Question to the group, please. I've not been keeping up with the news the last few days and have not heard why the Clintons decided to agree to testify without it being a public testimony.

Does anyone know why they did? This is not a snide comment. I love both Big Dawg and Hillary and I was simply hoping to be able to see their testimony live.
