Not surprised at all. Dems don’t realize that Mueller’s disingenuous presser was the best he could give them. Subjecting him to critical questions — there are many to ask — is the worst thing they could give him, and themselves.
Post-report, we’ve seen Mueller’s disingenuousness exposed: Kilimnik had extensive US ties that were minimized; Mueller team had to admit IRA, Russian troll farm, was not the Russian govt, & was rebuked by judge for suggesting otherwise;
Mueller had to issue a joint statement w/ Barr clarifying his misleading remarks; and more. My read is that he’s delaying testimony to buy himself as little Congressional scrutiny as possible when he finally appears.
Or additionally, buying more time to prepare for the critical Qs he’ll inevitably face.
Also: July 24th is just two days before the August recess. After endlessly hyping collusion & impeachment expectations, this July 24 delay gives Russiagate-peddling Democrats a quick exit from DC & the camera lights after Mueller’s testimony delivers yet one more dud.
