VOA常速英语2019--穆勒将出面就通俄案提供证词（在线收听）

Robert Muller will testify before to US House committees about his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion and obstruction of justice involving President Trump and his White House. In May, Muller told reporters not to expect much beyond what is already contained in his report. And the report is my testimony. I would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress. Muller concluded there was insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy or coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign to impact the election. But Muller is likely to face numerous questions from Democrats about his decision not to render a judgment on whether President Trump engaged in possible obstruction of justice in connection with the Russia investigation. If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not however make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime. Under long-standing Department policy, any president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. We had such luck.

罗伯特·穆勒将在美国众议院委员会前提供证词，证词与他写的报告有关。报告是关于俄罗斯干涉2016年总统大选、特朗普及其政府可能存在的通俄行为和妨碍司法行为。5月，穆勒曾在接受记者采访时表示，不要抱太高期望，他出庭提供的信息也不会比报告中的内容多。而且报告其实就是我的证词。我不会提供报告以外的信息，而且报告已经公开在国会面前了。穆勒的结论是：没有充分的证据可以证明特朗普与俄罗斯之间存在犯罪预谋或者犯罪勾结。但穆勒很有可能要面对民主党的大量质疑——为何穆勒最终决定不对特朗普是否妨碍通俄案调查的司法公正做评判。如果之前我们就相信特朗普明显没有犯罪德华，那我们一定会说出来的。但我们并未就特朗普是否犯罪做评判。根据国务院长期以来的政策——任何总统在任期间都不能被控以联邦罪名。我们很幸运。

President Trump has repeatedly tweeted about the report and his mantra of no collusion, no obstruction has been a constant at his political realm. For the last two-and-a-half years, we have been under siege, and with the Muller report we won and now they want a do-over, they want to do over. Let’s do it again. Didn’t work out too well. Let’s do it again. Democrats including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler say they intend to press Muller on the conclusions of his report. The president joined in by repeatedly saying no collusion, no obstruction which is not what the report found. So I think it’s very important that the American people hear from Mr. Muller as to what he did find what the results of that two-year investigation were. The outcome of Muller’s testimony could have an impact on whether congressional Democrats push for an impeachment inquiry of the president, says analyst Andra Gillespie. President Trump has survived the Muller Investigation, but you know I think you know it’s an open question about whether or not Democrats would push for an impeachment, whether or not they could find additional evidence that might sway anybody’s opinion one way or the other. The Muller report has already taken on a life of its own among both the president’s critics and his supporters. Hollywood actors recently staged a dramatic reading of the report at a performance in New York with John Lithgow portraying President Trump. But the president returned to the subject of Commi’s job at the end of the dinner and repeated. I need loyalty. You will always get honesty from me. That’s what I want. Honest loyalty. Muller’s public testimony before the two House committees is expected to last for several hours.

特朗普总统一直都在发与穆勒报告有关的推文，还反复念叨自己‘没勾结俄罗斯，没有妨碍司法公正’，这已经成了他政治生涯的一个常态了。在过去两年半的时间里，我们受到攻击。穆勒报告的发布代表着我们的胜利，而现在，他们又想重头再来，反复再来。再来一遍吧，因为上次效果不好，再做一遍吧。许多民主党议员，包括众议员司法委员会主席杰里·纳德勒都表示他们想向穆勒施压，让他给报告出一个结论。特朗普也掺和进来，反复强调自己‘没勾结俄罗斯，没有妨碍司法公正’，但这并不是报告发现的结果。所以我认为很重要的一点是——美国人民要关注穆勒2年调查的切实结果是什么。穆勒提供怎样的证词会影响国会民主党是否会推动针对特朗普的弹劾，分析师安德拉·吉莱斯皮如是说道。特朗普熬过了穆勒的调查报告，但我想大家都知道民主党是否推动弹劾是个悬而未决的事情，而且目前也不确定民主党是否会找到其他能改变外界看法的证据。穆勒报告现在已经成为特朗普反对者和支持者关注的事情。许多好莱坞演员最近也以戏剧性的方式阅读了这份报告，场合是在纽约的一次演出上，跟他们一起读这份报告的还有扮演特朗普的约翰·利思戈。不过，特朗普还是能侃回到康尼工作的话题上，而且可以反复重申自己的无辜。我需要的是忠诚。我跟你们说的都是实话。这也是我想要的——诚实与忠诚。穆勒的公开证词将在众议员2个委员面前做出，预计将持续数小时。
