Investigative staffing and resources to that effort. it would take it away from the house judiciary committee headed by jerry nadler, so he may not be happy about that. some of the sources i have spoken with said let s see how this plays out at 4 p.m. this afternoon before we say conclusively 100% what s going to happen. a select committee process could take months, could lead to a massive report, as you ve seen many times here in washington. then based on what they find, could eventually head to an impeachment process on the house floor. it also could buy some time for leadership, who want to have their ducks in a row. dana: interesting to think about the timing of that. it s like a word problem. i wasn t very good at these. if the train is leaving at this time and it takes them this long to do the inquiry. they could end up next april or may right in the middle of the presidential election try to do this? reporter: absolutely. if you re talking ab
We were in the most jerry mandered political arena you could imagine and yet we won 40 seats in the house of representatives. but that plan didn t work for them. we had a message where we had our see, our caucus is beautifully diverse. we re as diverse as it comes in gender identity, geography, ethnicity, you name it. dana: we have been listening to speaker nancy pelosi. she is at the atlantic festival in washington, d.c. she was in front of a very friendly crowd, i would say, as she was asked questions several times about the possibility of impeachment inquiry being instigated. joe biden is expected to address this very issue and will be taking questions from the press. we ll bring that to you as soon
