But Slimy McCarthy must first hold a vote on the House floor to authorize an impeachment inquiry in order to give the committees the proper legal subpoena powers, not just hold a press conference.
He does NOT have to have a floor vote. Pelosi didn’t.
An “impeachment inquiry” will give the House subpoena powers over Biden’s tax records and bank records. But McCarthy must first hold a vote on the House floor “to authorize an impeachment inquiry” in order to give the committees the proper legal subpoena powers.
On October 15, 2019, three weeks after unilaterally declaring an “impeachment inquiry against Trump,” Speaker Pelosi, backed by Adam Schiff, insisted there was no requirement to hold an “authorizing vote,” and that they would not hold an “authorizing vote.”
CNN reported October 2019, Pelosi, hot to “get Trump,” clearly stated,
<><>”We’re not here to call bluffs.
<><>We’re here to find the truth,
<><>to uphold the Constitution of the United States …
<><>This is not a game for us.
<><>This is deadly serious,
<><>we’re on a path to truth
<><>and a timetable that respects our Constitution.”
So is McCarthy, now.
