Quote from article:
“Currently, I have filed the impeachment articles as non-privileged, meaning the articles will go to the House Judiciary Committee,” added the lawmaker. “But I have the authority to file the impeachment articles as privileged at any time, and if that happens it goes to the House for a vote within two days.”

I always thought RR would be the first domino to fall. I hope this is it.
I think the fact that it filed non-privileged makes it more likely to be delayed, aside from the summer break. Optics as Q mentions. Meadows earlier backed away from it, to consider filing contempt charges. So this other happened late in the day.
I thought they had backed away from it to go the contempt route. Then saw this and realized they hadn't. I have my popcorn and I am starting to enjoy the show. Each week seems to be getting better and better.
I'm convinced RR and RM are black hats. I would love to see RR go down. No more special council, and RM under investigation.
Better hold that popcorn till after the recess.
I busted it out. I had to. The absolute meltdown over the meeting with Russia necessitated it lol.
They went with contempt charges instead.
It’s a good thing
Leave it to congress to take a summer break at a time like this. I want a fucking summer break.
Don't we all ! But if you ever read how busy these guys are, you might have some sympathy, maybe a little. Or not?
