Will there be a closed session afterward for anything he can't state publicly?

i think the reason for the first part is so that "no" can be the answer to the second part.

i could be wrong tho. hopefully i'm pleasantly surprised.

Someone is going to be eating their words before this is over.

No he didn't, he wanted a closed hearing but was forced to do an open.

He volunteered to testify and requested an open hearing. He didn't have to do either.

The administration wants it public so Jefferson Beauregard can say, "I can't say in public." Waste of time.

There is a lot he can say in a public setting. Like call Comey a liar if he wants to. But he won't use that language. He is a professional unlike Comey.

Sessions is a man who failed to protect Preet Bharara and James Comey from Trump.

Do we really want to listen to Sessions lie and say it never happened?

So, will he or won't he? NewsHour said he will an hour ago. I didn't switch over to fox afterwards to see their take on it. Wish it was public, tho.

I read in the NYT today that it will be public. I'm setting my DVR for another installment of Days of Our Lives in the White House
