Someone leaked the Trump/RNC talking points on the obstruction of justice investigation, and they show that Republicans are beyond screwed.
Here are the leaked Trump talking points:
Trump is going to say that there is no obstruction of justice. Criminal leakers are to blame for everything, and Hillary Clinton and Loretta Lynch should be investigated for obstruction of justice. The whole defense comes down to denial, blaming leakers, and Hillary Clinton.

The argument that the investigation is a distraction that is preventing them from carrying out their agenda should be tossed in the trash since an overwhelming majority disapprove of this president, his party, and their agenda. These talking points are terrible, and outside of the Fox News/true believers cult of Trump are likely only to make things worse for Republicans.
When the White House’s best defense is complaining about Hillary Clinton while ranting about leaks, they will better off not saying anything. The talking points are bad and likely only to make things worse for Trump.
