Reacting to news that special counsel Robert Mueller has made tentative plans to appear before a House Committee, President Donald Trump went on a furious Twitter rampage demanding Mueller not show up.
On Twitter, Trump ranted, After spending more than $35,000,000 over a two year period, interviewing 500 people, using 18 Trump Hating Angry Democrats & 49 FBI Agents all culminating in a more than 400 page Report showing NO COLLUSION why would the Democrats in Congress now need Robert Mueller before adding,
to testify. Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side (incredibly not covered in the Report), and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!

(1,376 posts)"Quisling" is good, too...
One of the framing issues about the entire Trump-Russia scandal is the use or misuse of the word "collusion" - which is not a defined offense in the US Code, the US Constitution, or anything else; hence, the legalistic approach of using conspiracy, solicitation, etc.
But setting aside treason, which is defined both legally and understood easily, strikes me there are two other words that sum up what it appears the Trump-Russia scandal is all about.
"Appeasement" and "collaboration"...
And we know what happened to collaborators...

(9,581 posts)that Barr step in and forbid Mueller from appearing? May 15th is a long way off, considering the current state of affairs.

(7,739 posts)said that there is a loophole, a "break the glass" provision Dems can use to ensure a special counsel testify (if blocked)
if needed...maybe someone else can elaborate if they saw those segments last week.

(892 posts)I haven't been keeping a real close eye, but wasn't Trump saying "12 Angry Dems" earlier? When did it become 18? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly and it has always been 18 angry dems.

(3,289 posts)There's too much malfeasance going on in this (mis)administration, and there's only so much any one angry Democrat can keep up with. If nothing else, the lawyers are enjoying Dolt 45's time in office.
That, or he simply can't count. We're not dealing with a towering intellect in his case.

emmaverybo
(8,144 posts)gets a pubic airing if Mueller testifies. Mueller will be asked how he felt Barr misrepresented the report. Trump banks on the fact that most of us cant and wont read Muellers report, not even his prepared summaries.
Trump depends on that window Barr used when the report was fresh to set the publics impression of it. Now the window could be re-opened.
Trumps tweets misrepresent. He is well aware that investigation issues will not be re-litigated. But Mueller will counter Barrs PR piece if hes honest about why he disagreed with Barrs sum up.
And Dems will get it out of him, the specifics.
I look forward to seeing how the vicious ones who usually use innuendo and character assassination to so-called question witnesses are going to deal with Mueller just the facts mam.
Oh, boy. Baby Blimp is in trouble.
Nothing new will come out. Just the troublesome facts.

(50,604 posts)Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late that month
Donald went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none
He came home too drunk from mixin'
Tanqueray and wine
He colluded and obstructed now they call him Donny 99
Down in the part of town where when you hit a red light you don't stop
Donny's wavin' his gun around and threatenin' to blow his top
When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind
Out in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Donny 99
Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was Mean John Brown
He came into the courtroom and stared poor Donny down
Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime
Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it even Donny 99
A fistfight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag Donny's girl away
His mama stood up and shouted "judge don't take my boy this way"
Well son you got a statement you'd like to make
Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away
Now judge I got debts no honest man could pay
The bank was holdin' my mortgage and they was takin' my house away
Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man
But it was more 'n all this that put that Russian phone in my hand
Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead
And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts that's in his head
Then won't you sit back in that chair and think it over judge one more time
And let 'em shave off my hair and put me on that execution line

(7,404 posts)We have seen what Barr is willing to allow us to see. That is like putting a witness on the stand and asking friendly questions. Now it is time to cross-examine and that means Mueller speaking before the House Judiciary Committee. Fair is fair.

(22,985 posts)Congress. Knowing Trump's fondness for taking mulligans on the golf course It's ironic he doesn't want to give the Democrats a "redo."

Any truths seriously erode his hold on power.

(11,885 posts)Donald the clown doesn't, and he and Barr's propaganda will be exposed as propaganda if he speaks. Watch for the threats to Mueller to begin, and claims of him doing illegal things, made up by Barr and trump. trump's scared his being illegitimate will be proven, and exposed, and Mueller will be a part of it.
