In this case he shows us how Trump's lackey, Devin Nunes, can no longer keep the House Judiciary Committee from doing what an honest inquiry should have already done:

Swalwell:

“That June 9th meeting almost tells us everything about the intent of the Trump team during the campaign. Within days, they set up that meeting — they moved heaven and earth to make it happen — that showed how willing and eager they were to receive the information.

“But there is a call after Donald Trump Jr. talks to someone in Moscow — and in between another call with someone in Moscow — he talks to a blocked number. That’s how it shows up on the Verizon call receipt we have.”

“We’re seeking to unseal that call — to subpoena Verizon — to see if that goes to his father, because we have other evidence from other witnesses that Donald Trump, the candidate, that his phone number was often blocked.

“And that would go to Donald Trump’s knowledge.”

Swallwell has a very punchable face.

Why would the house duplicate an investigation already being done by Mueller?

It’s getting tiring to continue to have to defend conflated, misinformation used to attack the right. There is nothing there outside of twisted information used to continue this lost cause that Trump worked with the Russians to win the election. You should be embarrassed to continue to keep up this front.

I’ve always thought that Trump definitely knew about that meeting and was hoping to actually get something good out of it on HRC.

But the whole thing ended up a giant nothingburger.

Rex, what is the end game here? What is it that you want to see happen? Trump indicted and removed from office? Pence takes over and the base is energized over what they would deem a POTUS wrongly removed from office.

So what do you think was discussed in the phone call?

I still haven’t seen what was illegal about the meeting.

If he colluded with Russia to affect our election - yes

If he engaged in massive money laundering to fund and operate his businesses - yes

If he cheated on his income taxes - yes

WRONGLY removed? No, they wouldn't deem it as legally wrong, they would just be pissed off that their man got caught. Energized? Let them.... they'll be outnunbered.

You want this so bad. It has to eat you alive that there’s still no facts to prove it. Just things you speculate on.

What Jr. learned from the Russians, and how to run with that information. Jr's immediate call back to Moscow indicates that he got daddy's instructions.

Let’s assume you are correct. Isn’t this already being investigated by Mueller?

I would hope so. But the beauty of House oversight is that Schiff and Swalwell and company can also report to the public.
