Yes, Saratoga or perhaps Midway are the proper analogies here. Waterloo was the absolute final end, and we’re nowhere near that. But we’ve had the turning point conflict. There’s a lot left and will be ups and downs, but you can see that from here on, nothing is going to go seriously right for Trump.

Jr. isn’t in the administration, he’s supposedly running the Trump Org instead of Pops. Ivanka’s role is also dubious and possibly illegal.

“only the Mob takes the Fifth” I recall some stable genius saying.
(BTW, isn’t a “stable genius” someone really good at pitching horseshit?)

Good point re Don Jr. Amended my post accordingly. Ivanka is a government employee, though.

there will be no claim of executive privilege with regard to Nadler’s request. Trump will simply ignore the request…and Nadler will write another strongly worded letter.
And Trump’s attorney’s will enter into negotiations for the documents and testimony, and that will take months, and Nadler will send another strongly worded letter, threatening a subpoena, and the Trump will make minimal concessions and release some documents, which will delay the subpoena threat while Nadler composes another strongly worded letter…
Nadler will finally issue the subpoena, which Trump will ignore, so Nadler will go to court, and the courts will take their sweet time, etc. etc. etc…
The House needs to empanel a “special Committee” to investigate evidence of possible impeachable offenses that puts subpoena power in the hands of someone who will use it. The courts will be much more likely to back the House if a subpoena is issued in reference to an impeachment inquiry, rather than regular “oversight”…so Pelosi needs to stop messing around, and get this stuff taken care of right now.

This is why we fought so hard to win the House. We are coming for them in a calm, professional manner that will prove completely ruinous to the facade of invincibility they are trying to project. Things are getting seriously life altering for Trumps circle. Enjoy

Yelling, screaming, insults, outrage, they can understand. Torches and pitchforks, they can fight back against.
Being rational human beings relentlessly and effectively pursuing organized criminals, they find inconceivable.

But first he’ll be tackled by the Nadler Goliath.

Right bleeping on. Former chair Goodlatte saw nothing, heard nothing, did nothing.
his goal was to present “the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power,” which could lay the groundwork for eventual impeachment proceedings or other congressional action. He added that it was “very clear that the president obstructed justice.”

I was thinking about the same
Especially after listening to Trump whine at CPAC about all the investigations .
Imagine the investigations they would have subjected Hillary to if she had won
They would have started impeachment proceedings at 12:01 Jan 20th.
Trump would have sued and whined about election fraud
It would have been ugly

Is that so? And you say this because…?
I’d quote “End of the Innocence” by Don Henley, but there was never any innocence in this dumpster fire of criminality called the “Trump Administration” to begin with.
Thank Heaven at least one person gets my obscure historical references.

Banking leak exposes Russian network with link to Prince Charles
Exclusive: investigation reveals how Troika Dialog channelled $4.6bn to Europe and US
Banking leak exposes Russian network with link to Prince Charles | Banking | The Guardian
A charity run by Prince Charles received donations from an offshore company that was used to funnel vast amounts of cash from Russia in a scheme that is under investigation by prosecutors, the Guardian can reveal.
Money flowing through the network included cash that can be linked to some of the most notorious frauds committed during Vladimir Putin’s presidency.
In all, it is estimated that $4.6bn (£3.5bn) was sent to Europe and the US from a Russian-operated network of 70 offshore companies with accounts in Lithuania.
The details have emerged from 1.3m banking transactions obtained by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and the Lithuanian website 15min.lt.
Shared with media partners including the Guardian, the data represents one of the largest ever banking leaks.
There is no suggestion that end recipients of funds were aware of the original source of the money, which arrived via a disguised route. However, the documents indicate that criminal and legitimate money may have been mixed together, making it impossible to trace the original source, before passing through screen companies into the global banking system.
