intelligence and counterintelligence information to fbi headquarters and fbi field offices, end quote. the mueller report says that these summaries contain information that s not included in the mueller report itself. have you reviewed these summaries and information? well, senator, i want to be careful not to be discussing the special counsel s report, especially when the special counsel himself is going to be testifying at length tomorrow. that wasn t the question, though. what happened to all of the intelligence information garnered in mueller s investigation that didn t get recorded in mueller s report? what happened to all that stuff? for the record, fbi director chris wray said he would be happy to check on that. the fbi director also clarified for the record today that he himself, the fbi director, hasn t read the mueller report. have you read the mueller report? i ve reviewed it.
people trying cases together under the very simple premise that two heads are better than one. neal, one of the things that you raised in an op-ed today in the new york times was that the questioning could actually be very simple and direct. that the special counsel and indeed mr. zebley alongside him should perhaps just be asked about the way the president has characterized mueller s findings. ask him if it s true that it proved no collusion, that it proved no obstruction. why do you think that s an effective approach? well, because i think ultimately this is a really simple set of questions, which is did the president obstruct justice? and after mueller turned in his report, the attorney general spun it without showing us the report for many weeks and said, oh, it shows no obstruction. the report actually says the reverse, which is why over 1,000 former federal prosecutors, including today jim comey in another part of the clip before nicolle wallace saying, look, if i read that
intelligence information garnered in mueller s investigation that didn t get recorded in mueller s report? what happened to all that stuff? for the record, fbi director chris wray said he would be happy to check on that. the fbi director also clarified for the record today that he, himself, the fbi director hasn t read the mueller report. have you read the mueller report? i ve reviewed it. i wouldn t say i read every single word. that s a big part of why democrats say they wanted robert mueller to testify tomorrow anyway, right? so people who haven t read the report can, you know, watch the movie instead of reading the book. who knew that would include the director of the fbi himself? we know democrats on the judiciary committee held a mock hearing today for about 2 1/2 hours as part of their prep complete with somebody playing the part of a likely interrupter who was trying to get them off their game when they were
they re making these decisions. it seems like the judiciary committee won t swear mr. zebley in. they ll allow him to advise mr. mueller but not answer his own questions. the intelligence committee will handle it different. obviously it s a little unusual to have a second witness at the last moment. yeah, look, it s unusual. we re all guessing as to what s going on but i think fundamentally it s not going to kay very much. we expect mueller to go in tomorrow and do what he said, which is he s going to stick to the four corners of his report. the question is are the democrats going to grandstand in the house or are they going to actually get at the heart of this and say to mueller, tell us what your report actually says. because i think if the american people hear what the report actually says as opposed to the spin around it, it s going to be a devastating day for the president. this is a bit of a sensitive question. and you can brush me back either of you if you think it s inappro
mueller report and the underlying evidence. it s not surprising. it s very disappointing. do you expect that robert mueller will follow those strictures as laid out by the justice department or do you expect that he will take a similar view of that instruction that you and your chairman have? you know, i i don t know. i think that s the $50 million question right now. you know, bob mueller has shown that, you know, he s very thorough, but he s very much a rule follower and i m just not sure how he s going to view these rules. we know that he was distressed, shall we say, by the way that attorney general barr tried to shape his report and mischaracterize his report. i don t know if that will inform his testimony tomorrow. we are looking forward to hearing his statement, which i understand has not been provided to the department of justice. congresswoman mary gay scanlon, vice chair of the judiciary committee. if a decision changes tonight about aaron zebley and whether he s goin
