Guam tipper Hank Johnson has already come up with a conspiracy theory for Wednesday’s Mueller hearings. Johnson is already complaining about how Republicans refer to Mueller as Mew-Ler. Johnson is even claiming that there is a “secret memo” floating around instructing Republicans to pronounce Mueller’s name as Mew-Ler. How about we call Mueller for what he is. A corrupt dirty cop who has too many conflicts of interest not to be investigated.

At a Judiciary Committee hearing on July 12, Hank said that he has heard more and more Republicans calling the former special counsel “[Mew-ler],” instead of “[Muller].”
“I’ve heard more and more Republicans starting to pronounce Director Mueller’s name as ‘[Mew-ler].’” I’ve been hearing that over the past few weeks. Is that some kind of Republican attempt to besmirch Director Mueller?” Johnson asked.
He directed his question at Dr. John Eastman, a constitutional law professor at Chapman University’s Fowler School of Law and senior fellow at the Claremont Institute.
Eastman, seeming surprised, responded, “No, maybe it’s a bit of my German heritage. My mother’s maiden name was ‘Stein’ and the ‘[Mew-ler]’ is the German pronunciation, so.”
Johnson then said it seemed like there was a “secret memo” instructing Republicans to say ‘[Mew-ler].’”
“It’s ‘[Muller]’ and I’ve heard so many people saying “[Mew-ler]’ on the other side it just seems like there’s some kind of secret memo floating out there,” he stated, before moving on.
