Wait did I just hear Nadler

[LEW]

say that they are sending warrants for certain people, but not that it was not going to happen tomorrow. Wait.....they have had two weeks to get this together and now it is not happening tomorrow....

1. I haven't heard the interview but these things take time

Tomorrow is the authorization to do a subpoena, not the issuance of one. Although then Nadler can issue it when he wants.

The way these things work is step by step as you put pressure on the other side.

The US Attorneys firing case took 3+ years and the Fast and Furious case started 8 years ago and is still going!

The primary goal here is embarrassment of the executive branch to put political pressure on them. Because in the end it is very difficult for the Congress to enforce a subpoena, and almost impossible to do it quickly.

The House could imprison someone, but Congress hasn't done that since 1935. I'd love to see them do it though.

2. thank you for your wisdom

and straight forward answer! I keep trying to let these things roll off my back, but truly after two and a half years of this malarkey my back hurts!

5. I don't think you CAN embarrass this executive branch.

More's the pity.

3. Are we still going after Trump's taxes? I haven't heard anything in awhile.

6. I think Ms Waters is going after Trump Co finances...

She already has staffers going to DeutcheBank to get records for Trump finances.

7. I've heard that but I was referring to his actual taxes. I thought that was one of the first

things Dems were going to do when they took back the house.

8. They might want to establish 'probable cause' before going there...

If they find suspicious activity from his bank records, it makes the requrest/subpoena stronger.

4. Wapo has an article up about indecisiveness re: subpoenas.

Behind the pay wall so don't know much more.
