Surprise! Well, not really. It was bound to happen but I was absolutely ecstatic to see the Resolution of Inquiry that was introduced yesterday. Yay, Congressman Nadler and his host of co-sponsors! For anyone curious, this is the first step necessary in an impeachment process — Gather evidence into the list of wrong-doings, with the full authority of the law to do so.
“Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), senior Member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced a Resolution of Inquiry directing the Department of Justice to provide the House of Representatives with any and all information relevant to an inquiry into President Trump and his associates’ conflicts of interest, ethical violations—including the Emoluments Clause—and Russia ties. If the House Judiciary Committee does not schedule the resolution for a Markup within 14 legislative days, it becomes a privileged resolution and can be brought to the floor in front of the full House for a vote.”
Press Release
Ain’t seen hide nor hair of DT this morning for his daily twitter fit. Yet. I’m sure he’ll show up, but I wonder if anyone’s dared to tell him? This is pretty big. I’m sure they’ll have to break it down and explain it in very simple terms, like “Your ass is grass, sir, but you did finally break a record” to soften the blow a bit. I don’t think this has happened this quick in any presidency.
