Special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress is shaping up to be a bit of a dud, as neither he nor lawmakers have revealed anything new or of any real significance. This should come as a great embarrassment to the newsrooms that claimed these would be some of the most important “high-stakes” hearings in recent memory.

“We’re just hours away now from perhaps the most anticipated Congressional testimony of the decade,” NBC News tweeted early Wednesday morning, adding it “has everything you need to know before Robert Mueller’s high-stakes appearance on Capitol Hill.”

Bloomberg News published a headline titled, “In high-stakes Mueller hearing, there are big risks for everyone.”
