i ll give you a public opening statement, let s do the q & a off camera and then go ahead and release a transcript. charlie, on one hand this seems to be a very reasonable ask on mueller s part. nadler even saying they know why mueller wants to do it that way. he doesn t want to be seen as a partisan, even though the president will make him look like one no matter what. i think people should dampen their expectations about what mueller s testimony is even going to mean. if i had to place a bet on it, i ll bet an awful lot of questions are going to be i ll stand by what s in the report. i ll let the report speak for itself. mueller, his whole career in achieving this above the partisan fray image that served him so well as fbi director so long really hates to be used as a tool in these partisan tussles. trump has tried to drag him into that rhetorically on twitter, but mueller has shown no sign he s going to play the game. daniellea, this is a bit of a box for house democrats.
