Mueller needs to testify in public and in private for this reason. [View all]

There are many things Mueller will not be able to talk about in public. Classified information, on going investigations, grand jury testimony, etc. All that should be done in private.

Mueller should testify in public for this reason. Trump and Barr are in public everyday lying, attacking the investigation. They call it a witch hunt, a hoax. Barr misled the public on Muellers report. This must be countered in public by Mueller. The people need to see it and hear from Mueller.

He needs to tell the people why this is not a witch hunt or a hoax. He needs to give his own summary of his report. If this is not done in public Trump and Barr will continue to win the public messaging battle. If Mueller testifies in public the news media will have video to use to counter Trump and Barr whenever they try to mislead the people in public.

Mueller testifying in public at the very least levels the playing field.
