More specifically, he\u2019ll field questions from the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees in two separate sessions. If you haven\u2019t gotten around to reading the Mueller report yet<\/a>\u2014but seriously, read the Mueller report<\/a>\u2014now\u2019s your chance to hear it straight from the source. We'll be live-streaming it right here, bright and early.<\/p>\n Mueller will start his day at 8:30 am ET with a three-hour House Judiciary Committee session focused on obstruction of justice. Despite President Donald Trump\u2019s repeated insistence that the report found none, Volume II of the document details 10 incidents<\/a> in which Trump appears to have crossed the line. And while Attorney General William Barr opted not to pursue charges against Trump, Mueller\u2019s report says that \u201cif we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment.\u201d Expect plenty of questions about the gap between what the report says and how Barr framed it\u2014and declined to act on it\u2014especially given that Mueller has already directly complained to Barr<\/a> about that very thing.<\/p>\n The House Intelligence Committee will follow up after a short break; expect that portion to kick off at around noon, and to last two hours. Its focus will ostensibly be Russian interference, which Mueller has documented in painstaking detail through a pair of indictments focused on misinformation<\/a> and hacking<\/a>. Expect Democrats to zero in on the many points of contact between Russia and people in the Trump campaign\u2019s orbit. And again, while Trump has repeatedly crowed \u201cno collusion,\u201d Mueller explicitly states that collusion was not what his team investigated. The report focuses instead on criminal conspiracy, which it was unable to prove.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll embed a livestream above so that you can watch Mueller testify right here. You can also catch it on all the major networks, including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. And don\u2019t forget C-SPAN, which will carry it on TV, online, and over the radio. Basically, you\u2019d have to actively try to find a news organization that\u2019s not showing the Mueller hearings in some capacity. To keep it simple, stick with WIRED!<\/p>\n In the meantime, you can find no shortage of questions Congress should ask Mueller<\/a>. But the most important preparation you can do for tomorrow\u2019s historic moment is to manage your expectations. Mueller will almost certainly stick to what\u2019s in the report itself, and not just because the Justice Department has explicitly told him to<\/a>. That means there won\u2019t be any 11th-hour reveal, or stunning disclosure that forces impeachment proceedings to start immediately. He won\u2019t discuss ongoing investigations into Roger Stone, or throw his own report\u2019s redactions to the wind. Nor will Mueller\u2019s testimony lend credence to Deep State conspiracy theories, however much time House Intelligence Committee ranking member and bad faith aficionado Devin Nunes<\/a> gets at the dais.<\/p>\n Robert Mueller has already told you everything he\u2019s going to say. It\u2019s all in his 448-page report, the culmination of years of work. It already outlines, with absolute clarity, manifold abuses of power, obstruction of justice, and unsavory relations with a hostile foreign power. It practically implores Congress<\/a> to impeach Donald Trump. Here, see for yourself.<\/p>\n
