Surprised? Doug Collins Says Mueller Won't Testify Next Wednesday
Appearing on Fox News Rep. Doug Collins had a lot to say about Jerry Nadler's contempt theatrics, emphasizing the point that Jonathan Turley made--that treating the subpoena power itself with such contempt undermines the authority and credibility of the House. However, for me the interesting part came during the last two minutes of the interview when Collins was asked a number of direct questions.
The first question was, yes or no, will Mueller testify to the House next Wednesday? His answer: No. Maybe yes or maybe no, or a flat no? His answer: I would say a flat no. This doesn't come as a surprise. The GOP Reps would be well prepared for Mueller and I don't think he'd want to--or even be able to truthfully--answer those questions.
Collins closed by stating that the real story coming up is the IG report, which will leave little to hide behind.
