"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 haven't been modbombing you (and would be a modbombing Independent anyway...) but might I make a suggestion?
Git gud, scrub. By this I mean produce evidence, facts, and legal precedent to support your claims.

Looks like I'll have to come back for days to correct troll mods.
I say this as non-trump voting left of centerish independent: anyone who thinks this impeachment is not partisan bullshit has been wallowing in the bullshit so long, they can't smell the stink. If it works, this will probably be the time when historians look back at the ashes of America, and point to it as when the divisions became so deep and intractable that civil war was inevitable. Republicans are not actual nazis and Democrats are not actual communists. There are however, authoritarian assholes in both parties and it seems that Dems and Repubs are drawing up battle lines.

I agree, this is a watershed event -- because if this impeachment circus goes as the Dems hope -- henceforth NO president, of any party and however innocent, will be safe in office -- the opposition will find or invent whatever is required to take him down.
So, consider carefully: do you want our government to devolve into an ongoing series of coups? Because that's what this is going to produce.
[And mark my words: if they do manage to eject Trump, Pence's remaining life will be short.]
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.

In your world, what crime could the President ever be impeached for? Blowjobs, yes. Involving foreign governments in our elections, no.

Well now, as it is now moving into the public arena, we shall see shan't we?
My prediction: The evidence will be overwhelmingly bad, but the senate will give him a pass to stay elected, Moscow Mitch has insinuated as much.
After that it will indeed become a very interesting time.

If the senate and the public is shown evidence confirming the witness testimony, they will convict. So far, all we are seeing is hysterics. Who ever thought that Chinese Whispers would become evidentiary? It's truly fascinating, could become terrifying...

Only a corrupt system would admit hearsay as evidence. You have none so far. If you do have some, I will believe it when I see it.

Yeah. Believe that as you like. Or read the truth. [nytimes.com] And with the other facts, as NYT and any number of other sources will prove, you might understand the answer that the President has proven, and has publicly stated, he is fine with allowing foreign powers to bring him dirt on his political opponents.
Or..... where is the President's OTHER calls to other nations with corruption issues asking for investigations of specifically named individuals that have absolutely no political benefit to Mr. Trump. Yeah. He was asked that question and he'll get back to us on that one. Probably about the same time he freely releases his tax returns.

Heck, last election foreigners were not allowed to buy campaign hats from either side because foreign donations to election campaigns are also illegal.
