Headline on banner right now on MSNBC. Katy Tur interviewing Nadler (D-NY) - resolution of inquiry relating to intelligence about emoluments clause, business interests & violations of 18 different laws.

Must be taken up by committee in 14 days.

1. thanks. sorry I missed it.

[DFW]

2. Gerry is one of the smartest guys in the House

Also one of their sharpest legal minds. He wouldn't touch this without a reason.

[mopinko]

3. without a boatload of ammunition.

sounds like he's loaded for bear, and he is a very good shot.

this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

[Ccarmona]

4. Maxine Waters

Has also said that Impeachment is not out of question.

5. YES! Way to go Nadler

7. Can the tax records be subpoenaed?

[greymattermom]

8. Wouldn't tax records be needed to address

the emoluments clause? Seems reasonable to me.

9. IF HE SHOOTS AND MISSES it could well backfire badly.

We need a lot of ammo, i.e., tons of certifiable, bullet-proof evidence to proceed. To shoot and miss will be fatal to our cause.

10. The resolution of inquiry is the means to collect evidence

It si not so much alleging wrong doing, it is alleging there is enough indication to collect evidence of wrong doing.

If the Republicans will not allow this investigation, then they are in collusion with Trump and his cohorts.

11. Well I guess this is just to get them on record

cause I'd be surprised if those Republican assholes in the House did anything.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Wow.

I don't expect this to go anywhere, but at least someone is trying. It's not like it's partisan...there is real concern here.

[KittyWampus]

13. Need to see those taxes.

[sellitman]

14. Rethugs will do anything to block this.

They will protect Trump until the views cows home.

I'm not getting my hopes up.
