Democrats struggling to find witnesses to guide their Trump probes say theyve noticed the recent uptick in activity from ex-Mueller staffers and they want in.

Robert Muellers former prosecutors are trying to move on. Congressional Democrats want to pull them back in.
Its the latest twist for the special counsels attorneys who spent nearly two years working on one of the most scrutinized investigations in American history and now are resurfacing at major law firms touting their work on the Russia probe. Some are even giving interviews to journalists, a big change from the no comment mantra they practiced to almost comical extremes, while another has a reported book deal.
Democrats struggling to find witnesses to guide their probes of Donald Trump say theyve noticed the recent uptick in activity and they want in.
These are, after all, the same attorneys who personally interviewed the presidents aides and a wide cast of characters connected to Moscows election interference campaign. They worked closest with the special counsel in deciding who merited prosecution or even a mention in his final report. As a result, they could offer new investigative leads, suggest ways to stymie the foreign assistance Trump seems open to accepting and further the congressional probes fueling impeachment calls. In short, they could do what Mueller himself has yet to do, although the special counsel did agree late Tuesday to testify on July 17.
We should hear from Bob Mueller as well as the senior members of his team to bring to life the findings in their report, said New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a member of the House Democratic leadership who also has a slot on the powerful Judiciary Committee, which has the ability to launch impeachment proceedings.

and by not insisting on sworn testimony. They need to subpoena all witnesses for public testimony. No more special treatment for Trumpy's army of traitors.
