Playbook: “House Democratic leadership is considering creating a specIal committee to investigate Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian president about Joe Biden.”
“Details have not yet been worked out, and the plan is not yet finalized, but this would be a way to give special import to the probe and remove it from day-to-day committee jurisdiction. It would carry a tight deadline — as to not stretch out this process, and to signal that this isn’t an endless investigation. Some Democrats are already pointing to historic precedent: the Watergate special committee.”
“Pelosi gets to hand-select who is on this committee — ahem, Jerry Nadler — and can exert lots of control over its comings and goings. It could help the leadership continue to methodically build the case for impeachment.”
