Nonsense!
You say "actual" as if this means something, but it doesn't. As I outlined she and her party have everything they need to impeach Trump. They have empowered committee chairs with subpenoa power.
I also don't think the red-disctricts Democrats feel any fear of voting for an inquiry. They just did it this morning - all but two voted YES.
The "motions of impeachment" only require one thing: Articles of Impeachment be presented to the House and passed.
We're in the middle of that process, and if you think that somehow Nancy's vote was imprecise or imperfect and therefore can't result in achieving that goal you are, in my opinion, simply wrong.
This will be proven, probably by the end of the year, when Nadler passes the Articles of Impeachment out of the Judiciary committee.
You might still be sitting there arguing that this is a fake impeachment because you don't like the rule Pelosi is using, but the truth is the majority in the House has wide latitude to craft whatever rules they like.
A full house vote on the Articles is the one absolute requirement, and it's clear that they have that in hand already (despite so called Red District Democrats).
We could set up a pool on the date of the Full House vote though. I say Feb 28, 2020. A Friday.
I believe Nancy has said that she wants to pass the Impeachment out of the House before Christmas, and they probably will.
But, from her point of view it's not a big deal to drag it out an extra month or even two, so that could happen.
Every day that occurs between TODAY, when the Official Inquiry Rules were passed, and THAT DAY when the House votes for Impeachment and sends the articles to the Senate for trial is a day the MSM can and will report and pontificate about "The Shocking New Bombshell Evidence in the Impeachment of President Trump".
It's sickening to think about, but that is what we are all in for. And whether it's 2 months, or 3 months or 4 months, it's just not that big a deal for Nancy and the Dems. They will be enjoying every slanted NBC News report, every poll result showing growth in Americans supporting Trump's removal, every panicked Republican who goes turncoat and denounces the Donald.
We really really need arrests and indictments of the Deep State Traitors now to have any chance of holding onto some part of the narrative.
Which would take up to FIVE Democrat senators off the presidential campaign trail right in the middle of primary season for THREE to SIX WEEKS. Do you think they want to do that?
