I am filing this story in the “put up or shut up” category of invitations. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham Friday morning sent a letter to Special Counsel Robert Mueller inviting him to testify about the phone call he had with AG Barr following the letter Mueller sent to Barr about the summary of findings the AG issued, pending release of the full report. That letter, purportedly meant to be private, nonetheless was leaked right before Barr testified before Graham’s committee, and was used by Democrat members to criticize the AG.

I suspect Dirty Cop isn’t going to want to speak to anyone about anything. Pretty sure he will soon be heading for the tall grass.

Lindsey, ask Herr Mueller if he or his staff examined DNC computers to verify the hacking.
If he only took the word of Crowd Strike on the hacking, that would be inadmissable hearsay in Court. Defendants are entitled to the best evidence rule.
Ask him about the death of Seth Rich, a DNC employee.

At the Senate hearing, Lindsay effused glowingly of Mueller’s professionalism and dedication to the law. After such praise from the chairman of the committee (following month after month after month of the same gushing malarkey from the media) how could “Mueller’s Report” clearing Trump be minimized? Just as good, now that the Senate Committee Chairman has invited Mueller to testify and air his snitty little gripes about Barr’s summary, how can he refuse? It’s not like he’s doing anything else important now (tee hee).

Mueller, if he has any brains left, should decline and say, "In essence, what AG Barr has stated is correct. There is no need for additional confirmation from me." Of course his ego may overrule that wisdom.
Why? Because Mueller has witnesses to the conversation and was obviously was well prepared and careful about how he spoke to Mueller. He hogtied Mueller and branded him and Mueller should know that.
If Mueller appears and tells the truth, Barr´s words will be confirmed. Any "explanation" will appear as whining.
If Mueller tries to distort or lie, Barr will be all over him with witnesses to the call.
In the end, it will be a repeat of the call itself. Barr asked if the summary was inaccurate. Mueller HAD TO say "No.". Barr has worked mightily to be accurate and careful because he KNEW the report stated there was no charges and THAT WAS IT. The only hope to carry it on was for Barr to exert undue "influence". He has been VERY careful not to do that and Mueller knows it.
Barr has provided a graceful exit to Mueller. His work is done and, no matter how disappointing to the Left, that is it. Mueller wanted to stretch it out and inflict pain on Trump, who he could not reach legally. Barr refused to let him play that game. I wasn´t Mueller´s job and it wasn´t how DOJ investigations are supposed to work. "We have to stop using the criminal justice process as a political weapon” was aimed at Mueller as well as the rest of the government.

I am so over this story. It really is yesterday’s news.
HOWEVER, the more I hear and understand (a $25+ million investigation by hack lawyers), the fact they found NOTHING on PDJT is astonishing.
Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
And the Deep State continues to be exposed.

Herr Mueller has a lot to answer for, as well as his head disgusting weasel Weisman, but it should be in front of a grand jury.

I ask does someone have something on Lindsey? Why would he do this? Lindsey is losing it!

That´s the real Lindsey there, folks. He never fails to disappoint. It´s two steps forward, two steps backwards with him for me. What a waste of time. Just more opportunity for dems to come up with something else to demand action for or from and a chance to get their soundbites out to their gullible voting base. Stupid!

I´m with Lindsey on this one. He is on the correct side of the issue.
I suspect any complaints from Herr Mueelt yp AG Barr, were the complaints of head Gestapo, dirty lawyer Weissman.

#4 In your second paragraph, the third word should be Barr....not Mueller.

Senator Graham is extending an invitation that he knows will be declined. Robert Mueller doesn´t want to speak to the Judiciary Committee on live TV. He knows he´d be reamed by the Republicans, publicly and relentlessly. Innuendo from creepy Democrats doesn´t rise to the level of being grilled personally.
Senator Graham is being very shrewd in extending this invitation. It puts Mueller in a real bind. There is no way he could win the "argument" that AG Barr mishandled anything.

There are 18 months until the Dems have another chance to bury all this information about corruption and the Deep(Dark) State. My guess is they will create as much noise as is possible to prevent the truth from coming out and the prosecution of the truly guilty. I say ´buckle up, it looks like this might be a bumpy ride!´

Everything he did as SC was as a part of the Executive branch. In that he is covered by any Executive Privilege that the POTUS might choose to claim.

Put that piece of garbage Mueller in a perjury trap and spring it on him. Then put him in solitary until he spills his guts on his puppetmasters.
