When was the last time one needed to? (serious answer)
Let's see...NEEDED?
Bush and Cheney needed to answer as to why they invaded a sovereign country and killed well over 500,000 civilians? Did they? They "testified" off the record, not under oath, behind closed doors.
Clinton was deposed about Monica Lewinsky. Did he need to be? No, not for that. But for war crimes? Ask the Serbians (and others)

Mueller has basically dared the House to initiate impeachment proceedings. Sure hope they do. It will ensure four more years for Trump. I have major issues with Trump but he will be far better than any of the wackos from the left.
I still will not be surprised for Team Obama (with their handler Valerie Jarrett in tow) to come in and save the day by running Michael. They are being conspicuously silent. Michael is the only Dem that can beat Trump.

So it wasn’t a hoax or witch-hunt. Russians did interfere on behalf of president* pornfuquer and he did attempt to obstruct the investigation. He could not be charged under DOJ guidelines so Mueller is leaving it to the House because it is their duty to discover if crimes were comitted and individual one is again obstructing. In bizarro Trumanzee world this is known as total vindication.

Let's see...NEEDED?Not totally following your logic... All of the above should have been forced to testify about any wrongdoing. Does that justify completely shutting down all the current and past Trump white house aides from testifying about anything? Are we just giving up on all accountability and oversight? I guess you are full bore for totalitarianism because that's where we are headed. At least two major players have mentioned concerns that if Trump loses in 2020 that he might not be amicable to giving up power. What then... civil war?

No, that's the point. They sure needed to be IMO.

A simplified way to understand this:
1. Mueller’s investigation found plenty of evidence that Trump committed crimes.
2. Dept. of Justice rules prohibit charging a sitting president
3. Because of this, he was prohibited from divulging any evidence about a target that would not be able to have his day in court to defend himself.
4. He found an eloquent way to express this without disrespecting the letter of the law.

Oh, by the way, the Russians contacted the Trump campaign over one hundred times, and the Trump campaign never reported any of this to any law enforcement agency. I guess passive complicity doesn’t count as conspiracy.

It's political games. Clinton's admin did it when he was getting drilled by Ken Starr. Remember that ridiculousness? Bush/Cheney 43 did it. Obama did it in regards to Fast and Furious.
Actually, I WANT Congress to stand up and do their job, on many fronts, but they are just bought and paid for.
Of course I am not for totallitarianism. I am for personal liberty.
No matter who was going to be POTUS, our country, the world, is slowly heading toward a totalitaran existence. Surveillance is becoming more prevalent. Biometric ID, FinCen, Patriot Act, NDAA, Facebook, Amazon, GOOGLE. "Technocracy". Check out the excellent book by Patrick Wood "Technocracy Rising". Or this online book: Audiobook: How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World
To your point about Trump losing and not giving up power. The right was all panicked that Bill Clinton would not leave power, would suspend elections. The right was panicked as well about Obama not leaving office.
As for civil war, we are closer than many think IMO. We are being divided, sub divided. We are being herded to various tribes.

Trump would crumple like a paper hat in the rain if he had to testify. It would be great TV though.It would be HUGE!

No, that's the point. They sure needed to be IMO.And that’s another point, your opinion doesn’t matter. Those in charge of subpoenas at the time believed differently.
That’s the past let’s stick to the current lying POS in the White House.
