Top Democrats in the House are reportedly planning to invite Robert Mueller to testify on Capitol Hill in televised hearings if President Trump takes action to fire the special counsel and shut down the Russia investigation.
Senior Democratic aides told Politico that if Trump were to fire Mueller and other members of the Justice Department's leadership in a scenario similar to Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre, Democrats would respond by inviting Mueller to testify before the House in a televised hearing.
"I think you could expect Democrats to take pieces of what they shut down and expose it publicly,” a senior aide familiar with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) thinking told Politico.
“This is a report paid for with taxpayer dollars. So taxpayers would have a right to know what Mr. Mueller found," the aide continued.
Trump has attacked Mueller and the special counsel investigation, which he calls a "witch hunt," for months despite several top members of his campaign being ensnared in criminal charges related to the investigation.
ETC...
Any reason now why Trump can’t declassify the FISA warrants?
Same gig.
They’re going to do that regardless.
Just defund him.
They keep daring Trump to fire him. They want the investigation to end with a bang rather than a whimper.
But ...but .....but ....he wouldn’t be able to answer any questions anyway because of “ongoing FBI or IG or investigations , or ongoing court hearings or revealing sources and methods and people or embarrassing allies right?
Trump has already stated he has no plans to fire Mueller, because he knows he’s got nothing.
Never mind Mueller for now. Fire Sessions and hire someone not afraid to handle this.
Can someone tell me what the purpose is of the democrap party in this country? A day after the election and right away they’re back into the BS investigations, issuing threats, promoting division, Adam Schitt like a kid in a candy store saying he’s going to investigate this and this and this. And this helps the country and the people how you asshat?
That. Would. Be. Awesome!
Trump should have a real time graphic showing how much this farce investigation is costing us.
Mueller stays, Sessions will go, Rosenstein apparently will stay.
Mattis stays, Kelly is 50/50. I wouldn’t be surprised if Carson chooses to leave.
President Trump should call their bluff and encourage televised hearings..
Excella idea!
Trump isn’t going to fire Mueller.
Give them all megaphones... Loud and Proud!! I wanna hear the Dems in their full glory!!
So, they won the house. Woopdie doo... That means little to nothing.
They will not be able to pass a single law, nor stop anything of substance. They can announce press conferences and set up finger wagging hearings.
How effective were the GOP at finger wagging Obama and his criminal crew?....crickets...
I hope Rosenswine and Mueller go also
But they might be the “watch my left hand frog, while I grab you with the right one”.
Bunk.
Mueller has empty pockets.
Awesome news. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
They keep daring Trump to fire him. They want the investigation to end with a bang rather than a whimper.

Exactly. Leave Mueller to rot. As the years go by (and we’re now talking year 3!!) Mueller looks more and more absurd.
