The letter that brought all of this resulted in the person testifying to Congress.

I wonder how many attorneys here would be satisfied with the only response of a key witness being a letter, one that did not even answer specific questions asked.

The letter that resulted in the testifying was meant by the writer to be kept confidential, and only resulted in testimony because somebody on the left leaked it., probably to force her into testifying.Judge's letters have been made public

Judge's letters are under penalty of felony; Ford's was not.

I wonder how many attorneys would be satisfied with sworn, written testimony? Mueller apparently is.

Still, the larger point is, a letter was enough to bring this matter up, why is a letter not now enough?

I believe Mueller is OK with sworn, written testimony to questions he wants answered. I don't believe letting anyone write about whatever topic they want is satisfactory.

A letter is not enough because it does not allow professionals to probe the witness and test their answers. I get that he wrote a letter under penalty of a felony - is there no record in the history of our judicial system where someone has lied in a similar instance?

Bill Clinton lied under penalty of felony. Will that do?

Perfect example. So you see, people still lie, even if they're being threatened with a federal crime! Even if it's over something stupid.

That's why Judge should have his answers tested.
