House Democrats plan to probe every aspect of President Trump’s life and work, from family business dealings to the Space Force to his tax returns to possible "leverage" by Russia, top Democrats tell us.
What they're saying: One senior Democratic source said the new majority, which takes power in January, is preparing a "subpoena cannon," like an arena T-shirt cannon.
Show less Based on our reporting and other public sources, Axios' Zach Basu has assembled a list of at least 85 potential Trump-related investigation and subpoena targets for the new majority. (See the list.) Incoming House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told “Axios on HBO” that he expects Trump to resist the committees' requests, demands and subpoenas — likely pushing fights over documents and testimony as far as the Supreme Court.
Why it matters: The fight will test the power of the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court. Top Democrats, who had largely avoided the subject during the campaign, now tell us they plan to almost immediately begin exploring possible grounds for impeachment. A public report by Robert Mueller would ignite the kindling.
Tom Steyer, the liberal activist who spent more than $100 million during the campaign to build support for impeachment, said establishment leaders who are trying to postpone talk of impeachment are "the outliers": "80 percent of registered Democrats think ... we're right." Two of the most powerful incoming chairs tell "Axios on HBO" that they are plotting action far beyond Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
1) Schiff, the top Democrat on the intelligence committee, told us he wants to help special counsel Robert Mueller, and plans to release — with some redactions of classified material — transcripts of dozens of interviews the committee conducted during its own Russia probe.

Quote: “ you can keep your snark. . . “
My snark sir is borne of the fact that the GOP keeps bringing a rubber chicken to a tank battle.
You said that like you thought it mattered, it doesn't. What matters is that the people and their culture who created that are dead. Rush had a nice comment the top of 2nd hour. We have been replaced and soon will be a minority in the country we created and it is clear as day wha has happened. All the noise about the Caravan is just noise, that many people cross the border every month and they bare children who are going to vote democratic, while we abort our children.
Thirty years ago California was solid Republican, after Simson-Mizzoli it only took 30 years to loose a state, Texas will go next and apparently Arizona has already fallen, all due to open borders policy and Anchor babies.
They had nothing to run on in this election either and yet they won, explain that?
Since 1976, I’ve been watching the rumblings of Civil War. Some years are quieter than others. However the build-up of anger, sometimes justified, sometimes not, has been increasing.
I first noticed it in the movies Hollywood was putting out. Pure emotion, un-directed and violent seemed to be the norm for awhile. Then came hate-music otherwise known as RAP, denigrating to women and others. But once again designed it seems to encourage violent emotions.
So what do I see today? Over half of the population of the United States, rarely uses rational thought in their daily lives. It’s Emotions, and habits that get them by.
So yes, I see Civil War coming. It’s being fanned by the various media that sees HUGE profits in the Chaos, both of advertising and power. And then their are those who just see power over their ‘constituents’. Nobles by any other name who sees everyone else as lessor people and serfs.
By the way, to anybody who is interested. research the difference between slaves and serfs and how they were treated. Slaves actually got treated better, (imagine that), than European Serfs. Slaves were worth ‘real’ money. Serfs on the other hand were tied by law to the land of the nobility and were truly beneath notice.
They could face the same fate in the house, if they push impeachment too far.
With voter fraud working for them so far, they may not think it will hurt them in 2020.
I'm just saying it is a possibility.
Yes, and another example how the Democrats fight politics as war while the GOP is still looking for how to make the Rats and media to like them.
Democrat voters are pro socialists parasites at best they are suckers for a smooth line the hack give brain washing works for the DNC.
And the democrat voter always lose their ass and keep voting for them high IQ is in very short supply for that lot.
They to slow witted to understand nothing is free someone else always has to pay.
