Former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova said Democrats are doing an "impeachment lite" and not a formal impeachment inquiry in order to avoid giving Republicans subpoena power. From his interview with Lou Dobbs on Thursday:
JOE DIGENOVA: It's quite obvious what the Democrats are doing. They have not had a vote on the floor of the House to start a formal impeachment inquiry because if they were to have such a vote, under the House rules for impeachment, the Republicans would get subpoena power.In order to avoid giving the Republicans subpoena power, they are doing impeachment lite with these six different committees who are claiming it's an impeachment inquiry, and they are trying to subpoena people and get documents without having an impeachment vote on the floor. That is why the White House said we are not going to cooperate with this kangaroo court.
(snip)
DIGENOVA: Yes. In fact, the White House position is very well-founded based on the history of impeachment proceedings of presidents, not judges... In terms of impeachment proceedings of the presidents, always there has been a vote on the floor of the House and the minority has been given subpoena power.
VICTORIA TOENSING: And the constitution basis for that, Lou, is that the Congress is supposed to be the legislative body. Well, they're not legislating when they're impeaching so they become a different kind of entity. And in that, they have to have the full support of the majority of the body. This is legal chess and the White House just moved its queen.

All because the Left couldn't accept an election result by the American citizens.
The lefties despise American Citizens who don’t agree with them or who won’t subjugate themselves to their lunacy.
...and there’s that pesky Second Amendment in their way.
Democrats always change the rules to their advantage. Republicans always go, “duh, okay.”
Democrats aren’t legislating they are lynch mobbing.
Thank God we don’t have to depend on the GOP for our Freedom.
Kevin McCarthy must go every Sunday talk show and emotionally call out Pelosi. Go after her mental state and pound that she is not fit because of her age to do the job. Stop talking about technicalities go after her health. Kevin pound the table man. She is the weak link. Destroy her by mentioning her son was doing business in the Ukraine. Pound the crap out of her.
Which is why every last time the ask for Documents, trump should send Iron Clad Incriminating Evidence of them and their buddies committing Corruption on a massive scale.
Senate should start rapid fire judge confirmations, focusing specifically on judges hostile to abortion
Two women are trying to destroy this country. Clinton and Pelosi and one is senile and the is a witch. My sympathies go out to Bill Clinton. Bill you married a sick witch. Bill jump on anything you can brother. I’m on your side from here on out.
The Republicans really ought boycott any committee hearings and pronounce them a fraud.
Kevin McCarthy must walk on every aspect of this fraud. Kevin is not Mr. brilliant or Mr. Emotional. Another bad choice.
