In what has been called a “make-or-break moment” for Democrats, Mueller is expected to devote at least three hours to back-to-back hearings in front of the House judiciary and intelligence committees, which could fuel calls for impeachment proceedings to begin.

What is Mueller thought to be withholding, what might be the secret silver bullet he is about to reveal? Why has he chosen to cache this weapon until now?
