Pelosi: No House vote on impeachment inquiry [Developing]
The Hill ^ | October 15, 2019 | Scott Wong, Mike Lillis

Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to stand firm Tuesday, insisting she will not stage a vote on the House floor to officially launch an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

Trump and his Republican allies have been pressuring Pelosi to hold a formal vote to begin the investigation — a move they believe would grant them more power and influence in the process, including the ability to call and subpoena their own witnesses.

Last month, Pelosi formally launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump after months of resisting calls from her caucus to do so, but she has faced pressure to hold an on-the-record vote from both Democrats seeking Trump's ouster and Republicans who view the issue as a political winner.

The impeachment inquiry followed Trump's admission that he pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, as well as a whistleblower's complaint that alleges Trump sought the probe in order to help his own chances ahead of the 2020 election.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing and dismissed the investigation as a "witch hunt," while House Democrats have held a series of behind-closed-doors hearings in recent weeks with administration officials involved in Ukraine policy, including former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch on Friday, former Trump Russia adviser Fiona Hill on Monday and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent on Tuesday.

Pelosi's announcement came less than two hours before the Democratic 2020 primary field is set to hold its first debate since the impeachment inquiry began.

“The impeachment inquiry followed Trump’s admission that he pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son”

I would love to see these traitors and their worthless criminal families exiled and all assets seized. After arrest, fair trial an conviction, of course.

“Nancy blinked”

She’s just afraid to ask anyone in her party to go on record.

I disagree. It is the “House” not Pelosi and her minions who are empowered by the Constitution.(And the grounds for impeachment are clearly laid out). There is a procedure that is to be followed. These tyrants in waiting are not doing so.

repubs should walk out of the committee sessions. No subpeona power, no right for trump to confront accusers, no public hearings.

They *can* impeach however they want.
But the SC has ruled that Separation of Powers means they have to have a full House vote behind any subpoenas.

Dems don’t care that their “subpoenas” (requests) are ignorable- in fact they’re counting on it to build support.
With the media lying.

You were surprised by Bolton?

The man is a neocon. No principles other than NeverTrump, foreign intervention, and big Machiavellian government at home.

Bolton is all about Bolton, and he was very upset when Trump dismissed him, and IIRC, said he was going to “get back” at Trump.

I’ve never liked him because I thought he wanted to be President ....without this tedious stuff of getting elected.

She finally came out and said there will be no inquiry vote and it proves she has no intention of following the precedent already set in the House for previous impeachments.

She basically admits this impeachment attempt is strictly a partisan effort.
