Some random Democrat you’ve never hear of, Rhode Island Representative David Cicilline (not to be confused with former Italian Ciccolina, though you could be forgiven the error), has announced that an agreement has been reached with Department of Justice to permit special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Fat Jerry Nadler’s committee on May 15.
This promises to be high comedy.
It is difficult to see how Mueller can break any more of the basic ethical principles prosecutors are supposed to adhere to than he already has. But we can be sure, if the utter sh**show that was Bill Barr’s testimony before an infinitely more sane Senate Judiciary Committee is any guide, that Mueller will be under intense pressure to not only proclaim that there was “collusion” but that Trump “obstructed” what is looking to be an investigation which was knowingly launched based of false information and prosecuted merely out of a desire to damage the administration and let Andrew Weissmann engage in some sort of score-settling with Paul Manafort. He will also be under pressure to accuse Bill Barr of lying to Congress and deceiving the nation by releasing Mueller’s report, and that is exactly what he’s being accused of.
If Mueller doesn’t give them what they want, they will savage him. He has to know that. Sad to say, the odds of Mueller being up to the challenge of not shifting overtly into the role of partisan attack dog are not great.

Blog Author's Comments: I would guess that Attorney General Barr is not pleased with Mueller continuing his partisan unprofessionalism, which the democrats will facilitate by expanding on his "but there's this" opinions which should not have been part of any objective, professional report, other than the opinion he refused to offer about an obstruction charge.
He put his 'friend' AG Barr into the continuing harassment and witch hunting by the Democrat Party, only because Mueller and company could not publish a decision. So, the Attorney General did his job and is now having to face and fight with the crazed democrats, because he did not give them what they desperately wanted, and this is all they had. They put all their hope on the special counsel's report and are now completely out of their minds.
Senator Graham was right, there is but one question to ask Robert Mueller. "Was Barr's summary of your report objectively wrong and your letter to him said that or, you did not like the media coverage as he said?" If his answer is "no", then his whiny letter looks like what it was, him whining about Barr interfering with his report.
This entire mess, was intended to further divide us all and in that objective, it continues to perform. And remember, the Republicans on the committee will also be able to question Mueller.
Obstruction of justice works both ways, Mr. Mueller. You screwed over your friend, the Attorney General of the United States, and suggested the President of the United States committed crimes you know he did not. It would be hilarious if Mueller gets caught lying to Congress. And, it's already clear either he's lying or Barr is. I cannot imagine a universe in which Attorney General Barr lied.
