"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."

Key word "appears" because that's how it has been spread out by the media (or some portion of the media) support a narrative.
Whether it's true or not, less than a handful of people will really ever know. Where you in a meeting with Trump when questionable things went down? No. Neither was I.
Presuming we the peons have all the facts in front of our eyes is ludicrous.
It will play out in spite of the facts. You should be suspicious of the the outcome no matter which way it goes.

And you should be ashamed for being such a credulous idiot.

1) Donald J. Trump released a Call Memo. Said call memo, combined with the military aid holdup, all by itself proves what Whistleblower has alleged. Trump gave us the rope.
2) The people who were listening in on that call are now testifying about what exactly was said, going beyond the call memo into things not there. If there are witnesses who will say things like "Burisma wasn't actually named", the President will indeed have the opportunity to bring such witnesses forward.
3) The people who surround the time of this call are testifying. The President said, "this ain't a quid pro quo," when all the true experts very much acknowledge this was indeed a quid pro quo and it can't be spun differently.
4) Nobody is stupid enough to not know the Bidens are Trump's chief political opponent. This was political persecution of Republican versus Democrat using foreign relations to attempt to gain political (and NOT National Security) intelligence.
These are all Facts, at this point. No Republican, from Trump through the Senate through the House are disputing the facts because they are indisputable. Instead they rely on distractions to try and keep their faithful in line.
We will indeed know the truth in this matter. There are too many people to testify, and such testimony is now becoming open. While the Trump administration tries it's best to do damage control on a plainly visible plane crash.
You do not have to be suspicious when both the prosecution has alleged and the defense has confirmed all the truly meaingful facts. You can only try to distract and mislead.
This sig for rent.
