1. If only there was some sort of formalized inquiry that would make these requests stronger

2. Barr won't let Mueller

testify. Nadler is following the correct procedure with continued talks with the DOJ. After talks have been exhausted, subpoena would be the next step.

There is a process that the House need to do first because all of this obstruction will eventually wind up in court or in the alternative . . impeachment proceedings.

I prefer to Nadler's tweet not the Hill.

3. The other night Nadler told Rachel Maddow

that Mueller and he were working on a May15th meeting and that being employed at the DOJ doesn't matter regarding Mueller's ability to testify. So what's the problem? Why isn't Mueller willing to do this? Why force Nadler to issue a subpoena and waste more time?

4. The half truths in this article are disturbing

Mueller ultimately did not find evidence to charge members of Trump’s campaign

That's because he didn't actually look. Based on the evidence in the report with respect to the trump tower Moscow and the trump tower meeting in NY, there is no evidence to support an actual investigation into the specifics of that deal, no counter-intelligence or that witnesses were cooperating enough to determine what actually happened, one way or the other.

It's why Mueller said this on pg 2 Volume I:

A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts.

Or this pg.12, Vol I:

n the course of conducting that investigation, the Office periodically identified evidence of potential criminal activity that was outside the scope of the Special Counsel's authority established by the Acting Attorney General

Or the best quote in the whole thing, pg.76, Vol I:

the evidence does indicate that a thorough FBI investigation would uncover facts about the campaign and the President personally that the President could have understood to be crimes or that would give rise to personal and political concerns.

Its not as straightforward as some make it out to be.
