Jul 2019

Tomorrow the Michael Cohen search warrants and other government filings are going to be released to the public. Barr tried to get some redactions, but the judge said no and he will release all documents unredacted. There will be a lot of new information out there showing how Individual 1 was involved in paying hush money while holding the office of president.

Next week Mueller will testify. That will be wall-to-wall coverage not even the Trumpers can avoid seeing.

After those two events, I believe Dems will overwhelmingly support opening an impeachment inquiry as the best way to get all the information out in public. Dems don't even have to vote on impeachment, but they do need to have attention focused on one committee, the Judiciary, not divided among 6 or 7 different ones. Nadler can call members or staff from those committees as expert witnesses if needed.
