The last 4 or 5 days have been like a roller coaster.

This morning, it feels like we can finally get off and catch our breath.

From Tuesday, when Nancy announced that she was going to begin a formal impeachment inquiry, to Wednesday, when Trump released a partial transcript of his conversation with the Ukraine president, to the whistleblower complaint on Thursday, and the subpoenas for the Secretary of State on Friday.

Wow! How quickly everything changed!

The Republicans are on the defensive and the White House is in a reported "panic".

Can someone put all of this into perspective?

They're all over the media today and will be all weekend.

There's still much that remains unknown, and much that might be uncovered still.

There is always a connection to every story that is covered by one of them. I don't know enough about either to cite an example but I just know that it they are basic stories and every story is basic.

I checked out from the news last night. Friday night family night. And woke up to see that the s storm brewed all night long.

At the moment is their is no impeachment inquiry, Nancy saying so does not make it true.

The house has to hold an official vote on an impeachment inquiry and establish an impeachment committee. If they don't then they have no subpoena power for anything impeachment related.

They sent a subpoena to Mike Pompeo and said if he did not comply he would be obstructing the impeachment investigation. Pompeo can throw it in the trash because as of right now they have no subpoena power.

They need to schedule the damn impeachment vote and get to work taking Trump down, impeach him and then hand it over to the Senate for the trial.
