Ring of Fire: Mueller Is Too Scared To Testify About His Own Report



Right now, Mueller is possibly the most important man on this planet.

It must come to be that "Now comes Mueller time."

History is calling you. Step up to the plate.

Everyone needs to settle down, see this played out! The process does not happen over night. It takes time to lay out a case.

We have a fine team of Experienced Attorneys and Prosecutors working.

He wrote a report on we the people’s dime. Now, he needs to bring our report into the people’s House, in its entirety, and answer questions before cameras so that all of us who own the fucking report can hear his answers. Make the damn report public; it belongs to us all. He could at least have the courage to stand by what he wrote; present the gd report to its rightful owners.

He produced the evidence and then refused to declare Trump had committed perjury. He was well aware that Barr would not recognize it as clear evidence of obstruction. Just another one of the Republican rat pack that is destroying the nation. This didn't stop him from handing others over for indictment. Why is he hesitating? He is a Republican first and an loyal supporter of the constitution when it supports their view. I would have just one question to ask him: Does he support the Unitary Executive Theory that virtually make the president a dictator who is above the law. Seems to me that he is well down that path when he accepts the so-called policy that a president can not be indicted. Where in the constitution is it written that a sitting president cannot be indicted?

drumpf will be gone before the 2020 elections. Mueller's testimony will be important to that end.

is looking to boost its ratings. Mueller doesn't strike me as the type of person who scares easily. His testimony has to be by the book or Trump's lawyers will jump all over it.

The special counsel investigating Clinton exposed all their findings. We all KNOW the dirt on tRump is so much worse than a blow job. He is a traitor, a Russian ass et. The future of this country is at stake, why are the citizens not being informed about the traitors?? We deserve to know what goes on in the "People's House" It is not tRump's house, even though he seems to think it is. While the gop keeps covering for their severely damaged "leader" the rest of the world looks on, horrified at what this once great nation has sunk to. tRump was never qualified for the job, never will be. He is a damaged human being, mentally and physically. A big, fat, orange JOKE.

Democratic politicians and the media take it upon themselves to preserve the system that created them. So, that's one reason why a lot of Republican wrongdoings don't make it to the evening news.

Republicans, on the other hand, take it upon themselves to expose any bit of dirt they get on the Democrats.

Facts may be apolitical, but the purveyors of fact always have a point of view, also called a "bias."
