For John, BLUF: I don't understand why the Democrats are going down the road of calling former Special Counsel Robert Mueller to testify before House Committees. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From PJ Media, by Roger L Simon, 27 June 2019.
Here is the lede plus one:
You don't have to exhume Dr. Hunter S. Thompson to explain the sudden turnabout that has led the previously silent Robert Mueller to accept subpoenas to testify in front of two congressional committees. But it doesn't hurt.I must admit that I was surprised that Representatives Nadler and Schiff want Mr Robert Mueller to testify about his time as Special Counsel.Fear, as the good doctor famously said, and loathing.
Maybe it is because they are so invested in the Russian Conspiracy Theory that they can not see any other path. Maybe it is because they are hoping that they can, as Committee Chairmen, control the conversation so as to prevent any adverse questions and corresponding answers, and thus score political points. Maybe they are looking for a path to show that they haven't been obtuse all this time, as the DOJ IG Report comes out and U.S. Attorney John Durham delivers his Report. Of course it is possible they are just thick.
The best line of the article was about a member of Special Counsel Mueller's team:
That group included the highly-controversial Andrew Weismann of the Enron scandal and more. Not exactly anyone's idea of Atticus Finch.Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
