Playbook: “House Democrats have griped behind the scenes that their agenda is getting short shrift. The DCCC has presented Democrats with stark polling to back that up. Democratic leadership has suggested privately that impeachment could cost the party their majority and the White House.”
“But now, with Robert Mueller’s planned appearance in front of two House committees next month, House Democrats have set up a nearly monthlong period of intense political suspense and speculation that only heightens and highlights impeachment, and risks completely drowning out anything else the party will do.”
“Mueller and impeachment are now assured to be the dominant and likely singular conversation from now until the August recess. Is July 17 the beginning of impeachment? Or just another event the leadership will be able to blow by?”
