On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Ari Melber had four Mueller witnesses — Carter Page, Sam Nunberg, Jerome Corsi and Michael Caputo — on at the same time.

Afterward, The Beat sent out this concise sum of the segment.

Mueller witnesses on whether Michael Cohen should speak to Congress before going to jail:

"I don't have any opinion on it" – Jerome Corsi
"I think he should" – Sam Nunberg
"I really couldn't care less" – Michael Caputo
"The more openness the better" – Carter Page pic.twitter.com/MmchYot0Ei

Yet others on Twitter also had reactions — strong reactions — to the four of them together on the same panel on MSNBC.

Some expressed surprise, while Jonathan Swan of Axios praised the lineup as “One of the great cable news bookings of all time.”
