this couldn t be worse for the president to have the stakes of the conflict that he has with the gop over turkey/syria issues happen in the midst of this itch peoplement. it can make the gop lose the patience across the board. if they vote on sanctions, that s a signal they need to let some of the presentation out. great story. i have my eye on the calendar for the other event. impeachment and how problematic it s becoming and complicated for both democrats and republicans, actually. there was talk about having an impeachment vote in the house before christmas. i think that s still a hope among house democratic leaders. but theimpeachment is not over. we have the a witness depositived at the end of last week. david holmes may be called for a public session. we have eight witnesses coming up this week. one of whom gordon sondland may have to slip given the information they re hearing. the idea a vote before christmas
a more modest way if they have complete control of congress, too. they re not going to do gun control as their number one issue if they are elected in 2020. we didn t hear them talking too much about it until friday s tragedy. i want to pivot to the other political topic today, a big political topic, itch peoplement. senator blumenthal. our common goal is holding the president accountable. we should begin hearings right away. call them whatever you d like, an impeachment inquiry, oversight inquiry. most americans will never read that 450 page report. they re not going to read the book. they need to see the movie. robert mueller is that movie. would the democrats calling specifically for an impeachment inquiry be satisfied with that argument of oversight inquiry? it s difficult toll say at this point, but nancy pelosi is
