Via the Washington Post:
Former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III will testify to Congress in a public session next month about his investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential campaign and possible obstruction of justice by President Trump, a reluctant witness long sought by House Democrats.
The House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, in an announcement late Tuesday, said that “pursuant to a subpoena,” Mueller has agreed to appear before both panels on July 17. Mueller, who oversaw the 22-month inquiry, is perhaps the one person lawmakers and the nation have been wanting to hear from the most.
I wonder what the betting is on Trump doing something to divert attention: bomb Iran? Make out with Kim Jong-un? Read aloud from Uncle Wiggly?
But the Democrats are still looking for that magic incantation that will make everything easy instead of just finding a spine. Mueller’s testimony won’t change anything.
I’m with Pelosi . . . fire up the base, make sure all who can vote do so and get rid of the monster the usual way, vote him out of office. I think that’s where most of the caucus is too. Impeachment will only harden the support for him from the Deplorables as it did when Bill Clinton was made a martyr. We can’t risk that in 2020.
