Its a battle: Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff trying to use various congressional powers to investigate the corruption of Trump. Trump using every power at his disposal to block the investigations, including a takeover of DOJ and IRS to serve him and not the USA.
At times it has seemed like Trump had the upper hand. Using Barr to block the release of the Mueller report and testimony by Mueller.
But lately I felt a little wind in our direction. The story about Deutsche Bank not filing SAR. The release of Cohen testimony. The decision by the federal judge that Mazars must release the financial documents. Justin Amash favoring impeachment.
You never know how these things will play out. Tomorrow Trump could declare martial law or invade Iran or whatever his plan is to weasel out of these investigations.
But today I did have the feeling that inch by inch, the barriers that Trump is trying to erect are falling. And furthermore, a lot of what Trump is trying to do is construct an image of invulnerability, and as that image fails, his powers will weaken.
Maybe the Dems will win this after all.
