    There'll be no vote. They're hoping to extend this charade as close to the next election as possible and then release strategic info which will only present one side.. They certainly can't win using the usual process..

    The House isn't just partisan democrats, the House is everyone so to move forward they need a vote to start the impeachment inquiry by the House Judiciary Committee otherwise there is no force of penalty for not cooperating. Basically they are sending out request letters and telling the public they are subpoena's.

    Sounds just like the claims made before the Sham Russian Hoax, doesn't it? Nancy and Adam have cried wolf even before Trump took office, yet despite the dozens of fake sightings the gullible still believe.. They're still buying the snake oil so Schiff and Pelosi will continue the selling.

    votes come after the investigation and after the articles are drafted. That's' how they know what they are voting on and what the evidence is..

    Are you claiming the house can’t issue subpoenas unless it’s an impeachment proceeding???

    Huh? "The same as"? You seem unfamiliar with the facts in both cases.

    There's an ongoing investigation as to why Hillary Clinton wasn't charged. It has links to Comey and Sztrok. who are also being investigated. Better find other analogies, if you can.

    Nope. You don't run this investigation. The full House voted on the House rules and who the Speaker should be. If the Republicans want to change course. They can make the proper motions and persuade a majority of House members to alter the House Rules and vote to remove Pelosi and replace her with a Trumpster from Georgia.

    The only way this is accurate is if you define "move forward" as sending articles of impeachment to the Senate. That is the only time that a full vote is required.

    And subpoenas currently issued are valid subpoenas.

    Well, the big difference between all of these Deep States investigations you guys are always talking about and the investigations into Trump andcompany are that guys actually go to jail in these shallow state type deals. Two more Trump associates went down just last week. See what I mean? This Ukraine deal just started a few weeks ago and already, guys are in jail right after having breakfast with Trump’s attorney. You guys have been talking about Barr’s deep State special for years now and nobody has been arrested.

    The founding fathers would be turning in their grave to see one party weaponize impeachment into a campaign tool.

    That’s exactly what it is, without any criminal implications. A senate conviction doesn’t carry criminal penalties.

    He’s being impeached for weaponizing foreign policy into a campaign tool

    Nope. If the court finds you not guilty you are absolved of the charge. If the House impeached you, finds you guilty of the articles of impeachment you are forever impeached. The Senate merely passes sentencing if you insist on some analogy.

    That doesn't make them "associates" I know LOTS of people with whom I am not an associated. And you used the plural and now only one?

    The house issues what is basically an indictment. Then a trial in the senate.

    He’s known one for years and now they are working for his personal lawyer? Sounds like associates to me!
