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 going to be sworn in and testifying to your committee like he is to intelligence,
tell your doctor if you have an infection or have symptoms, or if you plan to or have recently received a vaccine. this could be your chance to leave your psoriasis symptoms behind. ask your doctor for ilumya today, for a clearer tomorrow. preparations are going well. we re taking it very seriously. we believe this is an important moment, not simply for congress or the judiciary committee, it s an important moment for the country. we simply went through what we want to do tomorrow, which is tell the story of this report. i do expect him to have striking testimony tomorrow. it will be up to the american people on how they receive it. the president and the attorney general have systematically lied to the american people. they ve said no obstruction, no collusion, he was totally exonerated. all three of those statements are not true. we feel very prepared and i think we re going to you know, i think it s going to be a good hearing tomorrow. if it had not been intercepted
to answer these questions? is that possibly what s going on here? i don t know for sure. i do know this. at the end of a 22-month investigation and a 448-page report, it s nice to have someone sitting next to you to help you. mm-hmm. if i stumble here, neal will pick it up and, you know, carry it across the finish line. that s comforting. five hours of testimony before two committees about an investigation that long and complex probably calls for two people. now, it is unusual, but i can tell you as a federal prosecutor, we almost always had 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 collu
that legal barrier doesn t exist. yeah. i think he s got to answer the question tomorrow. i would love to be wrong. neal katyal, chuck rosenberg, i know you two are going to be a key part of our footage our coverage of this as it unfolds over the course of tomorrow. which i know means you have to go home and go to sleep right this second. thank you so much for being here tonight. i really appreciate it. i ll see you tomorrow. all right. we ve got much more to get to this mueller testimony eve. we ve actually got the vice chair of the judiciary committee who can hopefully help us with this breaking news. stay with us. this breaking news stay with us i don t keep track of regrets.
well, if this has been the plan to have aaron zebley sitting there with mueller at his open testimony tomorrow and that was discussed with the two committees more than a week ago, i mean, that may be true. this is the first that we, the public, are hearing about it for sure. we had thought that maybe some of mueller s deputies including zebley might initially be testifying in closed sessions following mueller s open testimony. then that was reportedly either still in process or maybe cancelled. today s the first day that we learned that he ll be sitting there with mueller. what we understand about the judiciary committee s process is that while they believe they had notice from mueller s office that zebley was due to accompany mueller at the hearing, they didn t necessarily understand that to mean that zebley would be sitting at the table with mueller. it seems like maybe they thought he would be there kind of as a date, right? as support staff sitting behind him, looking sternly at th
