Rep. Jerry Nadler, et al., will continue seeking truth —not moving on as White House wants it to do— during this current “recess”. One element of obstruction can result in jail time Mueller told the Judiciary Cmte. and that all three elements had been uncovered. The Obstructive Act, the Nexus between the Act and an Official Proceeding, and the Corrupt Intent are the three elements to which Mueller and the Judiciary Cmte. referred.
Judiciary Committee is chasing down that secret grand jury testimony that Mueller used to compile his report. They are petitioning Beryl Howell, chief United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Thus Nadler keeps his promise made Wednesday to petition court as the start of a new wave of legal action to force more of Mueller's evidence into Congress's hands. Nadler told a CNN interview that he's planning on Monday or Tuesday to file that potential lawsuit.
