A Teens for Gun Reform demonstration in Washington, DC, on February 20.

Grading on the post-2016 scale, it was a relatively earth shattering revelation-free weekend. And so we have some time to regroup and take a look at more iterative developments in Mueller investigation- and Parkland-adjacent news.

Developments like the Schiff memo and the corporate NRA boycott and the new charges against Paul Manafort and the Rick Gates guilty plea. And remember, folks: This was a slow weekend.

Also this hour: your phone calls.

GUEST:
  • Saranac Hale Spencer - A staff writer for FactCheck.org
  • Jeremy Stahl - A Slate senior editor
