"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 is it so inconceivable that some people actually want at least in inquiry into it, just to be sure?

    As you have stated your position above, there is nothing wrong with your reasoning. Clear, lucid, rational, I like it. Where the problem comes in, is in the cast of characters playing in this drama charade. Few of those actors are any more reputable than Trump himself. Start with that old hag, Pelosi, who only voted for a national increase in minimum wage, if she were guaranteed that her husband's employees in American Samoa were exempted from any such increase.

    Given a world in which most of our elected officials were clean, I think that I could agree with you. But, in our real world? Those who aren't dirty are trying very hard to get dirty, and this impeachment attempt is just so much smoke and mirrors, to keep us distracted.
