For House Democrats committed to impeachment, Mueller’s testimony before two House committees may be their last chance to muster a majority short of dramatic new misconduct by the president.

House Democrats hope to boost public support for impeaching President Trump when former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III testifies to Congress for the first time Wednesday about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and alleged obstruction of justice.

Democrats hope they can get Mueller to explain what he meant and say whether he agreed with Barr that no obstruction of justice occurred. Some impeachment supporters considered the vote — forced by Rep. Al Green — a misstep because it forced rank-and-file Democrats to show their hand before Mueller’s testimony.including 17 from California

“I think time is running out,” said Rep. Jackie Speier , who still argues that the Mueller hearing is important to correct the public perception. “It will have the effect of shining a very bright light on a very corrupt organization, the Trump Organization.”

The longer this testimony is delayed, the more I think there’s something compromising in it. But one thing I know for a long time for sure: this investigation wasn’t in vain. And I know that there are people guarding American elections. Please go on.

Dramatic new misconduct by the president? You can’t make this stuff up!

I don't think Mueller's testimony will do any good... Dems have waited too long and failed to educate the public. Too much time has gone by and people have such short term memories that they don't care... Dems let Trump say and get away with too much with no punishment....

Dnc is pathetic

Peach mints! Get da peach mints, the jig is up!!! Drumpf is finished this time for good!!

By not impeaching Dem leadership is showing themselves to be as cowardly and calculating as Republicans. This is theatre. We have the evidence. Sad
