before I officially jumped into the fray. I watched with interest the debate here whether there was a difference between a regular committee hearing, which is legislative in nature, and an impeachment inquiry, which is considered judicial in nature. This clears up the debate, IMO, there is a big difference between a legislative hearing and a judicial hearing. The thing is what I think or what anyone else here at DU thinks is not relevant, it's what do the judges think. The judges must be convinced that Dems are pursuing an impeachment inquiry and that should open up the flood gates for Dems to get the entire unredacted Mueller report, the grand jury testimonies, and expedited court decisions regarding subpoenas.

We need to keep the narrative on impeachment and not on the smoke screens that Trump and Barr are pushing in the MSM.

Speaker Pelosi may well be the brightest Speaker we have had in our history, I trust in her. She needs to keep the pedal to the metal, impeachment needs to go quickly, we start voting in February.

Outstanding! Thank you. n/t Judi Lynn Oct 2019 #1
