The other thing is there's this tendency, i think, that we have to view mueller as this mystical sage up on a mountain who shan't come down and grace us with his pr a human being. he works for the department of justice. he's already testified in congress over 50 times in his career. there's nothing sort of magical or misserioysterious about this. he's done the most important investigation we've seen in the united states in law enforcement in decades. he needs to come down and answer questions. i don't think there's any question about that. maybe they'll negotiate terms, but yes, we will hear f...

Point. if the question is, would impeachment make things easier for democrats to ask these questions and get those answers, the unequivocal answer seems to be yes. >> it opens a whole other avenue through which to get information and go to the courts and enforce their subpoenas. >> whether it's worth it, that's a whole different issue. >> i know we also want to touch on what's happening, or not happening, with robert mueller. cnn reporting that he's hesitant because there is concern about this being political, about his testimony being political. it would seem in many ways whether he wants it ...
