All previous impeachment investigations began with a vote by the whole House.
To be fair, this is not an impeachment investigation, it is an ordinary congressional inquiry, which the Democrats have decided to label as supposedly related to impeachment for promotional purposes.
But so far, it has just been a nakedly partisan political effort to bring down their chief political adversary. And not one thing more.
United States Constitution, Article I, Section 2: "The House of Representatives shall [choose] their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment." The House decides how it conducts impeachment proceedings, meaning the Speaker of the House and chairmen of the committees charged with the duties of creating the Articles of Impeachment.
Stawman arguments. McConnell holding up the Garland nomination had little to do with process and everything to do with yet another Democratic "rule" coming back to haunt them when McConnell chose to use ironically the "Biden rule" of not holding a SCOTUS nomination during an election year. Not following process would be going through with a nomination hearing and pulling the same bull#### Democrats did with both Clarence Thomas and then Brett Kavanaugh.
Collins was calling out Nadler and his constant rules changes for the farcical clownshow it was. No disruptions. Lewandowski voluntarily showed up to testify as he said he would yet Democrats still insisted on issuing a subpoena anyway to make it appear he was unwilling to show up.
As for Trump "asking Ukraine and China for help on the Biden's", he didn't use those exact words and even if he did that's not asking for foreign interference in the 2020 election. In the case of Ukraine, he, Barr, Guliani, etc are having to take the unprecedented step of getting directly involved because Obama holdovers in the DOJ and State Dept have refused to accept potential violations of U.S. law involving Ukraine/DNC collusion in the 2016 election. Ukraine has been trying to pass the evidence they have on the DOJ for over a year now but the DOJ has stonewalled them the whole time. So much for investigating foreign interference in the 2016 election.
What trump did is perfectly legal and he absolutely should have requested the investigation be resurrected. Joe Biden enriches his son by leveraging his political position to get money from Ukraine and China. Then he threatened to withhold 1 billion in aide the Ukraine didn’t fire the prosecutor investigating his son.
The crazy mentally ill liberals will continue to ramp up the attacks due to the DOJ investigations and Ukraine.
It will not work, in the end Joe Biden will be run over by the liberal bus and a lot of
Democrat scum will go to jail for trying to unseat a duly elected President.
10 and shrinking: The House Democrats defying Pelosi and resisting Trump impeachment.. Haha!
10 House Democrats from districts President Trump won in 2016 are doggedly resisting the majority of their caucus in refusing to support an impeachment inquiry.
The country is so polarized between the far right and far left that I honestly can't tell if the impeachment has (1) a legitimate basis or (2) just a political move meant to ostensibly seek justice but has more ulterior motives (whatever they may be).
I am moderately conservative and tend to vote more as a "centrist". Back in AZ, Sinema is considered a centrist and is now being castigated by her own party in the far left. She is actually a bisexual supporter of the LGBTQ movement. Go figure.
If the Democrats want to remove Trump, then just beat him fair-and-square in the next election. Going for an impeachment seems to indicate fear of losing the 2020 election. If Trump does get impeached (which he may not), then Pence would be the replacement? Does the far left really want that? The polarization is getting out-of-hand on the Hill.
Pelosi herself made the insane claim that impeaching Trump would be worth losing the House!
She and they have lost their minds.
It's a freakin exercise in futility, nothing more or less. They know damn well Trump did nothing illegal. They have connected two entirely different timelines and Shifty went on some fictional conversation from a Bogart movie that he made up in his tiny little brain.
If anyone has a projection like they did with the Mueller report, just KEEP DREAMING!
Bring it on! Impeach Impeach Impeach
Doing exactly the opposite of what they ran on to win back the House seems to be par for the course.
Landslide for Trump and the Pubs in 2020 and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it. Warren will be their candidate and he will crush her.
I doubt she will be the candidate but she would crush Trump in a debate. He only knows how to insult when he doesn't know how to answer a question.

Remember those 10 are resisting the impeachment inquiry. We don't know how they will vote if it comes to a vote. It is far, far better for a Democrat to back the inquiry that Nancy says she wants, than to vote in favor of the actual impeachment.
Who knows what the actual vote would be?..... The media leads us to believe that if you back the inquiry, then you will vote for impeachment. But that simply could not be the case. The Squad and their crowd will vote for impeachment no matter what, but there are plenty of other representatives who come from areas more sympathetic to Trump.
There may even be a few who will listen to the actual accusations and decide there is no case. Virtually no representative who opposed the inquiry will then vote in favor of the Articles of Impeachment.
