Mark my word impeachment hearings are coming - starting with the investigation.
That way they have enough teeth to get McGahn.
Justice is coming.

(51,627 posts)people who have not cooperated with subpoenas to the courts and that will get the show on the road so that after their Aug break they can return, have requested documents and witnesses ready to start impeachment in Sept when they return. All of the stonewalling by this admin and his witnesses will have to go to the courts (probably SCOTUS) and they will win.
