It was the consensus of most legal scholars that Mueller would not let his potential start witness go under oath with Congress UNLESSS he was fully briefed on what Comey would testify to—and approved it. Thus the written statement which was publicly released before the hearing was surprising indeed.

My take is this: If Comey got Mueller’s approval of the written statement and testimony that would ensue from that, just how much input to the statement did Mueller have? Is it normal for a Special Counsel to have any input or approval for such a statement by a potential witness?

Since they are supposed to be good friends and were in a past relationship described as “mentoring” , doen’t ANY contact between Mueller and Comey related to his testimony before Congress bear the taint of “potential collusion”. Are we now seeing a Special Counsel guide his protoge’ though testimony that would later be used as the basis for an investigation into “obstruction of justice.”
