House Republicans on Wednesday voted to soon launch an investigation into Attorney General John Swallow, a step short of beginning formal impeachment proceedings.

Rep. Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville, made a motion in a GOP caucus meeting calling for the House to convene to form a committee to investigate Swallow. "This is not starting an impeachment process," but instead an effort to get answers, he said.

The New Yorker this week has published an exhaustive—and exhausting—accountof the Senate's attempts thus far to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The article, by Ryan Lizza, focuses on the "Gang of Eight," a bipartisan group of legislative negotiators whose non-negotiable criteria for membership was that participants had to favor "a comprehensive approach to immigration—all the major issues had to be settled in one bill—and they had to support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants."

Tuck away those groundrules for later

Numerous allegations have been made about Utah Attorney General John Swallow in recent weeks.  Public sentiment about the controversy has been largely absent from the discussion.  With Swallow mounting a more public defense in the last few days and legislators on the cusp of a meeting to discuss the charges and possibly move forward on impeachment, the Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy at BYU fielded a Utah Voter Poll that included a host of questions about the controversy.

GUEST ALERT: Quin Monson, of BYU, joins Rod at 5:35 p.m. to discuss this survey.
