Short article from Axios:
House Judiciary to hold hearing on potential Trump emoluments violations
The House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday scheduled a hearing for Sept. 23 titled, "Presidential Corruption: Emoluments and Profiting off the Presidency."
The big picture: The hearing is part of the committee's efforts to broaden its impeachment investigation of President Trump to include allegations of corruption that extend beyond the contents of the Mueller report. Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) announced in August that the committee would specifically investigate Trump's proposal to host the 2020 G7 summit at the Trump National Doral resort in Miami, arguing that the president's "personal financial interests are clearly shaping decisions about official U.S. government activities."

(16,616 posts)4. One thing I really appreciate about this particular hearing is it
shows them stepping beyond the four corners of the Mueller Report, which has been my hope all along. We haven't yet gotten to Abuse of Power or Money Laundering, two areas that could be very fertile.

Up to now theyve let witnesses skip hearings, lie, and refuse to answer questions. With no consequences.
This is the key. Will Dems use inherent contempt?

At least not yet. As of right now let them continue to obstruct congress. I believe that was Article III Nixons impeachment. Let them continue to not show up claiming executive privilege tying it back to the president.

Keep Trump and GOP on their heels. The House is dancing all around these jokers.
