"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.

This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.

The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.

Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

    I listened to the Johnson declassified tapes a few times... they drop some new ones now and then.

    Nixon actually traveled abroad and made a deal with the ENEMY (Vietnam) to not make any deals with Johnson who was beginning to negotiate a deal with them. Johnson was aware of Nixon's TREASON but you can hear it in his own words on the tape. Dig it up. He didn't like the political mess it would create in doing so. Obviously, they were spying on Nixon... because the enemy was being spied on along with ANYBODY who did business with them! That is something you must to if you are going to find any traitors or spies...

    During Obama they were watching Russian agents who ended up dealing with some Trump people so obviously they ended up aware of such interactions. Hell, Trump can be clean but you sure as hell want to know what some employee is doing with the enemy agent! you don't stop recording when the traitor turns out to be somebody important; that makes it possibly an even more important case! This is really basic stuff; it's nothing like the patriot act BS expanding into listening to all our phone calls.
