It does create an odd situation that is not exactly normal for these types of situations. so i think it does raise some concern if youre the presidents lawyers as to what exactly is happening behind the scenes here and whether this changes the tenor of tomorrows hearing as far as the president is concerned. >> like mueller, zebley is now a private citizen. you are not necessarily bound by any gag orders from the department of justice. >> he is not. the justice department is objecting to this tes...
