Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham asked Robert Mueller if he’d like to testify about any “misrepresentation” by Attorney General William Barr concerning a phone call they had about the special counsel’s report

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham on Friday asked Robert Mueller if he’d like to testify about any “misrepresentation” by Attorney General William Barr concerning a phone call they had about the special counsel’s report.

“Please inform the Committee if you would like to provide testimony regarding any misrepresentation by the Attorney General of the substance of the phone call,” Graham wrote to Mueller in a letter dated Friday.Earlier this week, news outlets reported that Mueller sent a March letter to Barr expressing disagreement with the way Barr handled the release of his report, specifically that Barr’s four-page summary “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of Mueller’s report.

In a subsequent phone call, Mueller voiced concern that the media misrepresented the report’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump committed obstruction of justice. During his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday, Barr said that Mueller did not dispute the accuracy of his four-page summary to Congress.

Mueller sticks foot in mouth. Creates havac. Questions his own ruling. Way to go Mr. silence

Mueller should say sure, just as soon as he's done at the House, because Nadler asked first. Graham is welcome to watch.

Does not matter. Democrats will never stop.

Bet there is silence on the other end of the phone. He already has a shit load of Ukranian explaining to do. And why all of a sudden any questions regarding the 'dossier' he or any of his team are running from.

Can someone explain why Mueller hasn’t testified. It seems like something both he and congress would want to do. What is stopping him from doing it?

Come testify even if you don't. Put an end to this shit show

Graham wants Mueller on record.

hope we move on enough already

QUESTION: What happens when realDonaldTrump farts? ANSWER: LindseyGrahamSC has to go to his stylist to get his hair re-combed.

Mueller made a mistake signing that letter to Barr (and releasing it to the public). It's not what executives do. Barr even said so when he suggested Mueller's staff wrote the snitty letter. Now Mueller must come forward to explain why he went around Barr and Rosenstein.

Sounds like a very narrow invitation. Graham clearly isn’t suggesting Mueller come testify about the underlying report. Which makes Graham as smarmy as Trump & Barr. This is near traitorous snakesmanship. SenatorDurbin SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff

Oh my God how can you resist that sexy monkey Lindsey Graham? Mueller needs to book a couple of spa treatments so his skin is clear and bright when he meets the Lady of the House. I mean the Senate. I can’t wait till the movie comes out.

Generously, Mueller took a year to figure out no collusion and then he took another year to try and fish for and manufacture obstruction. No collusion. No obstruction. Game over.

And when did Mueller know their was no collusion cause it didn’t take two years to figure that out?

I KNOW there’s a catch in this. Either Graham knows Mueller can’t get WH permission, or that Mueller will be muzzled on what he can reveal so Republicans can make a fool of him and damage his credibility. Only in the House can he get a fair shake. The price for no indictment.

Lindsey...I wonder if you really want him to testify. If he does, pretty sure Trump will not be happy.

I doubt Mueller would suffer Graham’s sniveling theatrics very well. It would get ugly in a hurry.

Only for the optics.

😁

That was and he said it’s over in the same breathe. Try honest reporting.

That’s just today’s statement. It will be backwards tomorrow....

Graham is FOS. Stop pretending like u want to do right. Invite Mueller in for a proper sit down.

Politico, perhaps you should read your own articles when they're this factual. It'd save you a lot of sacrificed credibility.

Lindsey, or Bachelor Farmer, thanks PHC and Garrison for that reference.

Trump may not be directly culpable of the hacking, but his dear friend and benefactor of a potential 1/2 billion dollar RE project certainly is. so if trump wasn't obstructing for himself isn't his intent just as criminal for deflecting and obstructing to protect putin

Lindsey gone wild.

It's called the Mueller report. Why would anyone other than he, given the circumstances, present the report summary? Whether Graham is acting in good faith is irrelevant, every ethical member of Congress, so maybe 25 of them, need to have Mueller give a fireside chat.

The Drama Queen Known As Lindsey

You really really have to change those trousers!!!!!!!

I thought Graham was “done”?

After the GOP and Barr threw him under the bus? Why would he?

LindseyGrahamSC and GOP, will grill Mueller about HillaryClinton, and not realDonaldTrump.

Does Graham really want to know? If he did he would ask Mueller to testify Period. This is BS.

Graham invites Mueller to detail any complaints he raised in call with BarrSen. Lindsey Graham wrote to special counsel Robert Mueller offering him the chance to “provide testimony” regarding any misrepresentation he thinks Attorney General William Barr may have made about a phone call between the two men. This will lead to more heartbreak for the democrats when Mueller confirms that Barr was truthful. Then the Democrats will turn on Mueller. A G Barr caught up at the dead end. This can’t be. I was told Graham is trash.
