Come on. Trump is not going to cooperate no matter what. If you think a vote would cause him to turn over his incriminating documents, I have a bridge to sell you.

Yeah, he won't.

Also, a guilty person ALWAYS tries to make it about the PROCESS instead of the guilty party's underlying actions.

The whole time we are discussing the process, we are not discussion Trump's illegal invitation for a foreign government to interfere in our 2020 election.

A vote would force him to cooperate, if he didn't then democrats would legitimately have their first impeachable offense.

This crook is not going to cooperate no matter what. The Dems already have a number of impeachable offenses.

But, overall, I'm all for voting and THEN see what excuses Trump comes up with to continue covering up his illegal actions.

not only that but there are 31 districts that are held by democrats that trump won in 2016, and if the democrats have to vote to open an impeachment inquiry, all those seats will be up for grabs in 2020, and most of them will be lost.


remember that the republicans only need 19 seats to regain the majority in the house.

Pelosi isn't sure she had enough votes to start an 'impeachment' inquiry' if the D's had to go on the record with a recorded vote.

Because they don't have to. Besides, even if they did, Trump still wouldn't cooperate. They'll get what they need. They are within their constitutional right to do exactly what they're doing, despite Trump's temper tantrums that they are acting unconstitutionally. He knows better.

Plus Dems in swing districts who vote with Squad clowns would need new jobs.

Yeah, that's it. Not enough evidence. LOL. That's why Trump is soiling his pants every day trying to deflect, deny, lambast, denounce, decry . . . Pelosi and Schiff are onto him. Hopefully, they'll just stay the course. They have the Constitution behind them.
