Clearly theres continuing investigation not only on the mueller report but on a variety of other things. you continue to see a number of subpoenas for witnesses to testify for documents to be handed over. but nancy pelosi in her news conference made it clear, she doesnt want to proceed to a formal impeachment or even hearings to lead to that unless they have a stronger case than they have now. you dont even have half, even with 100 democrats, you dont have half of the democrats and certainly not...

Impeachment which is a step before the actual impeachment resolution would undoubtedly come to the floor n. that process this is a very, very important moment in the process. >> do you want hearings to begin on impeachment? >> no. an inquiry that would then provide the information that could lead to the resolution of impeachment. >> so youre stopping short of formal committee hearings at this point. you just want an investigation on the part of the house judiciary committee. >> that is in prepar...
