The Dam is Breaking!Looks like the Ambassador decided to ignore Donald and testified against Trump's request, order, whatever. This kind of thing, ignoring Trump with damning testimony, will probably happen a lot now.

Sure. Take the letter Chairman Cummings jointly signed with Chairmen Adam Schiff and Eliot Engel, respectively of the Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees. After a couple of pages of throat-clearing about the purported “impeachment inquiry,” the chairmen observe that, even without such an inquiry, the Oversight Committee has its own independent authority to conduct oversight investigations and issue subpoenas. In other words, information is actually being demanded under Congress’s routine authority to scrutinize executive activities. There would be nothing extraordinary about it . . . except that senior Democrats have decided to hang an “impeachment” sign on the exercise, hoping you won’t notice that the House has not voted to explore impeachment, and that its Democratic leaders are going out of their way to avoid such a vote.Not sure what you are talking about. The House will lose Impeachment in the Senate, if they even dare to take this farce that far. And that will be followed by a sound repudiation of the House by the US Electorate as they return Trump for a second term.Trump administration orders ambassador not to appear at House impeachment probe deposition
Trump is a true cow boy! Calling out the cowards of the county!
God bless you trump! We stand with you!
And when the real Impeachment happens then the Rump Mob just starts the obstruction all over again. We've seen this before. AT what point does it stop. After they drag Rump from the White House will he still be screaming Executive Privilege? And will Pompeo still be trying to block things along with Barr? Nope, Pompeo and Barr will be screaming from the high heavens on what nasty things that bad old Rump tried to get them to do at that point. As they drag both of them off as well.
We traded the Deep for the Mob.
Trump tells House they can wipe their asses with their "subpoenas" because they haven't held a vote.
The president is correct that the Constitution gives the impeachment power to the House of Representatives. The power is not given to the speaker of the House or to a cabal of partisan committee chairmen. It belongs to the House as an institution.
The House acts as an institution by voting. On the matter of conducting an impeachment inquiry, the House has not voted.
This is a cold political calculation by Pelosi.
She knows Democratic control of the House hinges not on the AOC lefties, for whom impeachment is an easy vote; it hinges on about 41 Democrats who hold seats in districts Trump won in 2016. Impeachment is apt to be unpopular among those voters. Democrats who support it may imperil their re-election and party’s majority.
With Pelosi, it's ALL Politics,

Why is there need to call any type of special inquiry for the various committees' investigations into the president? They already have the subpoena power don't they? The recent Republican led House didn't need to vote on any special inquiry to be able to issue subpoenas to President Obama's administration did they?

The inquiries and investigations occur in order to build a case.
Then what's your complaint?How's that
"You ain't interviewing anyone..." thing going?
Looks like they're lining up to testify now
Haha, and right into the fetal position you go....UhVote on it if you have an actual

It absolutely was. Vapid whining.uh, yeah, sure. that's exactly what that was.
No. They can paper the walls with subpoena, they simply have no coercive purpose unless they are the service of a legitimate legislative function.ANDREW NAPOLITANO: ...the White House lawyers, "You can't issue a subpoena until there's a vote."...
Not for impeachment. The House has the power to make it's own rules, it cannot bind the Executive Branch through it's rule making power, that only binds the House.... Well, the Republicans changed the rules when John Boehner was Speaker of the House, allowing each individual committee to issue subpoenas, without a House-wide vote...
Then take it to court.... So those subpoenas are valid...
The WH responded.... and people who resist them, ignore them, put them in a drawer, do so at their peril. If you get a subpoena that asks for something that you don't think you should have to produce, you have to challenge the subpoena, you can't ignore it.

I didn't declare victory. I mocked you.
Correct . You are the one who sissied out of the discussion. And i mocked you for it. I think youre getting this!oh, you mocked me in response to my mockery of you, but I was whining.

So, to review:
Pelosi has no need to vote yet, as the information, documents, and depositions are still coming in waves. And these will be used to build a case for impeachment.
This isn't rocket surgery, my man.
I, of course, completely destroyed your point, which was just a bunch of vapid whining in response to me saying she wont hold a vote, because she doesnt need to hold one yet, necause she is getting waves of evidence without it. Your response to this was a 3rd grade level whinefest to insult Pelosi and say "bullshit".There was no discussion, as you did not in any way rebut my point,
