While Congress is on a two-week recess, members of the committee will return to the U.S. Capitol this week to carry out an investigation that is likely to produce new subpoenas for documents and other material.
The committee is scheduled to hold a closed-door hearing on Friday with the intelligence community’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson, who concluded that the whistleblower complaint was of urgent concern and appeared credible.
House investigators are set to take the first witness testimony from two people mentioned in the whistleblower’s complaint.
On Wednesday, three House committees - Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight - are due to get a deposition from former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who Trump labeled “bad news†during his call with Zelenskiy.

This tweet is itself an independent basis for impeachment - a sitting president threatening civil war if Congress exercises its constitutionally authorized power. https://t.co/JL9XzClGXf

To reiterate what I said on @Morning_Joe, the Trump narrative about the Biden's is verifiably false.

The real question is whether those retiring nat sec Republicans will vote for articles of impeachment. https://t.co/k5wMOYSrBC
The Senate would have to take up impeachment of President Donald Trump if the House effectively votes to charge the president, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday.
“I would have no choice but to take it up,†the Kentucky Republican told CNBC. “How long you are on it is a different matter, but I would have no choice but to take it up based on a Senate rule on impeachment.â€

New York Rep. Chris Collins is expected to plead guilty Tuesday to federal charges in an insider trading case in which he was originally charged in August 2018, according to court documents filed Monday and a person familiar with the matter.

Here's Mitch McConnell on CNBC saying that if the House passes articles of impeachment, "under the Senate rules we're required to take it up ... I would have no choice but to take it up. How long we're on it is a whole different matter." pic.twitter.com/lTVQHZrGxS

McConnell added that it would require 67 votes to change Senate rules to prevent a trial from taking place - so the rule change won’t happen. But he can move to dismiss after the trial begins. “How long I’m on it is another matter,†he said of a trial

Well, looks like I might need to dust-off my Bush Era plan where I could be out of the country in 6 hours at an unguarded border crossing.
But I also now know of a deserted scout camp in NH and I have the resources there to survive for quite some time.

It's very complex.
T.L. Storer Scout Reservation was deeded in perpetuity to the Boston Council, a gift of Theodore Storer of Waltham, a longtime local scouter and direct descendant of Robert Treat Paine (Signer of the Declaration of Independence).
Formerly Three camps under one umbrella (Parker Mountain, Wild Goose, and Adams Pond), over the last 20 years or so the camp has been neglected, understaffed, poorly-resourced and turned into a backwater. A recent council merger got us a much newer and better-equipped camp nearby (called Wah-Tut-Ca) that has become the darling of the Council Leadership.
Every year for the last 5, camp has been reduced by a week, and all resources and effort have been shifted to a local day camp, and the new summer camp. With just 3 weeks of "season", they can't hire adequate staff nor supply the camp with any kind of real support or program. (It takes longer to set up, train, and break down camp than the actual season.)
Officially, "Financial Reasons", and camp has been shuttered for two years until they re-assess what can happen. This is so they have time to have the lawyers pick apart the original deed of gift and figure out how they can legally sell the property.
This happened about 3 years ago with another property that had been deeded to Scouts in perpetuity, a camp called "Massasoit" down in Plymouth, MA that no longer exists.
This council has a track record of destroying scout camps. All three camps that I attended as both a youth and adult Scouter now no longer exist. I can look around and see neighboring councils with big, beautiful, modern camps - fully staffed, complete 6-week summer seasons, and in two cases a waiting list for troops to attend.
This council sucks.
