"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."

    well no shit. just like newt grinch and his toadies felt about Slick Willy from their day one. And THAT process was begun on even lesser actual evidence, because the R's at the time could really not believe all the other investigations into Whitewater had found no wrong doing up to then. Starr had even said as much. then before things were closed up, breaking news! The Bill was banging a young staffer on the sly? And he Lied To Congress about it? IMPEACH HIM!

    It's a matter of trust. You lie under oath, you can no longer be trusted. He could have taken the 5th and his refusal to answer, by itself, cannot bye used to draw an inference, as a matter of law.
