Democrats like Reps. Adam Schiff of California, Jerrold Nadler of New York, Maxine Waters of California, and Elijah Cummings of Maryland have a stack of subpoena forms on their desks ready to be filled out – if they haven’t been filled out already. Trump, who has been able to count on his Republican poodles to block inquiries into his administration’s conduct, will become discombobulated trying to keep track of all the investigations.

Responsible Democrats, however, are unlikely to support or initiate impeachment proceedings against Trump as long as they don’t possess clear, substantiated, and compelling evidence that the president (or the president’s campaign advisers) colluded with the Russians during the 2016 campaign or attempted to obstruct justice. Democratic lawmakers have said as much in public -- even those who voted for articles of impeachment last year. All of a sudden, with Democrats claiming the House majority, they no longer seem interested in rushing a vote.

Senior Democrats like incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and incoming Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler get it.
