The vote was 255 to 67 with one lawmaker voting not present.

Civil Contempt has pretty much just passed as well.

So...

What happens now.

I suspect that the House will focus on getting action on the Civil count with the courts.

Asking the WH to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the AG is like asking the fox to investigate who raided the chicken coop.

I kind of look at handwriting experts like I do body language types. Nonetheless, interesting reading.

I give more credence to body language than handwriting, but that's just my opinion.

I dunno. I think there's a good amount of science in it. Case in point, when I married Mrs E., her aunt had been a handwriting analyst for some years - may have been for the FBI or other fed agency. She did not know me one whit - Mrs E and I had been married only briefly and the aunt and I had not met. She asked me to send a handwriting sample, which I did.

I was astounded as to how close she came in describing me.
