The House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines Thursday to broaden the panels powers to investigate President Trump as Democrats seek to build their case for impeachment and clean up their oversight message amid a month of mixed signals.
The move does not launch a formal impeachment process, but marks the first time a Democratic panel has voted on language that explicitly lays out how the partys ongoing investigations into alleged presidential misconduct could lead to drafting and eventual votes on impeachment articles.
The partisan 24-17 vote followed more than two hours of feisty debate, as Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) made Democrats case for securing disputed information from an uncooperative administration, and Republicans rushed to Trumps defense with accusations that Democrats are pretending to pursue impeachment without actually doing so.

Let these idiots run with it.
What a loser.

“Double Secret Impeachment”
2020 is gonna be one for the record books.
They are evil and insane.
I think I know the answer but I am just testing.
Yup. This is going to guarantee Trump’s re-election. Anyone who is not a hardcore partisan Democrat will be completely turned-off.
Dean Wormer would be very proud.
They have nothing. They are still fishing for a crime. That’s the only sort of investigation they plan to do.
I say they just cut to the chase and flat out vote “Guilty”. You know that’s all they want to do.
I dunno.
This can end up being hugh.
and series.
SMH
They never learn and are blinded by hate.
Which is actually a good thing for us because they have NO OTHER agenda.
BECAUSE WE HATE TRUMP doesn’t impress voters.
The Commies have definitely overstepped on this horse hockey.
Bless their hearts.
There will never even be an impeachment vote in committee, much less on the House floor.
It’s all BS for their their base, who is too stupid to know what’s going on.
Super Duper Nads Scooper.
So far all it generates are fun SciFi stories!
Agree.
Even if they don't find anything by running 'on-going investigations' they can the idea Trump is guilty of something in news.
The Democratic Media Complex will keep the narrative going.
The Democrats went on television and said they were going to impeach him and they did this before even took office.
And no one on the left including all of their sycophants in the media saw nothing wrong with this.
A Democrat that I knew for a long time, a well-educated and intelligent individual but a very strong leftist, told me quite seriously that he thought the Republican Party should be outlawed that we should have one party, the Democrats. I was stunned because he was not being facetious or making a joke, or saying something extreme to make a point. He clearly meant that there should be one party, the Socialist Party.
