Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to stand firm Tuesday, insisting she will not stage a vote on the House floor to officially launch an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Trump and his Republican allies have been pressuring Pelosi to hold a formal vote to begin the investigation a move they believe would grant them more power and influence in the process, including the ability to call and subpoena their own witnesses.
Last month, Pelosi formally launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump after months of resisting calls from her caucus to do so, but she has faced pressure to hold an on-the-record vote from both Democrats seeking Trump's ouster and Republicans who view the issue as a political winner.
The impeachment inquiry followed Trump's admission that he pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, as well as a whistleblower's complaint that alleges Trump sought the probe in order to help his own chances ahead of the 2020 election.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and dismissed the investigation as a "witch hunt," while House Democrats have held a series of behind-closed-doors hearings in recent weeks with administration officials involved in Ukraine policy, including former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch on Friday, former Trump Russia adviser Fiona Hill on Monday and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent on Tuesday.
Pelosi's announcement came less than two hours before the Democratic 2020 primary field is set to hold its first debate since the impeachment inquiry began.

Pelosi does not have the votes...the Democrat Moderates & Blue Dogs have abandoned her and her two rat rodents, Schiff & Nadler. Game over for Ms. Pelosi & Company!!!
Vote Tulsi Gabbard to win the Drudge Report 2020 POTUS Poll!!! Help us destroy the entire democrat Party politically!!!
There is an extremely simple fix. Mirror subpoena from the senate. Force public testimony of all witnesses that go before the secret house committees. Simple questions. What were you asked in the house and what was your response.
Let loose the dogs of war.
You couldn’t pay me to go to that site.
“Pelosi formally launched an impeachment inquiry”
Formally. Not officially or legally. Weasel words. Blah blah blah.
I think you kinda like her.
The Shiv is their weapon of choice.
Unless and until theres an official and affirmative impeachment vote, the president should dismiss any and all requests from the Democrats and questions from their comrades in the media.
Time to send the House stuffed Kangaroos!
"A Whore Lotta Lyin"!
She doesn't want to impeach. She knows if that happens that it opens up a lot of territory the Left doesn't want to have anyone poking around in.
No vote, no impeachment.
Ignore them.
Time for a reminder;

Hunter Biden move over. Now Nancy Pelosis son may be looking to take center stage with the Ukraine controversy. Paul Pelosi, Jr. spent time in Ukraine in 2017.
BOOM: Nancy Pelosis son Paul Pelosi Jr. (who went to Ukraine in 2017) was a board member of Viscoil and executive at its related company NRGLab, which DID ENERGY Business in UKRAINE! And Nancy Pelosi appeared in a promotional video for the company!
That works too, probably more appropriate.
Neo-Consism is an infectious disease.
Unless we include some in R jerseys that would not do much good.
Plenty of GOP Senators still want amnesty for the illegal aliens they encouraged through non-enforcement to colonize our country.
Pelosi to America, F-You.
The impeachment inquiry followed Trump’s admission that he pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, as well as a whistleblower’s complaint that alleges Trump sought the probe in order to help his own chances ahead of the 2020 election. ?????????????
WTF! He did not admit that!
