Playbook: “All the ingredients are coming together for what can only be described as one of the most critical weeks of Donald Trump’s presidency. First, at some point today, we will probably know more about the Mueller report — probably just the top-line information, the takeaways as Attorney General Bill Barr will describe them. Second, Congress comes back to town tomorrow, and by Tuesday, the Capitol will be crawling with lawmakers, who will be forced to answer questions from reporters about the contents.”
“This is the kind of situation that will test Congressional leaders. The big questions: Will they be able to tamp down frustrated rank-and-file members who want more information than they are likely to have by early next week? Can Democrats successfully force all briefings to be unclassified, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have called for? One of the biggest challenges — especially in today’s media climate — is that leaders will try to have their party speak with one voice.”
