Testimony this morning. yes, he will be watching but hes not going to be, quote, glued to the tv. the expectation over here is that the president will not be tweeting during all of this. if you look at the presidents twitter account, astonishingly he has not posted a tweet in a day, not since yesterday. so he has not been offering any kind of prebuttle. of course all of that could change when jim comey starts testifying. but they are not playing any bets over here. also interesting to note, wolf...
