This is why Mueller’s testimony matters. He will mostly just repeat what is in his report, but 87 percent of Americans haven’t read much of it. https://t.co/xCnGVXppGI

60% of Americans say Trump has been dishonest about the Mueller investigation and just 29% say the Mueller report cleared the president of wrongdoing, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Trump scared to let Mueller testify, despite "exoneration" https://t.co/dFimR2fD35

Only a dictator would have power to stop someone in Mueller’s position from testifying to a duly authorized legislative or parliamentary inquiry into the leader’s wrongdoing. And only a dictator with a lot to hide would try to invoke such power. https://t.co/3QDa2C1eJT

….to testify. Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side (incredibly not covered in the Report), and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!

Trump says that he lost "two years" due to Mueller.
This 👇 is his schedule for the week. Two sports teams, one golfer, a campaign rally, and an event with his wife.
You'd think a guy who was upset that he lost two years would actually use his time to do SOMETHING. pic.twitter.com/Zbwqujqkue

Dick Durbin says A.G. Barr should recuse himself from the ongoing investigations spun off from the Mueller report.
"Mr. Barr should not be a hindrance or raise any questions about whether this is going to be an investigation and a prosecution with total integrity."

Theresa May urges Jeremy Corbyn to do a Brexit deal https://t.co/KH1iFYBydl
— BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) May 5, 2019
Corbyn RIP. May is set to offer a deal that meets his red lines: a Customs union, single market alignment and worker rights. But without a PV, that splits his party. If he accepts a PV, he must campaign with May for their deal. If he opts for more fudge Labour support collapses.

Sunderland MP @bphillipsonMP speaks more sense in one article than London media has uttered in millions of words. And certainly more sense than @jeremycorbyn bizarre judgement that local elections were a call for a co-owned Corbyn/May Brexit deal https://t.co/HwONOe2NvB
— Alastair PEOPLE’S VOTE Campbell (@campbellclaret) May 5, 2019
I've long felt that Brexit will destroy everything it touches. This article is very good on how that process is playing out. I agree that, should Corbyn and May agree a deal, both Labour and Tories will be damaged beyond repair in the eyes of electorate https://t.co/a6SHqeXdnQ
