House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said the clock is ticking for Robert Mueller to publicly testify about his investigation into Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential election.
“Time is running out,” Schiff said Tuesday on CNN’s “New Day.” “With someone like Bob Mueller, making an appeal to his patriotism and a sense of duty is the right way to go.”
The California Democrat added that August is too late for such a public appearance and that if an agreement isn’t reached, “We’ll have to use a subpoena.”
Last month, Mueller said he had wrapped up his duties as special counsel and did not plan on testifying before Congress. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) also said he would issue a subpoena for Mueller's testimony, though his committee is still negotiating with the former special counsel and the timeline for any subpoena remains unclear.

followed by what basically amounts to a Recess for the month of August. Maybe bring him in after Labor Day or Halloween. 
… the subpoena should already have been issued! We paid Mr. Mueller good money - and we need to hear from him, live and in open session...
Who's going to make him? 
Dems, especially those in positions of leadership (Pelosi and Neal), are squandering multiple opportunities to expose the pervasive corruption and criminal acts of the Trump syndicate and their enablers. They're like deer in the headlights and it's becoming painfully obvious that they're incapable of pursuing the necessary measures to salvage what remains of our democracy. Trump and his gang of punks sense the weakness and become more emboldened by the day by the lack of any adverse consequences or punitive actions for their increasingly brazen and thuggish behavior. They're following the playbook of the european fascist of the 1930's and there seems to be a lack of recognition of such by the general population.
Friends all across this country worked their butts off in GOTV. They were SO happy about the diverse, congressional big blue wave win Dems has this past fall. But here it is now several months later and they're not nearly enthusiastic about the big victory we had in the Congress. They all see fatso guilty of treason and continuing to get away with murder, they see thuglicans defending him and just as guilty as he is, and almost all think that Dem leadership is letting them down in a big way with what they see as a lack of a plan an a lack of action vs Thuglicans. Many of them didn't get any tax cuts, their health insurance premiums sky-rocketed, and they see where fatso wants to get rid of the ACA again. The are very loyal Dems and of course plan to vote blue no matter who in the 2020 GE (Several like me wonder if we will be able to vote with ANY confidence, especially after seeing fatso begging for more ruskie help last week
), but they wonder about their children and grand children who are wondering out LOUD if they'll even bother to vote and are wondering if their votes will count due to gerrymandering, voter-suppression or if Dems continue to allow themselves to be the party of Charlie Brown and thuglicans as the party of Lucy. I pray voter-enthusiasm doesn't strike the Dem party.
Yeah I'm bummed out myself, but plan to vote blue no matter who in 2020 (That's if my vote counts, and we can vote).
Just one more flip we promise
