"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, then you can blame the Republicans in the last congress. They passed the rules that are currently being followed. For some insight here is an interview with the one person who has been present in all three modern impeachments.

The GOP is just pissed their member got to be the first to test the new rules. Plus they have been part and parcel to the proceeding since the beginning. Including many in their smokescreen fake protest who could just walk through the doors as they had access all along. I say fake protest because they are protesting the Democrats following the procedures they put in place to make sure they could fuck with a D president. Just like the Dems voting in favor of using the nuclear option so long ago, it came back to bite them in the ass, hard. Because eventually the other side always gets to play on the playground. They write rules to give themselves more power, then shit themselves when the other team gets a chance at bat.
Perhaps the GOP should not of run a known grifter as a candidate?
Anyway, this is an investigation. Investigations are not done publicly anyway. It is NOT a trial, that is the Senates job.
