Should Congress Hold An Impeachment Inquiry Vote?

Zero Hedge: Trump Dares Pelosi To Hold Impeachment Inquiry Vote After She Says It Is "Not Required"

Is president Trump about to be impeached without the House even holding a vote authorizing the very impeachment inquiry to which he is subject? Well no - he won't be impeached as the Senate will promptly vote the entire political theater down - and that precisely why Pelosi, who until last month was vehemently against starting impeachment proceedings, refuses to hold a vote.

In a letter to Pelosi, House GOP Leader McCarthy today asked 10 questions including, among those: Do you intend to hold a vote of the full House authorizing your impeachment inquiry? Pelosi response: not at all.

Speaking this morning an interview, Pelosi dismissed the impeachment vote as "not required" and added "we haven’t, but we could." She said they could hold a vote "because it is a Republican talking point." For now, however, she is dismissing this as a political move - one in response to her own political move, of course - and pressing ahead with the investigation.

: A formal vote was held to begin an impeachment inquiry against Presidents Nixon and Clinton. So why not for President Trump? I think this is a good explanation why ....

.... holding a formal vote on impeachment would allow Republicans to subpoena documents and witnesses and investigate all the revelations surrounding the whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s interactions with Ukraine, as well the roles of Joe Biden and his son Hunter in Ukrainian corruption allegations.

A formal vote authorizing an impeachment inquiry will give both the Republicans and Democrats subpoena powers to call in witnesses and to demand documents. Does Nancy Pelosi want the Republicans calling in witnesses like former Vice-President Biden to explain Ukraine. Or even better still. Call in everyone that was involved in Russia-gate. I do not think so. Hence this inquiry is being held mostly behind "closed doors", there is a rush to complete it, and letters (not subpoenas) is what is being sent out.

Has ANYONE noticed the continued collapse of the Democrat party, while at the same time China collapses?

So weird. Coincidences all around.

CNN's biggest Ad intake, coincidentally, also came from China, WHILE they were attacking your president 24/7 and called him fascist, hitler, nazi, and his voters brownshirts on TENS OF THOUSANDS(!) of documented occasions and dividing your country.

Are only people outside the US capable of seeing the coincidences inside the US? ;)

Just think, guys. It's not that hard. White is white. Black is black. And CNN is filled with Democrat and Chinese operatives. Also pushing the Russia hoax stemmed from there. CNN/China/Democrats :P Just saying who benefited the most from all this. DJT even hinted at it.. as he always does. And his very good spidey sense to detect and predict frauds/corruption etc.. well that is Vlad helping for real actually, but to fight back. As Putin and Trump agreed in their meeting when no one was taking notes.

I know, I know.. but check the income CNN made from China. Then talk again

Be patient, the transformation of the US from an Oligarchy to Authoritative kleptocracy is well on its way.

What I like about Bob is that his transformation from know-nothing idjit to flaming asshole is complete.

I don't have a political opponent in Canada or the USA. The fact is I don't a rat's ass who gets in power in the US as it is just fun to take the opposite side given both are basically the same, working for the wealthy to the disadvantage of the plebs, like you who don't or simply refuse to realize it.

Trump got in and has accelerated the downward spiral in America's future. It is interesting to see how easily the great democratic experiment failed even in spite of the principles outlined in that famous yet undermined historical document, the Constitution.

By the way I know he was laughing at me. It is just really interesting to see you take the bait. It is like teasing my grand kids only they are less gullible.

Sorry I can't keep up the exchange with you today. My girlfriend is coming over and we are off to the Casino for the rest of the weekend. Have fun little one.

Of course you have political opponents. You have policies you believe that would work. Son of Err you might be, but you still have a belief. But like Waldorf and Statler, you can only bitch because you are but a pale imitation of a real man.

At my time in life I don't give a shit who gets in, or, what they do as long as they do not attempt to merge with any country, but, in particular not the about to go to the wall USA.

With a very basic education and no wealthy family to set me up I have achieved everything I wanted to in my life. I have children, grandchildren and a great one on the way.

I have been retired now for a third of my life, own my home and have enough put away to enjoy trips to the Casino without concern. I didn't gamble much on the last trip, I was more interested in feeding $20 bills to my girl friend and watching her enjoy herself.

So stop reaching for something that you think will insult me. You won't find it, son, and you only show how immature you are and how your lack of basic intelligence, courtesy and respect, let alone demonstrated inane understanding and ravings about your own country, (if you are American that is) gives your true self away to the WNU environment, as minute as it may be.

because Children and Grandchildren

Yeah, that makes sense.

I have been retired now for a third of my life, I don't care if The Bavarian Coproral gets elected.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Being a step up from living on a fixed income and playing bingo at the senior citizens center is not much of an achievement.
