pelosi is on board because the swing district reps are on board, and those reps are on board because this is so loving bad even one of the fox and friends hosts was like "well im sure the left is lying but if this was true it would be really bad" while trump was busy admitting it was true

they're moving because they think they've found what are, basically, the nixon tapes

Chris Wallace on Fox News saying "There's some meat on the bones, here."

:wow:

Chris Wallace and Shep are like the only two half-decent reporters left at Fox News. This isn't shocking for him to say.

Still he's absolutely right, but I expect the Hannity/Ingraham/ Tucker trifecta to be in maximum spin mode tonight.

God damn it, you've got to be kind.
All I ask is that the Democrats do everything in their power to hold Trump and the GOP accountable. That's it. I don't expect them to wave a magic wand and make Trump disappear. I expect them to investigate. I expect them to impeach. I expect them to seize the goddamn moral high ground from the most amoral collection of Republican shitbags in history.

That's all I ask.

Can a bigger procedural nerd than me explain what these heightened powers are, exactly? Do they get to start locking people up if they don't comply with subpoenas?

Also I'm sure in Trump's diseased brain he thinks Maxine Waters is involved because she hates him, and not because she's the Chair of the House Financial Services Committee.*


*well ok it could also partially be because she hates him, but who could blame her.

Federal judges can, and also issue fines, and democrats now have more power to request subpoena enforcement. They don't need to explain why a subpoena is relevant, really - it's all relevant under an impeachment inquiry.

Im actually just substantially amazed that trump finally amassed such an egregious threshold of titfaced neon crimedoing that Pelosi was forced to act. This is an amazing threshold to pass, when you think about it. Seven levels of extra comedic incompetence in corruption.

It is easy to kind of skip over it because we've been desensitized by Trump's continuous lawbreaking but holy poo poo is what he did bad. It really doesn't get much worse on the "abuse of office" scale than "Hey, take out a political rival of mine or I'll use my official powers to hurt you" (he's done morally worse things of course).

Maybe Pelosi is playing 18 dimensional chess by refusing impeachment and allowing Trump to commit dozens of more crimes just so she can say now we are going to have impeachment hearings into your dozens of crimes.

This is sarcasm by the way.

Of course, they know that the whole point of this inquiry being formally launched is to get the facts but the GOP relies on everyone being too stupid or ill-informed to know that.

what he did is exactly what he was accused of doing in the russia investigation, except this time he did it directly, on tape
