Of course it is. The Dems have no intention of voting for impeachment where Trump can bring in evidence that this whole thing is nothing but a coup attempt by the Rats and the deep state.
As with most of the issues that have come up with Trump, this isn’t really a matter of Repbulicans versus Democrats, it’s Corporate-Globalists versus Nationalists. There are quite a few Republicans in the Corporate-Globalist camp, not just the obvious ones like that pompous weasel Mitt Romney. As much as I despise the guy, Flake is right. If Senate Republicans could vote in secret Trump might get convicted.
For over a year I’ve been hearing various Democrat party representatives and followers express the notion that the only way to get rid of Trump is to figure out some way to impeach him - he won’t be defeated in the 2020 election.
At this point they have nothing to lose here. I don’t think impeachment will ever come up for a vote in the House, there could be political consequences for that! As it is the Globalists and their compliant Media-whores are getting to spend weeks throwing unfounded accusations at President Trump.
Yer gettin’ warm.
The article does a good job explaining the legalities of impeachment, but misses the central fact.
As you stated, Trump could push back if a vote was taken.
Fully explained, with a House vote, which the Dems would likely carry, an impeachment inquiry would formally begin and be assigned to an original committee.
So what?
Weeeeell, the Republican members of that same committee would also not be stopped from issuing their own subpoenas....
To anyone they wanted to........ And compel testimony......
From the Bidens.......
Is it the DOJ who would rule the House? Why does not the House itself prosecute the Speaker for not following the rules?
Someone should do something if rules are broken or not followed.
The House will definitely vote to impeach when the intelligence committee sends it to the floor for a vote, of course without a trial.

Agree. Pelosi/Romney are just trying to slow walk this and peel off a few GOP votes for impeachment so House Democrats in competitive 2020 races do not have to vote for impeachment.
If you boycott the proceedings, you have no idea what is coming. If you attend and pay attention you can report and counter the flawed info being spewed by the democrats.
I cannot believe it has gone this far. Is this a game of chicken? The President has let the left come closer and closer and has inexplicably done nothing to punish them for this coup. So it’s like Pelosi has a noose and POTUS Trump has a noose and we are waiting to see who gets hung first. I think President Trump has always assumed they would hang themselves but a BS impeachment circus during the election can be only a win for the rebellion who depend on the stupidest voters in America. We certainly know the DOJ will do nothing.
Ladies & Gentlemen...I have only one silly question. Where the heck is Speaker-of-the-House, Democrat, Nancy Pelosi?
Should not the failed Speaker be the highlight of every Sunday News Show today!!! Is her beloved, adoring, media giving her a pass and protecting her failed efforts? Where oh, where is Nancy Pelosi...today? Nowhere to be found or heard from!!!
Maybe Nancy is preparing the House vote for the POTUS, Trump impeachment for tomorrow morning? Nah!!!
Very good article by Andy M.
