House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced on Monday that they would be voting on a resolution to formalize the next steps of the impeachment inquiry.
From Daily Caller:
We are taking this step 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, Pelosi said in a letter to Democrats early Monday.
But then later in the day, she came out and said that this was not an impeachment resolution.(when asked by a reporter, see video at link)
So is it an actual formal floor vote to open an impeachment inquiry? Or something pretending to be in order to try to remove the Republicans good argument that they dont have the proper authority and are acting without transparency?

Pelosi wil wait until the last moment, determine when she has the minimum number of required votes (See: Obamacare), and allow the rest of the DEMs to vote No before taking an official vote.
Yep. It’s so obvious even Stevie Wonder could see it. No doubt Gardner and Collins are looking forward to their impachment votes when this coupist garbage gets to the Senate.
I don’t think it really has anything to do with the votes required, because I think she would find a way make that fail.
I don’t believe she wants to do this to the country.
Does ANYBODY have any idea at all when IG Horowitzs FISA Report is due to be released??
Horowitz sent a letter to Congress last week saying “soon.” Unbelievable, isn’t it?
The dems know they hitched their wagon to a dead horse. This Ukraine thing is so weak as to be confusing as to why they are doing it.
True, but it will still hurt the Dems who are in GOP/Trump Districts.
It will hurt blue state GOP Senators up in 2020 a lot more. I’m sure the Dems will happily trade a couple of lost House seats for control of the Senate.
For what then? Pepperoni vs ham and pineapple pizza?
more Bullsheit from Pelosi
she’s definitely gone off her rocker
She is just trying to hold them together in the meantime and make some inroads in 2020 or hold seats.
Think of it as someone spinning plates on a stick.
She is trying to keep as many spinning, in the chaos and managing the circus at the same time.
When a Unicorn wins the Kentucky Derby.
They’re taking a vote to take a vote.
I’ve haven’t seen such flip-flopping and wishy-washiness, since Lurch Kerry tried to run for president.
Well then Nancy, nobody should treat it like it’s anything but Democrats doing nothing.
Time to vote them all out, then the capitulate-Rs .
They have had several votes and lost every one of them.
Last May as I recall.
Most American voters will see it as an impeachment vote.
Which is bad news for RATs in Districts Trump won in 2016.
Her Letter says its a Resolution.
Entire letter at link below, main point
“This week, we will bring a resolution to the Floor that affirms the ongoing, existing investigation that is currently being conducted by our committees as part of this impeachment inquiry, including all requests for documents, subpoenas for records and testimony, and any other investigative steps previously taken or to be taken as part of this investigation.”
“This resolution establishes the procedure for hearings that are open to the American people, authorizes the disclosure of deposition transcripts, outlines procedures to transfer evidence to the Judiciary Committee as it considers potential articles of impeachment, and sets forth due process rights for the President and his Counsel.”
