Why do republicans want a vote right away? Before there are any interviews with witnesses? I want to hear what people have to say.

Yeah, isn't it GOOD to investigate, dear party of 10 Benghazi investigations?

Since they haven't, they can make up rules to make it difficult for Republicans to have equal representation and participation.

House Republicans are demanding an “equal playing field” in the Democrat-led impeachment probe against President Trump after Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said ahead of Thursday’s scheduled testimony from former U.S. envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker that GOP members of the Foreign Affairs Committee will not be permitted to ask questions or have equal representation during the hearing.

The lead Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee wrote Wednesday evening: “I was alarmed to learn – less than 24 hours before the first interview is scheduled to start – that it will be led by the Intelligence Committee and that questioning will be done solely by their staff.”

“We were told that only a single Republican professional staffer from the Foreign Affairs Committee will be allowed to attend while the majority will have two,” Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, the committee’s ranking member, continued. “These constraints on committee and Republican participation are unacceptable and at odds with House Rules and general fairness. We demand equal representation and participation in this inquiry, there is too much at stake for America and Congress.”

“Official impeachment inquiries are initiated by the adoption of a House resolution empowering or creating a committee or task force to undertake such activities,” McCaul continued. “In both the Nixon and Clinton cases, the Judiciary Committee debated and reported a resolution authorizing the Judiciary Committee to investigate whether there were sufficient grounds to impeach the President, which was then debated and voted on by the full House of Representatives. There have been no such debates or votes in this Congress.”

I love it when Republicans cry about process issues. It means they can’t rebut the underlying major crimes and accusations.

The pigs are sweating.

WTH are you talking about?
So, you have no problem with Republicans being prevented from questioning any "witnesses?"

Why bother. When Republicans take part in these hearings, they don't ask questions. They just pull a Nunez and give a soliloquy that includes the latest right-wing conspiracy theories.

Lots of sweat and shouting and irrelevant questions. The Republican questions are so daffy and off topic that they may as well be supplied by that Bad Lip Reading guy.

I happen to support Trump and I agree there should be a vote. The fact that Nancy has not taken one indicates that she wants her caucus to control all investigations and shut out the Republicans.
Hence, the deposition today.

She also is giving cover to the red state Dems elected in 2018. She doesn't want them to have to go on record.

She is essentially riding the fence - giving in to her rabid left wing members yet not exposing her moderates to scrutiny.
