Telling the facts is NOT a political act..Muellers' hesitancy

Mueller is reportedly hesitant to testify because he does not want to look political... there is nothing political about the facts.. the facts are just that.... facts..

13. The report says he was stymied from getting all the facts, to come to a charging conclusion.

It's repeated often in volume 1. How do we get the rest of the facts if witnesses don't show up, including him?

This is a story planted by either Rudy Ghouliani or the Trump WH. It's to get the idea out that any testimony by Mueller could be perceived as "political." It's all they've got. It's a witch hunt, a hoax, politically motivated by conflicted Mueller and 12, 13, 14 how many ANGRY Democrats??

Doesn't strike me as credible that this came from Mueller.

when we have only seen what Barr allowed us to see?

We have not been allowed to see Mueller's summaries. Congress has not been allowed to see the entire Mueller report, which includes the grand jury information.

9. So a counsel doesn't want to speak because he'll appear to be bias with one side or the other?

11. We own the report. We paid for it. Enough horsing around. If it was so explosive

why is nobody in jail? Bc the redacted parts implicate trump flynn, and the whole family? Too bad. It's time for a national airing.
Is there anything else he requires? Bowl of strawberries and white wine? This is getting ridiculous, Should've already happened on the 15th. What we do know, is we have a president talking about more presidential terms than legal.
