(7,142 posts)that because Nadler is out of the blue calling his committee an impeachment inquiry, without taking any votes, that Nadler has changed his committee from a legislative committee to a judicial committee by simply changing its name. I don't see it. Nadler was free to request the grand jury information 4 months ago but he didn't because his committee is a legislative committee and doesn't carry as much weight with the court. Now, 4 months later Nadler is going to the court and asking for the grand jury information with the added caveat that his legislative committee may evolve into an impeachment committee. What am I missing? There was no vote in the House to open up an impeachment hearing. Nadler is hoping that by calling his committee an impeachment inquiry that maybe that will sway the court to release the grand jury information. Good for Nadler and Dems, maybe it will work but let's not kid ourselves Dems are not holding impeachment hearings.
