"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."

But what they NEVER do is allow the lawyers for the soon-to-be defendant in the grand jury proceedings. The defendant doesn't get to introduce witnesses, ask questions or take part in the grand jury in any way at all.
There are absolutely no rules regarding impeachment stated in the Constitution. The House makes the rules - period. No requirement of due process or "fairness". If the Republicans didn't want Trump impeached, they should have thought about that when they went over the cliff with him in the 2018 elections and lost control of the House.
And right now - today - there is so much evidence against Trump that the big problem is knowing where to start. From emoluments to bribery to extortion to obstruction to abuse of power, Trump has put it all on the line, thinking he was John Fucking Gotti and could never be touched. So now he's out of moves and can only cry about it to his faithful followers.
You are still welcome on my lawn.

You should know better than to challenge me on facts. Consider this a lesson.

Please provide actual evidence as I am genuinely interested in it. First link is 450 pages of irrelevant bs and I assume other two links are of similar quality, especially since one of them has BUZZFEED in the name. If these links indeed contain compelling evidence please let us know which pages to look at. Thank you.
