"The Mueller report is very damning. A fair reading of it shows that the Russians attacked us in 2016, that there was some collusion and a lot of obstruction of justice. We need Robert Mueller simply to highlight the relevant portions of his report. We're not looking for a Hail Mary here. We just need a first down. Every week we're progressing down the field, getting more facts to the American people and we look forward to July 17th when he can provide a lot of this information directly to the American people."

"This report has a lot of very damning evidence in it. If [Mueller] simply would highlight the obstruction of justice sections he can walk the American people through how Donald Trump essentially committed multiple felonies as President in obstructing justice. We're simply trying to get the facts of the Mueller report out. We want to bring them to life and Robert Mueller is the perfect witness to do that."

"So why is Bill Barr so scared of Robert Mueller testifying? It's because Mueller is going to contradict what Bill Barr did in representing the report to the American people. Robert Mueller is going to show that there was a lot of the obstruction of justice and Bill Barr when he represented this report he really failed the American people. That's why I think Bill Barr is scared."
