(5,995 posts)My view is that the House leadership are playing a timing game. Following due process to bring witnesses and documents before the committees is appropriate. They are winning the expedited court rulings and any delays in the process are because Trump is stalling.
In a few weeks, after more court wins to enforce subpoenas, the scope of obstruction will justify going to an impeachment inquiry that should override most of the obstructive behavior and allow the release of Grand Jury evidence w/o Barr's involvement.
Expect to see full on televised hearings by this Fall and the issuance of Articles of Impeachment by the Spring. We all know McConnell will blather on about a coup and election year, but will delay a Senate trial until after the election.
All GOP Senator candidates up for election will have to answer about their position on impeachment. They will be tied directly to Trump's maladministration with nothing to show their voters from this do nothing Senate.
What better way to bring out our voters to support their Dem Representatives and Presidential ticket while ousting any GOP lackeys?
