The special counsel's team has expressed the notion that Mueller does not want to appear political after staying behind the scenes for two years and not speaking as he conducted his investigation into President Donald Trump. One option is to have him testify behind closed doors, but sources caution numerous options are being considered in the negotiations between the committee and the special counsel's team.
Justice officials are generally supportive of how the special counsel's team is proceeding with negotiations. As Attorney General Bill Barr told The Wall Street Journal last week: "It's Bob's call whether he wants to testify."
Special counsel spokesman Peter Carr and the Justice Department declined to comment on the current status of negotiations.

I think it's subpoena time for Mueller, if true.

(2,785 posts)I don't believe for one second Barr wants Mueller to testify. The way this article is worded makes me think their source is a member of Trump's justice department and therefore untrustworthy.

(11,288 posts)So tired of hearing Mueller is above reproach and he'll defend the Constitution. Either Trump's not that bad or Mueller's not that good.

(9,670 posts)Democrats did not turn this into a political debacle. Trump, Barr and the GOP Congress have used your silence to insert their own- political - insinuations. The American people have been misled, and only you can set the record straight. Your appointment as special counsel made this testimony inevitable. Tell us the truth, Bob, or let the criminal conspiracy win. America's future lays in the balance.
