16. It's his usual MO to try to scare and sqaush people. Not going to work this time.

What an idiot. He thinks he can scare Pelosi and Schiff with the threat of a lawsuit. It's clear he uses the courts to sue anyone he can when he thinks he can drown them in paper and legal fees. That's the way he runs his businesses. He has a staff of attorneys who can bankrupt small businesses and people with legal fees.

That's just not going to work here. He's got no claim for damage. The House, pursuing its Constitutionally prescribed duty can in no way be acting in an unconstitutional manner. It's also not something in which the Judicial branch can intervene to stop the process.
