Do you see Joe Biden in the video? Did you hear what he said? Do you think that RT made up the video with look alike actors?

Shoot the message not the messenger is the moto around here isn't it?
No and no. I'm just wondering why you would post a video from media that is supported by the Russians when there are other media outlets with the same information.

And so...this whistle blowing phony ploy by the democrats is falling apart...just like the Russia hoax has fallen apart.

The next few weeks are going to be very interesting...with Pelosi`s unilateral decision to fast tract the impeachment process against the POTUS. This is going to be interesting indeed.

In what way, specifically?

Weird we'd get this random assertion rather than actually addressing the facts brought up earlier in the thread. Perhaps we've entered the "because I said so, that's why!" stage of the RNC spin.

Oddly, it doesn't seem to be falling apart anywhere besides CF and right-wing bubbles.

Maybe he/she has been taking lessons from Kellyanne Conway?
Alternative facts.

I personally do believe that the Squad has nearly destroyed any hope that the Dems had in 2020.................. now this gambit will really put them into a massive decline on election day!

There are ways that President Trump could really finish them off........

one of them involves an alternative theory on stabilization of the climate that will fit with Isaiah 35

Huh? She had never said that she was going to hold a vote on beginning an impeachment inquiry. It was only Trump demanding one even though there is no legal or procedural need to.
From OP:
WASHINGTON—Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House would move ahead with an “official” impeachment effort after reports that President Trump withheld aid to Ukraine while he was pressing the country to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son.

Official impeachment effort requires a vote of the whole House; otherwise it is just a group of democrats hoping and wishing......

Show me the law or rule where it's required for a full House vote before starting an inquiry. There is no legal or procedural requirement.

C'mon girl, make up your mind......
Pelosi announces House won't vote now on whether to begin impeachment inquiry
Pelosi announces House won't vote now on whether to begin impeachment inquiry

And POP! goes another Democratic balloon.......

And pop, there goes another poster who doesn't understand the Constitution nor the WSJ article cited in the original post.

There is no constitutional requirement for the entire House to vote to begin an impeachment inquiry.

The tradition of how this has been dealt with two times has set the accepted criteria. Anything less is a scam. While Nixon resigned before the House voted it was certainly going the direction for a vote to take place and with Bill Clinton there was allowed a vote by all....and why? To do everything possible not to leave the appearance of it being a partisan endeavour.

The framers of the Constitution definitely would have agreed with this and I'm sure would have assumed it would naturally take place. To stand on the idea there's no legal requirement sets aside really all ethical standards which have already by precedent been put forth and agreed to. I think for the Dems to do this they really throw a monkey wrench into sound nation building and really create a new type of country. I suggest it would have LOST something precious along the way.

In the years up ahead the power may be reversed...the Dems have the Presidency, the Repubs have the House....there will be no grounds for complaint in future years if Repubs refuse a vote. If this is the type of nation they want then so be it but know they're the ones who in future years created the sad scenario. I think the question I'd ask some here would be IS THIS what you really want?

So tell us Wing if you would....why did the Republican-controlled House allow a vote when Clinton was impeached? I guess they were dumb to do this? Wise to? Right to? What exactly was their motives for doing so?

To do everything possible not to leave the appearance of it being a partisan endeavour.

The Nixon impeachment was started by a Judiciary Committee vote on May 4, 1974.
The House Judiciary did not pass 3 articles of impeachment until nearly 3 months later - July 27-30th....at that point, a House vote was to occur but never did.

Nixon resigned on Aug 8th.
The complete Watergate timeline (it took longer than you realize)

Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry on September 24th, three weeks ago. The Congress, with the exception of the Intelligence Committee, has been in recess until this week.

You would have to ask them. The fact is, each House has conducted the Nixon and Clinton impeachment inquiries differently.
