The House will vote on a resolution Thursday that will formalize procedures for the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed on Monday.

Why it matters: Trump and his allies have argued that the current impeachment inquiry is unconstitutional because it hasn't been voted on by the full House — a claim that Pelosi and Democratic leaders have called baseless. However, in a letter to House Democrats Monday, Pelosi wrote that members will vote in order to "eliminate any doubt as to whether the Trump Administration may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony, disregard duly authorized subpoenas, or continue obstructing the House of Representatives."

Well a big waste of time and helping assure Trump his reelection. It is a nice touch though as we witness the demise of the former Democratic party of the KKK into the Socialist party.

You know, I really don't think they should do this. Not because I don't think there should be impeachment inquiry going ahead, but because this seems to give legitimacy to those who say there is something wrong with how the inquiry has started, is being handled, etc. There is no requirement for there to be a full House vote, so why play into the hands of the Republicans who say there has to be? There is no way to win this! The better way in my opinion is to just stay the course.

I don't know the laws here, but do you really want to hear these grown men whine and moan about this? Let them vote and then they can complain about something new.

They're going to whine and moan anyway whether they have a vote or not! Any new complaints will just be added to the old pile which only gets bigger.

The impeachment stuff is a race against the releases of the IG and DOJ reports.

How long have you been here?  The Dems and GOP will whine about anything, and it is not just the men that do it.  It is called politics.  As to the vote, this is what is supposed to happen as the Reps should be on the record.

I agree, the Dems in this case really seem to be doing a major CYA play to protect the bureaucratic state, and trying their best to delegitimize anything coming from Barr/Durham.

What crimes do you think Trump.is guilty of that calls for impeachment?

 

Didn't we just go through 2 years of intense scrutiny of the president via the Mueller investigation?  Which resulted in a nothing burger without so much as a condiment?
