It can be quick, as long as hearings are held and evidence is gathered. IMO, they can't just do a quick rush to judgement. Frankly, I think it would be better to let this drip out over the course of a year and never take a vote on it, but at the same time, a wounded Trump poses an actual risk to the country and world.

House Intel members have been told to be prepared to return during recess as Democrats try to wrap up the impeachment inquiry this fall.

Wonder if this will have any impact on public sentiment: 300 former national security and foreign affairs officials (from administrations of Obama, GW and HWBush), supportive of impeachment inquiry:

Giuliani, Barr likely to be called to testify in impeachment inquiry, House intel Dem says

Attorney General William Barr and the President's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani are likely to be called to testify in the House Intelligence Committee's impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump and Ukraine, according to a House Democrat who sits on the committee.

Rep. Mike Quigley told CNN's Jim Sciutto on Friday that he has "several questions" for Giuliani including whether the President's personal lawyer has a security clearance.

"Rudy may be the best source of information, because he doesn't know what he shouldn't say," Quigley said, adding that he thinks Barr is "part of that list" of officials the committee will call to testify.

Asked if the committee would enforce subpoenas or hold the two men in contempt should the White House attempt to block their testimony, Quigley said, "I think the committee will take whatever actions are necessary."

They will simply stonewall/claim privilege. They will say nothing. NOTHING.

He could be disbarred. Even the worst of criminals enjoy attorney-client privilege.

What client? He doesn't have a client or clearance or an employer or anything.

I take it you’ve never heard of the crime fraud exception to attorney client privilege. And Rudy has been all over the TV this week saying he did it on his own and not at the behest of Trump, or for the state department, etc.

If the White House stonewalls, “It will strengthen the case on obstruction,” Schiff said today.

Wow, TULSI even supports impeachment now.

NEW @TulsiGabbard stmt on impeachment says after she reviewed "...the whistleblower complaint, the IG memo, and President Trump's comments about the issue, unfortunately, I believe that if we do not proceed with the inquiry, it will set a very dangerous precedent."
