Politico: Mueller’s House testimony likely off until at least June

House Democrats are backing away from plans to hold a blockbuster hearing this month with Robert Mueller after talks stalled out with the special counsel and his representatives.

Update: Does Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller Want To Testify? (May 17, 2019)

WNU Editor:
I do expect the former Special Counsel to testify one day, even though it is becoming clear to everyone that he does not want to do this. And I also do not expect him to give the Democrats the ammunition they want in order to intensify their efforts against President Trump, even though many are hoping that he will. In the meantime the Democrats are trying to put a brave face on an investigation that really ended with the Mueller report's final conclusion that there was no Russian collusion .... Step by step: Democrats play the long game against Trump (AP).

Mueller's book, published only after his death, will be a major best seller unless he lives to be 100 and then pretty much nobody, will care.
