Mueller must testify on TV

And Barr should be impeached for misleading Congress and the American public, for overriding the Special Counsel's report, and for being a dick.

I'm going to surmise that this latest round of attacks on Mueller by Bill Barr are because he knows Mueller's televised statement actually refuted what Barr is trying to sell, even though Mueller didn't expressly say so. In fact, he even said he believed Barr was acting in good faith when he decided to release the report, leaving many to hear that as a cover for all of Barr's actions.

Meanwhile, Barr continues to throw Mueller under the bus.

Mueller said this week that he could not indict Trump because of a Justice Department policy that prohibits indicting a sitting president, and was not even willing to conclude if a crime was committed out of fairness to the president.

But Barr, a Trump appointee who oversaw the final stages of the Russia investigation, gave a starkly different opinion to Mueller's - saying the special counsel could have made a judgment call even if he could not indict the president.

Barr and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein [...] later concluded on their own that the report lacked ample evidence to charge Trump with obstruction.

"I personally felt he could've reached a decision," Barr said, according to an excerpt released on Thursday from an interview with CBS' This Morning.

"The opinion says you cannot indict a president while he is in office, but he could've reached a decision as to whether it was criminal activity," Barr added.

"But he had his reasons for not doing it, which he explained and I am not going to, you know, argue about those reasons."

You just did.

In his first public comments since starting the investigation in May 2017, Mueller appeared to indicate that Congress could take the matter of deciding whether Trump had committed obstruction of justice into its own hands.

Barr, when asked about this on CBS, said he was not sure what Mueller was referring to with that comment.

"The Department of Justice doesn't use our powers of investigating crimes as an adjunct to Congress," Barr said.

Barr, like everyone else, knows exactly what Mueller was referring to.
