      I don't expect anything interesting to come from Mueller's testimony.

      I'd love to be incredibly wrong on that though.

      He seems to be very invested in not overstepping the bounds of his office/role as he sees them. As a former special council what will he feel like he can say?

          I have to sadly agree with you. The current average American only cares about something like this if they can consume the message in small sound bites. And I have a feeling Muller will be paraphrasing from the report, and unfortunately, only what hasn't been redacted. Here's what he said in his public address last month.

          I hope and expect this to be the only time that I will speak about this matter. I am making that decision myself—no one has told me whether I can or should testify or speak further about this matter.

          There has been discussion about an appearance before Congress. Any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report. It contains our findings and analysis, and the reasons for the decisions we made. We chose those words carefully, and the work speaks for itself.
