Epoch Times: The House Judiciary Committee is considering a one-week delay in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s scheduled testimony, according to Reuters citing two sources with knowledge about the matter.
A committee aide told Reuters in an earlier statement that, “At this moment we still plan to have our hearing on the 17th and we will let you know if that changes.”
Earlier, Politico reported that the former special counsel’s public testimony may be postponed under a tentative deal he had made with House Democrats. Although the exact reason for the delay has not been revealed, sources told the news outlet that one reason for the delay is due to an ongoing negotiation on the time lawmakers would have to ask Mueller questions during the hearing.
The Hill also reported, citing sources, about the possible delay but cautioned that the decision is still pending a final agreement by Democrats. Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported that Mueller had offered to delay the testimony by a week to allow lawmakers more time to question him. His offer is currently being considered by the committee panels, according to multiple sources.
Mueller was initially scheduled to testify in open session before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on July 17, the panels’ chairmen, Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced on June 25. After the Mueller report was released in April, House Democrats have expended great effort to secure the former special counsel’s testimony in an attempt to gather evidence for impeachment. read more
I get the impression Mueller may be a bit reluctant to testify.
But I don’t know why.
they sure do know how to dangle the bait … don’t they?
A week here, a week there, pretty soon you have a bunch of years. This is a fooken joke.
Yawn….Wake me up when the shooting or hangings start.
(d)s probably looking for Mueller and other family members to kidnap and hold for testimonial ransom…
Oh Yay, CNN can change their count down clock and now focus on hoping New Orleans suffers horribly.
In other words, the Dems realize that this may not be such a good idea after all and are looking for a way out.
One week, are they nuts? Mueller is likely to commit Arkansacide and he’s been given another week to do it?
What can the asshat say that wasn’t already said in that 25 + millions of dollars Democrap ordered and facilitated scurvy report! Did he not say that he couldn’t say any more than had already been reported by him! He is either going to be an overt liar or a con artist of the first order!
Muellers ass is in the sling and he knows it.
The Epstein arrest has not reached saturation yet. Another week is needed to connect Epstein with Trump in the LoFo voter’s minds, then they can move on to Mueller and “obstruction of justice”.
Mueller’s testimony in a sound bite generating echo chamber means exactly jack shit. Another example of congress peacocking for the cameras and accomplishing exactly nothing.
But bet your ass, it will generate millions of blog words and miles of TV jaw miles. For a total result of bumpkus.
Lord help us, the stupid, they do carry on.
It would be a shame if he goes off script and faces perjury charges.
I am shocked. I thought Mr. Integrity was just champing at the bit to finally get in front of Congress and say all those Trump-incriminating things he couldn’t put in his report because… because…
