Why is Mueller so silent? It seems during the Nixon and Clinton investigations there was

much discussion. In his silence others are filling in the blanks ... truthful or lies and fabrications. The country has so much angst. The silence is deafening. And the Republicans are silent, worried about their paychecks and 2020. The only one with any guts is Justin Amash. For the most part we have IMO a congress today mostly interested in their self interest, and the country is secondary for many, but not all.

He will speak at 11.00am

Here's the thing - once he speaks he can no longer deny the House of Representatives request for his presence at their hearing.
