Time for the Dems to step up the plate, how many will have the guts to put their name on that resolution? For some it will cost them their job, so it should be interesting.

We will see if Pelosi and Shciff change the rules again and refuse to allow Republicans to subpoena witnesses as well, allow Republicans to cross examine and to hold these proceeding in public.

My guess is no. Nothing will change except their Subpoenas now will carry the force of law.

Impeachment Proceedings vs Impeachment Inquiries.Two different things.You can inquire until hell freezes over and that does not mean you will get any replies.

Fake, illegitimate charges by a perpetual liar and a left wing Alzheimer patient. Reminds you of the movie Ox Bow Incident where hatred is the platform of justice and vigilantism is the hallmark of cowards afraid of the truth. This includes the DNC media outlets fed lies by Adam-piece-of-Schitt.

Darn good analagy except these maroons knew the lynchee (might have made up the word) was innocent at the start of the process.

Pelosi says House will vote this week on resolution formalizing impeachment inquiry

Means nothing. Formal "inquiry" vs. that informal thing they have now. This is simply a way to string the news cycle along trying to keep this in the news. Let's see if they have some "delay" taht keeps them taking about "formal inquiry vote" until after the Christmas break.

Rule 7 - "Any tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag" - Saul Alinsky.

They are in danger of running afoul of their own playbook.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to pack 50,000 into arenas and kills ISIS Caliphate Leader.

Well it was a formal inquiry before it was an informal inquiry. Remember we need to pass the bill in order to read it. What would you expect from an unconstitutional lunatic suffering from Alzheimers.

This is already old news for the majority of Americans. Nobody cares what the Demos are blathering about--they've already lost their audience. They are playing the game with an outdated set of rules.

Official vote won't happen unless one thing is true. The opening of an official inquiry by vote gives the house the ability to enforce subpeonas. Right now the "subpeonas" they are issuing are just formal request letters and have no power in the judicial system. Right now if Schiff wanted to force someone to show up and testify, he has no standing in court to force a witness to show up and testify or risk being held in contempt of congress. Once the house votes to formally initiate an impeachment inquiry it gives them the legal authority to enforce subpeonas via the judicial system (i.e. they can issue subpeonas and the person receiving them can be legally forced to show up and testify).

The timing of the vote to open a formal investigation may likely coincide with inspector general report details being released. Remember the larger picture of all the politics in play at any moment in DC. What is happening re: impeachment may be tied to this other thing over here - investigating the investigators.

That or Nancy knows she doesn't have the votes from the D's who won in Trump districts and she wants to get it over with. But I think she's smart enough to know that the big gun of opening the official inquiry is an ace up her sleeve she will need for later I think she knows D control of the house is toast in 2020 and she's going to do everything she can to bring down Trump. 1/3 of the country is on board with "impeachment" (no one talks about removal from office) so let's make it a big show!!

Well, maybe you're right...

Their only hope seems to them to be to impeach him and hope folks think he could face trial in the senate and thus not vote for someone impeached or possibly on the way out.

Dems about to cross a line and open Pandora's Box.

First of all lets get this straight.....it's not at all about impeachment....it's about the destruction of a sitting president.....Anything and everything they can do to achieve this is what they will do.....it's a masquerade.....and they will carry it as long as they can because it's their agenda.....it's their ticket to victory in 2020

Nancy is sacrificing the reps in purple districts come next election. Not a smart move for Dems.

Bring it, Bitch.

Absolutely

I'm lovin this! They're creating our very own enemy's list!!! Get this.... FOR ALL TIME! FOREVER MORE.

Of course they did/do....it's not about impeaching him....it's about trying to salvage a dying democrat party that's about to be exposed by Barr, the Horowitz report and the Durham investigation.....the silent coup is over, they know it, and now it's all about damage control.

These dems are a pathetic joke. A dangerous one, but still a joke.

IMHO, they're gonna lose a lot more than just the purple districts.....their current crop of presidential candidates are ALL preaching 1st and 2nd amendment restrictions...NONE of them like our current system of a representative republic.....NONE of them like our economic system....NONE of them like our immigration system
I could go on for hours...

Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman is set to give his deposition tomorrow behind closed doors, apparently his opening statement has been leaked to the NYT. The House vote will follow on Thursday.

Naw, the democrats have the ballot boxes already stuffed, the dead voters all lined up and of course the rigged electronic voting machines.

They are not worried.

Impeachment................Impeachment............Impeachment..........Impeachment........................

We gonna REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY get him this time......LOL>>>LOL>>>LOL.......

The demee CRAPS are only trying to bring down the poll #s with this impeachment fraud and fiasco........Isn't working!!!

A big f u from the senate to the house should the house send it over..............LOL>>>LOL...........

Hillary by a solid 10, bank on it

Spot on as usual!

Correct.

UPDATED: Pelosi Calls House Vote to Affirm Speaker Impeachment Inquiry The House Never Authorized…
Posted on October 28, 2019 by sundance

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: “and for other purposes”.

Note in this video, 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.

Additionally, notice that like Pelosi, Chairman Schiff is careful not to use the words “impeachment investigation”, but rather says “impeachment inquiry”:

The rules for an “impeachment investigation” would provide rights for the minority and also rights for the Executive branch.

So instead of having a House vote to authorize an impeachment investigation, with subsequent rights for the minority; they are having a House vote to affirm the “impeachment inquiry” with an entirely different set of House rules that do not include rights for the minority.

Nice trick huh?

The more they push this BS (i.e., pro wrestling), the less voters they're gonna get next election.. Brings a smile to my face..

That's akin to Bill Clinton saying "I did not have sex with that girl"....it didn't work then & it won't work now.

This MIGHT be a race to go public. Either the investigate the investigator results go public first, then impeachment vote looks like payback, or impeachment vote goes first and investigation results look like payback.

None of this is about the country, it's all about perceptions and power

The longer this goes on, the more I'm concerned about complete and absolute voter fraud like we've never seen.

You guys are missing the point....go back to Steve 4102's post and READ it. Keywords, "inquiry", vs "resolution".

Yep....
