Anticipation builds for Mueller testimony

Democrats' anticipation for public testimony by special counsel Robert Mueller is building by the minute.

The demands for Mueller to testify before Congress reached a new level of urgency this week, after internal correspondence was revealed to show Mueller objected to Attorney General William Barr's handling of his investigative findings in late March.

The revelations prompted Democrats to amplify their distrust of Barr over his disclosures about the Mueller report's remarks on obstruction of justice while whetting the appetite for testimony from the special counsel that now appears likely in the House later this month.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) stressed that the testimony is vital, given Mueller's evident frustrations with Barr's summary assessment of the 448-page report.

"I hope that he is desirous of testifying so that he can, from his perspective, talk to the American people, and to the representatives of the American people, on what his views are," Hoyer told reporters this week. "Clearly, this letter indicates that they are not being represented by Attorney General Barr."

approved and paid for the Mueller investigation, the end product, an un-redacted report should be presented as a demand, not a request to be ignored. imo

I don't have the feeling he will tell us what we are hoping to hear.

That's assuming he's allowed to testify at all. Don't get your hopes up.
