Pelosi Calls House Vote to Affirm Speaker Impeachment Inquiry The House Never Authorized…

Very nice trick here by the Lawfare advisory and rules committee that is handling the construct of the “Official House Inquiry” on impeachment. It is such a good trick it has everyone crossed-up and confused. Likely, that is by design.

On Thursday of this week Speaker Pelosi is bringing to the floor a resolution to affirm her previous declaration of an “Official House Inquiry”. Mrs. Pelosi is very purposefully and carefully telling reporters this is not a “House resolution on impeachment”.

Read the wording carefully.

Speaker Pelosi is holding a vote, a resolution, to affirm her previous declaration of a House “inquiry”. The resolution is currently being written by Lawfare. Pelosi is not delivering a House “Resolution on Impeachment” for a vote, because if she did hold a vote on an impeachment resolution, the minority and the Executive branch would gain rights therein.

This is a House vote to show support for Pelosi’s previous unilateral decree. Right now the rules committee is adding language to the resolution that will provide additional one-sided support for a completely partisan process.

Pelosi is careful to say “this is not an impeachment resolution”.

It is not an “impeachment resolution”, it is a resolution to support the already existing “impeachment inquiry”.

Pelosi and the Lawfare crew are playing games.

Thanks for posting this reality!

”The stupid public already believes anyone in the house can unilaterally start impeachment proceedings on anyone.”

That is correct, any member can introduce a resolution which, without any voting, can be referred by the Speaker to a committee for investigation, eventual committee vote, and referral to the floor.

Apart from the naked political aspect of this business, there’s nothing illegal or even shady about it.
