House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said Tuesday on CNN that it’s “incredibly arrogant” for the Department of Justice to try to curtail special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony, not least because Mueller already set the same parameters for himself.
“I don’t think it’s much of an impediment simply because Bob Mueller had indicated repeatedly he was going to do exactly that,” Nadler said of the letter directing Mueller to only testify within the confines of his report during his congressional hearings Wednesday. “I think it’s incredibly arrogant of the department to try instruct him as to what to say. It’s a part of the cover-up of the administration to keep information away from the American people.”
He added that Mueller doesn’t even have to comply with the letter, as he is no longer a DOJ employee.

Mueller is due on Capitol Hill Wednesday to testify before the House Judiciary and Intel Committees.
Wait for their follow up memo later today instructing him not to testify.
Well Jerry, we’re going to see what you and the other Dems are made of tomorrow. Will you all grandstand for a sound bite you can use in a commercial or tamp down your egos, plan some sane questioning strategy and get to the bottom of this whole rotten mess?
I’m in sales. When a big deal is heading sideways or south, we engage in OOB thinking to change the tactics. Dems don’t really do that, they keep executing the same predictable plays. I used to be a NY Giants fan way back when Allie Sherman and Dan Reeves coached. Third and 8? A draw play, always, then followed by a punt. It was a fucking joke then, and the dems, like those coaches, have not shown the creativity to deal with this asymmetrical warfare being employed by the other team.
The administration is begging for impeachment hearings. Forget the “politics”. Do it. It’s time.
Is America following any of this at all, or just worrying about how “socialist” Democratic Freshman congresswomen are?
Distract and conquer.
