"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."

According to an interview I heard a while back (can't think of the guy's name and too lazy to go find it again) the real root here was that Putin had made life uncomfortable for Ukrainian mobsters, who concocted a scheme to discredit (and hopefully depose) Putin so business could go on as before. All the hoorah that devolved onto Trump was, from their POV, mere collateral damage; and Biden was just a convenient access point for leverage against Russia.
I don't know how true that is, but the guy had names and dates and made a convincing argument, and it all dovetails neatly into Diana West's information (The Red Thread).
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
