It’s Mueller Week

July 22, 2019 at 6:46 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Playbook: “On Wednesday, Mueller will come to Capitol Hill to testify. There are two theories rattling around the town. One: that the hearing will be a bust, since Mueller has said he won’t say anything outside the four corners of his report. Two: that the hearing will be powerful no matter what he says. Mueller has been mostly silent for years, and his reading the report could be consequential enough — not least for the reaction it provokes from the TV watcher in chief.”

“To give a sense of just how much coverage these hearings will get, take a look at how the networks are planning to handle them. They’re all wall to wall with their biggest names.”
