One of the potentially fun aspects of @LindseyGrahamSC calling Robert Mueller to testify is it's clear he knows fuckall about what the public record shows. Then again, Lindsey may not be helped by reading the news. https://twitter.com/jeremyherb/status/1283115431604232193
For example, Mueller has testified, ALREADY, that his office wasn't involved in the reauthorization (just one) of the Carter Page FISA.

But Mueller MIGHT explain how Carter Page lied to the FBI in March 2017. Or how some witnesses seemed to corroborate the Steele dossier.
Mueller MIGHT also explain that by August 2017, his office had further evidence that Mike Flynn lied about his calls with Sergei Kislyak--and others did too.
Horowitz didn't actually conclude that the most salacious allegation (the pee tape) was not proven. He raised reasons to be concerned abt other aspects of it. Mueller, tho, might explain how a witness used the pee tape in the same way, AND that it was out there in 2013.
Mueller might explain THAT the FBI did consider this stuff--later than they should have--but also HOW the disinformation worked.
Democrats on the committee will have an opportunity to ask Mueller to explain the role of Barbara Ledeen--the staffer leading this investigation--in attempting to reach out to foreign intelligence to get dirt on Hillary.
They also might ask Mueller what Barbara's husband, Michael, said to Mike Flynn just before Mike Flynn called up the country that had just attacked us and sided with that foreign country over the US.

Michael Ledeen ... has a history.
FWIW, I doubt Mueller will be any more forthcoming than he was in the House (though, even if he replicates just that, he will disabuse Lindsey of some errors on the dossier, the FISA, Carter Page, and Flynn). But if he got chatty Lindsey might really regret all that.
The question is--why poor Lindsey is allowed to wallow in the mistaken beliefs gotten from personally implicated staffer Barbara Ledeen, why he isn't corrected in the press?
