What is the rationale for the delay?
The House Judiciary Committee is discussing delaying public testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller one week until July 24 to allow more time for Mueller to testify, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The agreement to delay the hearings in exchange for extended testimony is not finalized, the sources said, and lawmakers are still negotiating.
Mueller has been scheduled to appear on July 17 before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, in back-to-back sessions where 22 members from each committee would get to question the special counsel.
But the plan sparked an uproar from members on the Judiciary Committee in both parties over the limited time the special counsel was expected to testify, which would have shut out roughly half the panel from asking questions of Mueller.

Acosta has been forced to resign for his part in the Epstein sweetheart deal scandal... I'm sure Mueller knows far more than Acosta about what really went on in crafting that deal, and I'm sure Mueller was far more culpable than Acosta.
So are we just rearranging the chairs on deck? Or is perhaps Mueller now in the hotseat? (I wish...)
