The idea was, they can question more witnesses (to “get more evidence”) and send the subpoenas to be enforced by a court; if the court agrees and Pres. Trump refuses to cooperate, then they can argue they have legitimate grounds for Obstruction.
HOWEVER, the Dems are taking a real chance here ... courts might not agree, and either way, they’re bystanders while the appeals-process plays out, which could be months, well into Democrat voting season ...
PLUS, Notorious could suddenly pass, and with the Senate not tied up with impeachment, that could be a speedy confirmation process for the next SC ...
I think they may be waiting for the court challenges on witnesses and subpoenas. I for one really would like to hear what Bolton has to say. My son fought in Gulf War 1, and I have been following the Kurds ever since. Was very pleased to see how they set up a functioning government in the north of Iraq when all else were fumbling around. I am not happy that Trump ended up deserting the Kurds, allowing the release of a number of ISIS prisoners and their families, and ending up with Assad and the Russians gaining in the north of Syria. Not to mention the death of several hundred Kurdish fighters and dislocation of about 300,000 Kurdish and other people. I am still trying to figure out when Republicans changed from the party of Reagan to the party that winks at friendliness with Comrade Putin and his objectives. I suspect this was an important aspect of the falling out between Bolton and Trump.
I also need to do more research on the statement I heard today that the delay in moving the funding for Ukraine resulted in a $39,000,000 loss because a deadline for spending was passed. And that Ukraine troops died because of this.
