[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vote in an official impeachment inquiry so the rules kick in and these things won't happen. [/quote]

No vote is required. Nancy already announced the beginning of impeachment inquiry om 9/24: https://www.c-span.org/video/?464684-1/speaker-pelosi-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-president-trump

The is no law and nothing in the Constitution that requires a vote. We are in the midst of the inquiry.[/quote]

A formal inquiry does indeed require a vote.[/quote]

The Constitution does not require that.

This is a formal inquiry.  We'll get public hearings soon, and then we'll hear all the horrible details. [/quote]

It is tradition. Not voting means that the Dems have something to hide.[/quote]
They couldn't hide anything even if they wanted.  First, all the information is in the Executive Branch.  Trump could release any documents that.would exonerate him ( as he did with the "perfect" transcript).  He could also schedule a press conference with any witness who could.help him.  If there were any, we'd know by now.

Second, all the hearings have Republicans in the room.  They know what was said so they already have any testimony that might help Trump's case.  They can leak such information at any time (A Congressperson can't be prosecuted for anything they say in the House chamber).

Third, the Senate trial will be 100% in public.  The Democrats will have to show the transcript or call the witnesses in.  They will be cross-examined in public by Trump's lawyers.  Any information that wouod help Trump will come out.

Fourth, the central figure appears to be Giuliani.  He was the message bearer, the one with direct.access to Trump. He could clear it all up by answering the subpoena or relasing his own statement.  But suddenly, he has nothing to say.  What he did say before clamming up didn't help himself or Trump.
