"Most of the American people haven't read the report. I did in its entirety, but that's my job, it's not the job of the American people. So for most people, this will be the first time they will hear what's in that report, what was actually found in this investigation by Mr. Mueller and his team. It's a damning report with really disturbing evidence against the President, and I think it's going to have a powerful impact on the American people."
"This is not a hearing which Members of Congress should have any interest in highlighting themselves. It's really about giving Mr. Mueller an opportunity to give the American people this important information about what he found. I think you'll see people go quickly to their questions and avoid lots of speeches. I know you'll see that on the Democratic side. We understand from our Republican colleagues they will try the same old, same old, attack the FBI, attack the credibility of Mr. Mueller, bring up Peter Strzok, a bunch of red herrings to distract from a very damning testimony from the special counsel about the conduct of the President."
