I think it is important that Mueller testify. Barr is a waste of time, he should have testified after the report was released but that would have raised some questions. I don't expect much from Barr anymore than Huckabee Sanders or Kelly Anne.
Trump can’t run the Mueller playbook on New York feds
For starters, they have jurisdiction over the president’s political operation and businesses — subjects that executive privilege doesn't cover.

Manhattan-based federal prosecutors can challenge Trump in ways Mueller can’t. They have jurisdiction over the president’s political operation and businesses — subjects that aren’t protected by executive privilege, a tool Trump is considering invoking to block portions of Mueller’s report. From a PR perspective, Trump has been unable to run the same playbook on SDNY that he’s used to erode conservatives’ faith in Mueller, the former George W. Bush-appointed FBI director. Legal circles are also buzzing over whether SDNY might buck DOJ guidance and seek to indict a sitting president.

Agree about Mr. Mueller, also think he won't need to be subpoenaed to testify. Fancy that, someone who is NOT attempting to obstruct. What a shocker.
I wouldn't be too concerned with some of these nonsensical responses.
Mr. Trump is not gonna say 'Bless your heart' to the folks at SDNY. Those folks don't mess around & Trump.org is not a sitting President.
Great, do tell....what did SDNY have to do with your current presidents situation? You can answer, but I'm sure it will be a nonsensical response (as always).
Oh, yea....and think about this...if SDNY "don't mess around" why did it take trump to become your president for them to start looking,if they "don't mess around"?
Remember that Trump’s appointee recused himself from the Cohen investigation and Trump attempted to get Whittaker to intervene and get the SDNY chief to take an active role...
As long as the OLC upholds the “you can’t charge a sitting president” memo then SDNY is only going to be gathering info — which is great—but info has to be implemented in grand jury hearings and charges...
It would be better if SDNY passed info to the NYAG on any charges that fall within state’s prosecution...
And let them have at it
The OLC’s memo has no bearing on what the state does...
Trump Faces Threat in New York Lawsuit Even After Charity Closes
Agrees to end foundation, but attorney general’s suit remains
Quote:
Underwood sued in June, alleging the foundation functioned as “little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests.” She claimed that Trump’s children, as directors of the charity, had neglected their duties under state law. In November, a judge rejected the nonprofit’s request to throw the case out.
“Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation -- including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more," Underwood said in a statement Tuesday.
I have no problem but I can't say the same for you.
What is not in the report, is about to hit the fan.
What Mueller didn't say, soon will be.
