This Is Big!

U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, is going ahead with an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.

Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, confirmed that, despite what Nancy Pelosi says, his committee is looking into evidence and information regarding Trump's finances and his possible (likely?) ties with Russia to see if any articles of impeachment ought to be brought to the House floor.

"This is formal impeachment proceedings," Nadler told CNN.  "We are investigating all the evidence, we're gathering the evidence. And we will at the conclusion of this - hopefully by the end of the year - vote to vote articles of impeachment to the House floor. Or we won't. That’s a decision that we'll have to make. But that's exactly the process we're in right now."

And the House Judiciary Committee already has access to some of Trump's financial records, despite Trump's attempt to keep them under lock and key.  Further information could come from testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn, whom the House Judiciary Committee is aggressively pursuing for an appearance to answer questions.  Nadler has made it clear that his probe may not lead to a recommendation of impeachment, but with a majority of House Democrats favoring impeachment and with unforeseen information on Trump yet to come out, don't count on Trump getting off scot-free.  Something has to give.
