Expectations will be sky high that the Russia investigator might reveal incriminating — possibly even impeachable — new evidence about the president. Don't bank on it.
“If it’s not something that DOJ made public, I don’t think he’ll talk about it,” said Matthew Miller, a former Obama-era DOJ spokesman.
“Momentum is building,” the Georgia Democrat said. “So, when and if it gets to that point, I think it will be one of the more notable moments in the history of Congress.” Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill have spent much of the last two years attempting to undermine the legitimacy of Mueller’s probe, questioning the biases of the investigators and prosecutors, disparaging the evidence used to launch the original investigation into Trump’s campaign. They’ve also clashed with the Justice Department by demanding internal documents and testimony from top officials that they say will back up their malfeasance allegations.
Putting Mueller on the record could also backfire on Democrats if the special counsel ultimately determines Trump and his campaign are in the clear.
