The judiciary expect to vote within 2 weeks to recomend to the whole house that it authorize a formal impeachment inquiry.

Not necessarily at all close to finality in the House.

However, I think the Demos. have got a real winner on their hands to pressure the Repubs. in the House to move fast, very fast.

Starr has done the evidence gathering bit for the prosecution. Who are the opponents of the President to say that more time should be spent gathering exculpatory evidence, or cross examining, in the House Judiciary? Delay by the Repubs. in the House, whose duty is that of a Grand Jury, to see if the there is enough bad evidence to send on, when the Clinton supporters say move, and Starr is done, doesn't wash.

It's a non-starter. All they could claim today is confusion, due to earlier calls for them to wait to release to the public at least until the Pres. had had a chance to review and thus make a simultaneous case to the public. That fig leaf dissolves fast. The Repubs. have no defense to the Demo demands for getting on with it. None.

That has traction.

(And since the House is nothing but a spectacle in all this, why shouldn't the Demos want it moved to the Senate?)
