You Russian trolls slipped up a little in 2018, Comrade.This gained momentum and became a regular thing under Obama's Win at ALL Costs, Elections have Consequences Political Kamikaze Warfare.I think you're confused.Explain how and why you think it changed?In every other impeachment the house voted. Should not Trump receive the same treatment?
In both modern cases the House Committees didn't have standing subpoena power and a vote was required to give any committee, not just an impeachment inquiry, subpoena power. That has since changed.
In 2015 the Republican House changed the rules to give various committee chairs the right to subpoena witnesses without a vote to authorize that power. Before you ask, yes the Dems complained like the Trumpubs are now.
Dems blast House GOP subpoena rules change
So various committee already have that power. Why is there a need to vote to get something they already have?
Before.....we had a Congress that was working together and interested in doing the People's work.
Then the Democrats became extremely partisan and obstructionist (and became communists). So all they had to do was say no when they were in the minority. They had to change the rules to prevent Democrats from preventing discovery in investigations.
Right now Democrats are calling it an impeachment when in fact it is a one-sided search for crimes in a highly partisan inquisition....similar to a Salem Witch Trial
