They are damned if they do or don’t!
or the Dems will vote for a New Speaker ,LOL
Nancy really does not want a vote (imho) because she is still looking for a way to walk this circus back into the tent.
Of course at this point the wild animals have pooped all over the street....so the mess is kinda public.
First they called for Impeachment before Trump was sworn in. Now after almost three years since the election, they are finally at “inquiry”. This is the result of the Pelosi team for three years. Nothing done, just “We got him now, er, how about now, wait, how about now, Um, maybe now?”
Give her some credit, she is smart enough to know when the roll is taken, those who vote for it to go forward are dead meat in an election because it is a house of cards. I can see the first article: I have this whistleblower, or is that blower's, report that Trump did a quid pro quo. First comment, what is the best evidence of that, the complaint or the reminisces of Joey's staffer about what was said. Ah, well, boing....denied. Moving along. I have this second article, says President impeded the Russian Hoax, er I mean inquiry. First question, when did denying that something happened constitute obstruction....boing, moving along et al. At the end of the day, NADA.
Even if she does, and it passes, she will just change House Rules and past precedent and still not allow Republicans on those committees to play
Schitt is running the show now, and will ultimately be the reason this will all backfire on them
(I wonder how many Sunday shows he’s booked for tomorrow so he can be the one to tell (lie to) us what went on yesterday behind closed doors)
Watch..come Monday plastic Pelosi will announce the impeachment house vote on Thursday...the squad are biting at her heels to hold the vote..nervous Nancy is scared chitless of the squad ..she’ll cave!!
What is an Impeachment Inquiry Vote. More made up $hit?
The sooner we get it over with the better. Dems will pass zero legislation from here to Nov 2020, which is a good thing. And open up a can of worms when the Senate Repubs run the trial.
So far, Pelosi has refused to schedule a vote, arguing that the Constitution and House rules do not require the lawmakers to do so.
+++++
Pelosi is actually correct on this point. There is no requirement for a vote to initiate an investigation leading to an impeachment vote.
But if Pelosi gives in and holds the vote it will be a big plus for Trump and the Republicans. They will be able to cross examine witnesses, subpoena their own witness and have legal council.
Pelosi doesnt want that. So we are in yet another PR battle to force her hand. It might be starting to work.
Her problem is that she knows many democrats are guilty of a lot of things and President Trump wot be shy about bringing that up by calling witnesses.
arguing that the presidents defenders will simply find other reasons to not comply with the inquiry.
Indeed. Thats the rules. Thats playing the game.
You dont play a game by simply declaring victory, then whining when the opponent insists on actually playing by the rules.
The Dems think they can execute a coup and life will go on like before. Have they thought about the possibility of what trying to rule over a flaming wreckage of a country they have caused?
Those must be the ones that don't have relatives with cherry deals with Ukrainian oligarchs.
There is a 100 % chance of impeachment.....get it over with so everyone can move on
Pelosi and Trump are in cahoots yaknow. Pass it on. ;-)
Once the Dems realize this, Oh man.
She doesn’t really want to have to pick your own grapes nor does Trump want to have to mow the greens at his courses globally.

Adam Schiff for Speaker of the House.
One could certainly make the argument that no inquiry vote is necessary; one could even make the argument that no inquiry is necessary and proceed directly to the impeachment vote. Which the Dems would if it stopped there, but it doesn't.
