Tomorrow Robert Mueller finally testifies before the House. Will he tell Democrats what they want to hear? JonathanChait and realaxelfoley discuss

Mr. By-the-book himself. Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Intelligencer staffers Jonathan Chait and Benjamin Hart discuss what to expect when Robert Mueller finally testifies before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

Jon: I’d love to wring any bit of extra clarity about Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, neither of whom cooperated, and both of whom had the closest links to Russian cutouts during the campaign. He’s going to be very hesitant to reveal anything, but if I could pick an area for him to let down his guard somehow, that would be it.

Jon: It really depends on Mueller, who seems extremely reluctant to cooperate with their intentions here, but maybe getting him to elaborate more on definitions of some of the key terms … “did not establish” and “collusion” are important concepts. His failure to establish some things has been held up to mean “proof they never happened,” and a lack of charging a criminal conspiracy has become “no collusion” to the GOP.

Jon: He is apparently determined not to say that, having concluded that he can’t even suggest Trump is a criminal and saying as much would be tantamount to doing so. Barring a change of heart, it seems impossible.Jon: That could work. “It’s time for lunch.
