Will Repubs on the Committee attempt to ask pertinent questions of Robert Mueller?

Or will they distract and disrupt, as they usually do?

Mueller will probably be attacked every which way from Sunday?

They do not want to know the truth about Russia or if anyone on the Trump team, especially Donald, assisted the Russians in any way?

They are perfectly content with the status quo. So long as nobody talks about it. Then, they can feign concern that it will make their Party look "bad".

Democrats should not be surprised when Republicans begin next Wednesday's hearing by obstructing and disrupting the proceedings. That is who they are.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Have you NOT read my report?"

Then follow up..."Do I have to read it out to you what I wrote down? Are you guys that dense?"

I am dreaming, I know that. But there will be plenty of the what-the-fuck moments that will make the Republicans on the committees look like total jerk assholes that they are. Robert Mueller will stick to his guns, pardon the pun, and play the straight shooter to the frustrations of Jim Jordan, Doug Collins, Mark Meadows, Louis Gohmert, and Matt Gaetz. Mueller will have them for lunch and then spit them out.

the allotted time. Or more.

Then, followup questions tend to be restricted, if allowed at all.

Party is irrelevant-- they all do it. Most, anyway.

I would love to know what Mueller investigation revealed about National Enquirers involvement in election. I find it very interesting that Trump was able to get early election support from Elliott Broidy, RNC finance chairman, and Jerry Falwell, of the Christian Right and both used Cohen for payoffs. I would not be surprised if Trump did not use the Enquirer to obtain dirt of these and others and then come to their "rescue" and technically blackmail them for support.
