His Trump report ducked…
Now it appears the guy himself wants to keep on ducking….
Of course, the Barr Justice Department does want Mueller or ANYBODY talking to the House Oversight Committee led by the Democrats…
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has expressed reluctance to him testifying publicly in front of the House Judiciary Committee, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The special counsel’s team has expressed the notion that Mueller does not want to appear political after staying behind the scenes for two years and not speaking as he conducted his investigation into President Donald Trump. One option is to have him testify behind closed doors, but sources caution numerous options are being considered in the negotiations between the committee and the special counsel’s team.
Justice officials are generally supportive of how the special counsel’s team is proceeding with negotiations. As Attorney General Bill Barr told The Wall Street Journal last week: “It’s Bob’s call whether he wants to testify.”
Special counsel spokesman Peter Carr and the Justice Department declined to comment on the current status of negotiations.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, has repeatedly said that Mueller must appear publicly, and he will subpoena Mueller if necessary.
“Eventually we will hear from Mueller because … we will subpoena him if we have to,” Nadler told CNN earlier this month. “I certainly hope it doesn’t come to the, to our necessity to subpoena him,” he added….
Note…
In the end?
It’s gonna be the courts that will compel those Trump is keeping from speaking to Congress…
If Trump has Barr and HIS Justice people defying the courts?
Then we WILL have a constitutional impasse …..
