House Democrats subpoenaed special counsel Robert Mueller, but Republicans are eager to ask what sparked the Russia probe
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress have spent more than two years questioning the basis of the investigation derided as a witch hunt into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Story continuesAttorney General William Barr told The Associated Press this month that Democrats forcing Mueller’s testimony were trying to create a “public spectacle.”Yet everybody wants to get something out of the rare public appearance by Mueller, the famously taciturn former FBI director who for nearly two years supervised the investigation that became Washington's central political drama.
“Here is what we know: The president sought to make money from a foreign power during his campaign. So did some of his children. So did his campaign manager and his deputy campaign manager. So did his personal lawyer. And his national security adviser," Schiff said in opening a June hearing on the report."Some of these actors have been prosecuted. But all of their actions are deeply compromising of our national security.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said the key questions will be about “potential pollutants” that led to “oceans of bias” in the inquiry through investigators who had a history of contributing to Democrats. “While the special counsel found that no Americans conspired with Russia to attempt to interfere in our elections, many have willfully misrepresented that conclusion while Democrats have neglected their responsibility to safeguard future elections from foreign influence,” Collins said.
Another exchange could deal with whether Russians got Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort to change the Republican Party platform to dilute providing assistance to Ukraine. Republicans could point to page 10 of Volume 1 to have Mueller say “the investigation did not establish” such efforts “were undertaken at the behest of candidate Trump or Russia.”
