-- I think she said they would vote Wednesday. --

A Guide to the Rules, Precedents and Procedures of the House - Chapter 27. Impeachment

Sec. 6 . In General; Initiation and Referral of Charges

Generally

Under the modern practice, an impeachment is normally instituted by the House by the adoption of a resolution calling for a committee investigation of charges against the officer in question. In the 93d Congress, Vice President Agnew used a letter to the Speaker to attempt to initiate an investigation by the House of charges against him of possible impeachable offenses, but the House took no action on the request.

Look at the language of the resolution. Dismiss as smoke'n'mirrors what words the various liars in Congress utter.

Looks like the inquiry requires “charges” to start with...not a hunt for charges.
