He says that he will back the Democrats in the Senate to have Mueller testify about the Stone debacle! I dont trust him or Trump!

(13,835 posts)There is something odd here! I glad will get to testify, but why would Graham go against Trump and the other GOPers?

(53,971 posts)It'll be in the news for weeks with the election coming up and trump in a weakened position. They see it as any positive red meat for their base will be good. They also remember that Mueller is not the sharp, old Mueller from before and want to take advantage of his slowed reactions, shakey speech and not-so-sharp recollections of what's in the Mueller report .
I hope Mueller's advisers tell him not to show. He doesn't have to. He performed his duty, delivered the report, watched it get undermined and now doesn't work for the treacherous Barr anymore. They can subpoena him all they want. He can just not show as all those repugs didn't show. What the hell can they do after they didn't do anything to their colleagues who didn't show up?

(11,897 posts)use the excuse of the Stone commutation to re-litigate their bullshit Russian hoax talking points including questioning him about the FBI and the" Spying" on the Trump campaign. This is all a sham to get another forum to pontificate on camera about how the "pResident " has been damaged by the deep state.
Seems perfectly transparent to me.

(45,035 posts)I still have hope that Mueller will do the right thing, but low expectations.

(14,276 posts)Trump is adamant that he was illegally spied on by Obama. Graham will try to discredit Bob Mueller by giving that angle the shrill Benghazi-like screed.
Graham and his Republican cohorts will try to pound the square Mueller into their round illegal spying hole and, dammit, they will not stop until they convince their imaginary "silent majority" that it FITS!

(49,480 posts)Graham probably has hopes of tripping him up.

(3,635 posts)and likely is attempting to trick moderates into thinking he's the old mavericky Graham, instead of the Trump bootlicker Graham he's become in recent years.

(49,069 posts)So Graham is playing to his and Republicons bases. While Democrats seek an opening to expose tRump/DoJ corruption that Mueller has done more than vaguely hint at, the Republicons will be trying to get propaganda soundbites so they can scream "Russia Hoax!".

(3,435 posts)I'm not too worried about it. People have made up their minds about this stuff. They just want it all settled in an election.

(32,626 posts)maybe there's some there, there. I can't imagine any Republican wanting Mueller to testify, although I suppose they can restrict the scope of what he would be allowed to say, giving them time for a circus act.
