matter was closed.

Cheetolini and Vlad must have given Lindseed new orders.

12. Man, If I Roll My Eyes Any Harder I'll Look Like a Slot Machine....

Graham is full of shit.

He knows it.

We know it.

That guy really needs to go back down to Charleston and take a long walk off a short pier.

Fuck-all, Lindsay...get a runnin' start if you want...

[Freethinker65]

13. No. Graham wants the Senate GOP to assassinate Mueller's character.

Graham is taking orders from, and obeying, Trump.

Graham will attack Mueller with whatever talking points the WH gives him. I expect the gist will be it was all Obama, Hillary, and the Democratic Party's fault for a myriad of nonsensical and conflicting reasons and Mueller is negligent for not investigating those GOP created leads. The hope is that something will stick long enough and they will get some good sound bites for the media to chase it.

The GOP in the House will also try to accomplish the same, but Nadler has control there. There is a reason Graham now chairs the Senate committee instead of Grassley. Since McCain's death, Graham is a Trump loyalist.

14. Mueller should refuse to testify to the Senate.

[UTUSN]

15. Typically weasel framing from Teh Lindsey

[duforsure]

16. Graham knows

He wasn't going to testify before the Senate anyway. So he's blowing smoke .

17. How fkn white of him to follow the law.
