SOS Tillerson and DAG Rosenstein set to testify in congress now. The main event dog and pony show later this afternoon.

Not sure where this is going but someone may have to jump through flaming hoops for the media.

Rosenstein (acting AG in Russia investigation) is very good at testifying. I'm not being sarcastic. When he and the heads of the FBI (acting), CIA and NSA testified last week, he was the standout in not taking any BS from the senators. Things the Senators knew very well were a matter of public record (as they related to Comey's firing), they tried to get him to say out loud because they knew everyone was watching and he kept reminding them that the answers they were seeking were already in the public record (and he wasn't about to repeat the same thing just to make them look good). What he accomplished was making sure they knew that he knew what they were up to and they came across as not doing due diligence before the hearing (because they would know it was in the public record, if they actually read it).

Rosenstein is smart and slick as a greased doorknob.

When ask one hypothetical question, he said he wasn't going to answer hypothetical questions.

When Susan Collins ask him the hypothetical question about what he would do if President Trump ask him to fire the special counsel he did answer.
This was the question ask after he said the President had never talked to him about the special counsel.

Slick as snot and out smarting many a Senator.
