Nadler hasn't shown a lot of political muscle in the past. He's made quite a few assertions regarding past issues around Trump's malfeasance, but comes up short on follow-through.

Let's see how the DOJ responds to THIS demand from Nadler. If the DOJ responds with more prosecutions, all the better. It's the kind of surprise worth having.

We'll see if congress uses the teeth it has and make some it doesn't
