    Just as he did in May when he stepped down as special counsel, Mueller may try to drive Wednesday’s House committee hearings towards discussing Russian interference into our elections and away from questions of obstruction. Pls join us next as we discuss

    Who, if anyone, among the top-tier candidates, can turn this into a two person race with Biden? Sanders seems the least likely. Warren, Buttigieg, and Harris are much more interesting possibilities, writes
