"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."

For now, the partisan whistleblower at the center of this is refusing to testify. Another nothingburger.

For now, every single thing we know the whistleblower would have testified to has been released into the public, so there is no need for the whistleblower's testimony any longer.
This sig for rent.

And the coup de gras is that it now appears that the whistle blower is willing to answer written questions from Republicans. [cnn.com] I just love watching mendacious politicians getting hoisted on their own petard; it fills me with glee. Any bets on what Republicans' next move will be?
