Yay
He gets to say in public he recommended no charges agsinst trump!
Winning!

Like every single move they make, it will hurt the dEms. A lot.

Not that it matters, The dead horse has been dead for a long time now.

Hope the patriots grill him hard, maybe make him perjury himself and do some time...

He is going to open himself up to answering some rather pointed questions from the conservatives on the committee that he may not want to answer.....the statement he gave before he road off into the sunset was supposed to give the Dems some red meat so he could avoid testifying....it seems, IF this is true, that did not work.

It's a perjury trap !! 😃

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has agreed to testify before Congress on July 17 on his report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the House Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committee announced Tuesday night. In a joint statement, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said that Mueller had agreed to testify in an open session. “Americans have demanded to hear directly from the Special Counsel so they can understand what he and his team examined, uncovered, and determined about Russia’s attack on our democracy, the Trump campaign’s acceptance and use of that help, and President Trump and his associates' obstruction of the investigation into that attack,” they said. The committees issued subpoenas Tuesday to compel Mueller’s testimony, according to the joint statement. The decision to issue subpoenas to compel Mueller to testify is a landmark move that will put an end to a months-long saga on Capitol Hill where lawmakers have for weeks fought to get access to information about whether President Trump obstructed justice.

so seems they are going to focus on the "obstruction angle again but this should please some dems depending on what he has to say on the matter and it seems jully 17th will be the date of the hearings i assume CSPAN will be covering them?

he big picture: Mueller's public testimony has long been the white whale for Democratic leaders who have staved off calls to impeach President Trump until they can further "educate the public" on the contents of the special counsel's report. Public committee readings of the report and expert testimony have failed to garner the same attention that a high-profile hearing with one of the most mysterious figures of the last two years of the Trump presidency undoubtedly will. Flashback: On May 29, Mueller gave his first and only public statement since his appointment in 2017. Here's what he said regarding any potential testimony: There has been discussion about an appearance before Congress. Any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report. It contains our findings and analysis, and the reasons for the decisions we made. We chose those words carefully, and the work speaks for itself. The report is my testimony. I would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress.

it will be interesting to see if he sticks to his statement of saying the report speaks for its self or if he will clarify anything about the phone call to Barr where he said he disagreed with the assessment bar had stated or if we will gain new insight , who knows though could just be another dog and pony show

It will help many people who have not read the report.

Since he has already stated that he will only quote from his report I do not see how he will say that since the report did not say that anywhere between page one and page four hundred and forty eight.

If you think he is going to say that you especially need to listen to him.

Why do you think that it will hurt the dems?

Also could help the many who have mis-read the report 😎

You know, like fabricating words and sentences that don't exist in The Report 😎

The Report will get Nuetralizzzed 😀

Ha ha!
They're gonna get what they wanted and they're gonna choke on it.

Since many people would rather see the movie than read the book I think his televised testimony will go a long way in educating people on what he reported and why he reached the results he did.

Like William Barr.

This will be better than The Kefauver Hearings 😄

Mueller’s public appearance will bring a spectacle rarely seen during the nearly two-year investigation that ended in March. The special counsel avoided public comment on the probe until the release a redacted, more than 400-page report detailing Russia’s efforts to influence the election and instances of President Donald Trump potentially trying to derail the investigation. Mueller then gave remarks to reporters last month, reinforcing the report’s findings and saying he would not speak any more about it publicly.

i thought he said his report spoke for him allready and would not comment on it farther in public which i think this will be, so if hes not going to comment on it what will he be discussing?

Like William Barr.

Like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

If Mueller deviates one iota from his written report, the Dems will have him on perjury and that will open the door to a new special council and investigation.

It would be in Mueller's best interest not to testify. The republicans will want the original correct report to stand.
