Well...
The House has sole power of impeachment.
Impeachment is analogous of indictment.
No defendant is represented by counsel during grand jury procedures. Grand juries hand down indictments.
Was it the constitution of the United States you purportedly read and understood?
The House is not impeaching Trump, Nancy-pants and the Democrat Party is doing it and behind closed doors to boot!!. She needs a vote but knows she can't get it so she has testimony behind closed doors so they can spin the leaks. For God's sake WAKE UP!
Hearing depositions as well as many impeachment proceedings are held behind closed doors in order to prevent witnesses from co-ordinarily testimony. Speaker Pelosi does not have to hold a vote to open impeachment inquiries. The constitution and the House rules do not specify a full House vote is required to open an impeachment inquiry.
Both Democrat and Republican members serve on the House Intelligence committee. The Republicans are masters of spinning leaks. Let them do the dirty work.
This is not news. These are the procedures. Why haven't you heard of them? Didn't they cover this on Fox?
Yes, it's Pelosi's impeachment. And stop with your 'do not specify a full House vote' without a bipartisan agreement (VOTE) the impeachment is nothing but a personal vendetta ...a soft coup if you will. If you really believe Trump needs to be impeached because of the transcript President Trump declassified, please point to your proof. Read the transcript, publish the hard evidence that rises to the level of impeachment. Hint: Your OPINION of what he said does not count just as the 'whistleblower' and lying Schiff's OPINIONS do not count.
P.S. "co-ordinarily" is a meaningless term. Like this impeachment....wholly meaningless except for propaganda purposes and a last-ditch effort to save the Democrat party from its ultimate demise in 2020.
An impeachment inquiry is used to gather evidence. Without an inquiry, how can evidence be discovered?
Once the evidence is amassed, articles of impeachment will be drafted and submitted to the full House for a vote. If the articles are approved in the House, Teump is impeached.
Then the Senate holds a trial, presided by Chief Justice Roberts. Trump will be defended by legal counsel. If convicted, Teump will be forced from office.
And all that is spelled out in that pesky constitution thingy you allegedly read and understand.
