Pelosi: No House vote on impeachment inquiry [Developing]

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.

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.

“Pelosi formally launched an impeachment inquiry”

Formally. Not officially or legally. Weasel words. Blah blah blah.

Unless and until there’s 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.

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.

Hunter Biden move over. Now Nancy Pelosi’s son may be looking to take center stage with the Ukraine controversy. Paul Pelosi, Jr. spent time in Ukraine in 2017.

“BOOM: Nancy Pelosi’s 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!”

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.
