Congress has left town for Thanksgiving recess but developments in the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry about President Trump are expected to continue this week, both in court and on Capitol Hill.

A federal judge has said she will rule by the end of the day on whether former White House counsel Donald McGahn must testify before Congress. House investigators could release transcripts of two more witnesses deposed behind closed doors. And the House Intelligence Committee is pulling together a report on what was gleaned from public testimony to send to the Judiciary Committee ahead of the drafting of articles of impeachment.

She agreed to an early decision, so presumably she isn't in the drag it out as long as possible crowd, though that has little bearing on how she will rule on the merits.

6. I read something last week that indicated..

if the Court rules that he must comply with the congressional subpoena chances are that there will not be an appeal. Can't remember where I read it. Has something to do with that it really is cut and dry. Anyway....

I came over to DU today to find out if there has been a ruling on this case.
