Special counsel Mueller, spill the beans

When former special counsel Robert Mueller testifies to the House Judiciary and Intelligence panels on Wednesday, there is bound to be a lot of dreary posturing by politicians. But we hope there will also be substantive questions and that they will be answered rather than stonewalled.

Sadly, if Mueller takes literally the guidance he requested and received from the Department of Justice, we will have to endure a tedious time, for he was instructed to stick to what was already published in his final report, which came out in March.
