Mueller made a short statement and it is all over news. Imagine what would happen if he testified.

Mueller must appear before congress. There are too many questions that only he can answer. I just heard a perfect reason why Mueller should testify in public. The American people don't want to read the book, they want to watch the movie. That is true.

As the old saying goes... If it ain't on the TV, it didn't happen. People will watch, and with each witness and damaging answer the percentage of the public demanding impeachment will increase, easily exceeding 60%.

Subpoena Mueller, as he didn't say he wouldn't testify, just that he would only testify to what was in the report.

Republicans will embarrass themselves with ridiculous statements and questions that Mueller will swat down like the seasoned prosecutor that he is.

Democrats just need to ask their questions and let Mueller read from his report. And then also, they need to question him about what transpired to end the investigation, and his communications with Barr about Barr's mis-characterizations of the report's finding.
