CNN "Impeachment Inquiry: LOOKING BACK & LOOKING FORWARD"
Impeachment inquiry - CNN overviewIt has been a month since House Democrats launched their impeachment inquiry into President Trump's alleged dealings with Ukraine, and things just keep getting stranger. About two dozen House Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, barged into a closed-door deposition yesterday in secure House Intelligence Committee spaces. The group claims it was unhappy with the level of transparency of the impeachment process. The unusual uproar occurred just as members of three committees were about to interview Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary Laura Cooper, delaying that for about five hours. Cooper's testimony ended up bolstering the notion that delivery of aid to Ukraine deviated from the normal process. Others have said Trump demanded Ukraine launch an investigation to help him politically before US aid would be released.
Looking back, and looking forward, one month into the Trump impeachment probe

Nancy Pelosi announced the start of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump one month ago, on September 24. JUST one month ago. It's worth taking stock of how much has happened since — how many new pieces of the Ukraine puzzle, how many revelations about potential misconduct, how many desperate deflections by Trump and his allies.
The Atlantic's David A. Graham made this point on Wednesday: "As the past month demonstrates, a lot can change in a few short weeks. One month ago, it wasn't clear there'd even be an impeachment inquiry. Today, impeachment itself is a near-certainty." Most of the chatter now is about what will happen when the Senate holds a trial...
One month from now
"House Democrats are preparing to move their largely private impeachment inquiry onto a more public stage as soon as mid-November and are already grappling with how best to present the complex Ukraine saga to the American people," WaPo's Rachael Bade and Karoun Demirjian reported Wednesday night.
