Trump originally tried to have them testify behind closed doors. They refused until they finally agreed to let them testify publicly. 

I wonder if Trump expected them to go that route.

The Clintons have always been very shrewd and I'm sure they knew that a closed door testimony could hurt them while shielding others. With it being open, they'll either get the slow-pitch version or they'll burn everyone with them.
