That's been my understanding and based on that fact, "impeachment inquiry" is nothing more than Pelosi trying to keep the AOC wing of the Democrat Party satisfied that something's being done about PDJT and gin up the media propaganda machine against the President.
Both will backfire bigly on her in short order.
Its more about donations then anything. They are not getting the money that they usually see. Their Cant-idates are not appealing beyond the fringe crazies of their party.
Impeachment virtue signals to the leftists to donate money because we are doing something! Even thought they are still doing nothing but expelling hot air.
I was of the opinion expressed by you and some others as well. That it being a ‘normal’ Democrats fund raising ploy, and to pacify their more and more extreme base.
However, lately, I am thinking it doesn’t matter if ‘impeachment inquiry’ is going to House vote or not.
Democrats and their enablers are playing with fire, they know they are playing with fire but don’t care. Whatever the outcome (most likely a failed attempt), they CAN NOT turn around playing innocent and tell us they didn’t know the consequences going down this road
