Part at least of some sof the questioning tomorrow as the committee takes a look at this, and of course, some of the answers may still be of a classified nature and there may be some things that well hear comey and others say theyll have to do a private session where the members of the committee can know about it, but not discussed in open hearing, but it will be highly watched, jacob. you can imagine there will be great interest in this. >> no doubt about that. high ratings as the president of ...
