Comey, Mueller in preliminary talks on Russia probe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — The negotiations over James Comey's testimony have begun. 

The former FBI director who was fired by President Trump has started preliminary discussions with special counsel Robert Mueller about his intention to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee about his communications with the president, as part of the panel’s ongoing inquiry into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, USA TODAY has learned. 

A close associate of Comey who is not authorized to comment publicly said Tuesday that Mueller is not expected to block the former director from appearing before the Senate panel. However, that appearance would occur only after Comey is fully debriefed for the federal investigation, the source said.

The panel previously announced that Comey, abruptly dismissed earlier this month as he was running the FBI's Russia investigation, agreed to testify following the Memorial Day holiday. No date has been set.

2. Golly, Mueller is moving faster than almost all Special Counsels and "what's the hold up"?

He's had less than two weeks to hire staff, make a budget, move into offices, establish goals, make assignments, ...

4. Just probably the general anxiety and frustration

That this all should just not even be happening and all these people need to be out of office yesterday.

5. I can certainly sympathize with the frustration. There's need for speed that Mueller seems to sense.
