impeachment resolution that calls for public hearings in which both the chair and ranking Republican on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence can call and question witnesses and subpoena documents.
The eight-page resolution appears to address at least some of the complaints GOP lawmakers have raised since the effort began by allowing Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the committee, nearly as much authority as Chairman Adam Schiff.
Nunes and Schiff “shall be permitted to question witnesses for equal specified periods of longer than five minutes, as determined by the chair. The time available for each period of questioning under this paragraph shall be equal for the chair and the ranking minority member,” the resolution reads.

Watch the kangaroo court continue.
Sorry about the missing first line. That’s what I get for buying an inexpensive refurbished computer.
The catch...
“Directing certain committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America,”....
Yawwwnnn...
It is NOT "formalizing the inquiry"!!!
It is DEFINING THE PROCESS!!!!
Shame to try an legitimize the existing kangaroo court Facist process. Total fraud.
Not an impeachment vote. Now it’s a vote for procedures for an “inquiry”
I read over the stupid thing and it changes nothing as far as the presidents side. Release transcripts okayed by Shift. A;;ow witnesses only okayed by Shift. Ask questions approved by Shift. Nothing but a Shift Show.
I would laugh at their arrogance if so many were not likely to buy into this.
It's to keep the words "impeachment" and "vote" in the headlines. Nothing more.
NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: Beware the revenge or all internet users.Your party will never recover if you do not stop now.
I read the whole damn thing myself. A joke.
repubs need to file a resolution to investigate adam schiff for possible impeachment..
Democrats better stop now.
Go DIMs. Hopefully, you are signing your arrest warrants for your perfidy and sedition.
They’re like spoiled little children angry at their parents for being corrected.
Now they’re playing with matches threatening to burn the house down. At this point you have to take the matches away and send them to their rooms without dinner.
That is not 'empowered'. Kangaroo Court.
Formalizing a sham dog and pony show. Formal, informal, it is still not an impeachment inquiry. It is Pelosi’s sideshow to placate her communist base but save face for Rats running in pro-Trump districts.
This doesn’t end well for Bela Pelosi. It is going to blow up in her face. Which is nice.
I looked up the Al Green impeachment bill that was voted down by the House. The contrast is amazing. That bill said that crimes were committed and defined them and then called for impeachment.
What is being voted on on Thursday is a process that says keep doing essentially what they have been doing, which is a fishing expedition to look for evidence of possible crimes.
If there were crimes, identify them, vote for impeachment and then hand it over to the Senate and Supreme Court chief justice to conduct a trial so that “real evidence” can be presented under oath and cross examined.
This is a kangaroo court or Soviet style show trial.
