Three PA Congressional Representatives get the chance to ask former Special Counsel Robert Mueller questions during yesterday’s hearing, while Rep. Susan Wild’s campaign raises $355K in Q2. Here is the Playbook. 

How Dean, Reschenthaler and Scanlon Spent the Mueller Hearing: The two Democrats, who support impeachment proceedings, asked about Wikileaks and Mueller’s letter to Attorney General Barr. Reschenthaler said the drafting and publication of some of the information in the report without an indictment or prosecution was Un-American.
