Why doesn't the House just bring in Robert Mueller?

[Poiuyt]

To my thinking, that should be the first person to interview in any investigation. Then he can explain what he meant in his report without Barr putting his spin on it.

1. I believe they will at some point.

But there are other things they are looking at besides what's in the report, so they don't have to bring Mueller in first. In fact, it's probably a better strategy to haul Barr in first.

2. The want Barr's lies on record first, so they can follow up with Mueller.

[Mme. Defarge]

3. I believe they may be attempting to, something about May 23rd.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I recall hearing that date too.

[stillcool]

10. yeah they want him there..

6. I think they are worried Mueller will back up Barr's interpretation

That would be a disaster, he is a company man after all. Last time I saw him testify before Congress he was saying Irag was a possible source of WMDs that could be used in terrorism on US soil.

9. Timing and sequence of actions

they matter.
