Ack! Hit the wrong button. Anyway I danced in my living room when I heard Rep. Nadler call the proceedings an impeachment inquiry. I scared my dog because of my enthusiasm.

And Trump’s financial docs are coming in from multiple banks. Coincidence or karma?

Hard to believe Slow-Walking Jerry, but I hope he is telling the truth and steps up the pace.

The Mueller Report was issued March 23d and Congress still has not seen it. And Congress still has not seen the tax returns.

Meanwhile, crimes against humanity continue unabated on our southern border.

I did last night.
When trump’s out of office, by whatever means, I’ll repeat the dance only it will be in the street in front of my house (to the chagrin of my neighbors).

At this point the pace is not something he controls exclusively.

Courts, for example, have their own calendars.

We’ll see how Nadler does with all that.

Not now… too early where I am. And it’s raining so no dancing outside right now. Nadler did outline how things will proceed. He thinks articles of impeachment could be over to the senate by the early fall (mid-october) which is lightening speed for our gov’t.

That’s my concern too. He will only push the the China thing so far, as he knows the only thing he can point to is the economy, But…a war…a big shiny battle with HIS generals? He’s there.

Agreed, but the parts he does control exclusively, he has been slow-walking, including court-filings and criminal Contempt of Congress motions.

Example: Here we are in the middle of the August congressional recess vacation and he is only now announcing that he is conducting an impeachment investigation.
