Playbook: “What we learned Monday is that any hearing about Robert Mueller and obstruction is going to turn into a partisan war between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans tried to discredit John Dean as a money-hungry, fame-seeking crook. The top of Monday’s hearing didn’t even get aired live on cable because of the helicopter crash in New York.”

“Unless President Trump begins allowing some of his associates to testify, it’s going to be tough for these hearings to break through — and many Democrats realize that.”
