Lindsey Graham says he will ask Mueller to testify before Senate Judiciary Committee

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that he will grant a request by Democrats to have former special counsel Robert Mueller testify about his investigation before the committee.

Graham's comments follow an op-ed by Mueller published Saturday in The Washington Post, in which the former special counsel defended his office's prosecution of Roger Stone and wrote that he is still a convicted felon and "rightly so" in light of President Donald Trump's commutation of Stone. Mueller was appointed in May 2017 to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

"Apparently Mr. Mueller is willing - and also capable - of defending the Mueller investigation through an oped in the Washington Post," Graham wrote on Twitter.

He added, "Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have previously requested Mr. Mueller appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify about his investigation. That request will be granted."

...with hours of outraged accusations framed as "questions," all claiming that Mueller is a Democratic stooge trying to destroy Our President in a partisan witch-hunt. Look for lots of speeches about how he "found nothing," as well.

Yeah, I know the reason, too. It's good to remind conservatives of reality from time to time. Heaven knows their brains are chock full of "facts" that aren't true.

Talk about anything relating to Russia, tRUMP, or tRUMP's associates... Just tell us how your investigators conspired against tRUMP.

No wonder all Republican Senators and Reps are enriching themselves at public expense, so they can make sure that they put off dying as long as possible, because they know they are going to burn in Hell.
