Whatever we hear from him is likely to be testimony before a Congressional committee.

About all we can ask until CONGRESS hauls his ass up there. Been two days and ZERO request for a quick date. Not helpful. Americans are cracking the fuck up about the instability and fear.

What was he thinking when he passed it on to Barr??

Did he not know Barr's position on presidential obstruction?

It's difficult to say until we have read the entire Report. All of it.

But, one would think he would seek to talk to the Congress as soon as possible if his words or meaning were misconstrued??

that Justice Dept.thus Mueller's boss. Mueller doesn't have the right to complain to Congress or the Public. The same ethics that demanded he run the investigation seriously, and without l

ks, is the same ethics that prevent him from babbling to the nearest reporter, or contacting one of his friends in Congress to complain about Barr misinterpreting his report.

If he is called to testify to Congress, then he will have the be able to reveal the truth.

I doubt we'll hear from him until then.

How do you know Barr did not demand the end of the investigation and to submit what he had.

Frankly I will not jump to conclusions about Mueller.

Not sure why everyone is now anti Mueller. His "silence"? Perhaps he is just a good investigator and prosecutor and knows when it is the right time to speak.

Patience grasshopper.

I remember Iran Contra and other Republican investigations. We have Russians and others colluding with Trump/gop to attack our elections. Mueller clearly went right along with it.

for suggesting that some were lionizing Mueller and for some, they did, why? I have no idea, there was never any reason to expect Mueller to do anything but follow "orders".
