I limited myself to working with two congressional candidates this year (and two state elections). Perhaps it is more accurate to say that my limitations resulted in my limited ability to work with as many as I would have liked to. Both of the candidates I supported were pro-impeachment, and both won.

Where I disagreed with both was on Ms. Pelosi. Both said they would not support her for Speaker of the House. I appreciated that they were campaigning as agents of change, and was willing to listen with an open mind to any solid position on why she should be replaced, but I never heard one. Thus, I believed that her experience in winning the federal court struggle to force the release of documents that Bush-Cheney were refusing to provide Congress was in and of itself essential for the potential Democratic House.

And here we are! I believe that Ari has focused on the significance of this on MSNBC. I haven't heard anyone else in the media speak about this, though perhaps others have. Ari reported that Nancy is already putting together the legal team the Democrats will need, when Trump refuses to provide requested documents.
