chuck, i know you had the same job that aaron zebley did as chief of staff at fbi. what do you make of this? >> well, first, aaron is as smart and humble and diligent as you could possibly hope for. he also will know the case backward and forward. he worked right next to bob for years, including on the entire special counsel project. so here's what i make of it. if bob doesn't know an answer, aaron will. and aaron's testified in big cases before, including in the eastern district of virginia when i was u.s. attorney. aaron went from being an fbi special agent to being a federal prosecutor and was one of the most important witnesses in our presentation of the 9/11 case. so big case experience. diligent, humble, smart and earnest. knows the case backwards and forwards and will help tell the story. >> neal, what do you make about the sort of churn around this decision today? obviously these two committees, i'm not sure about what the timing was in terms of when this was first broached and how
