WASHINGTON—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is directing an impeachment inquiry into President Trump following reports that the president withheld aid to Ukraine while he was pressing the country to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son.
“Today, I’m announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry,” Mrs. Pelosi said in the Capitol, in front of several American flags. “The action taken to date by the president appears to violate the constitution.”...

What does an official inquiry mean?
Honest answers please because I’m not a constitutional scholar. Or even close.
Is there ANYTHING real here?
“What does an official inquiry mean?”
That they can still back out, if the “narrative” they are trying to sell falls flat.
Nancy and the Democrats couldn’t care less about the Constitution—it was written by dead white slaveholder men.
These absolute scum would try to convict someone they know is totally innocent. Just about as sorry as it gets.
Oooohhhhhh.....
An Impeachment Inquiry.
Was she face down on the floor kicking her feet?
OK so it DOESNT mean a definite vote.
Or a conclusion.
A prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.
Of course it is “real”.
The House can vote to impeach Trump for eating a ham sandwich.
“Is there ANYTHING real here?”
It’s real if you have the votes. I think she does. Trump will be impeached which is what I have been saying for over a year.
Not much, if you look at the Constitutional requirements for impeachment.
These people are hoping that real Americans are as stupid as their voters.
If we had an actual free press, some reporter would have asked her to name even one action.
I’m no authority but I don’t think anything today is any different on this fiasco than yesterday.
Pelosi and the Democrats last mistake. The angel of death is coming.
She didn’t “pull the trigger.” She’s using the same nonsense rhetoric that Nadler is. Nothing changed. The House as a whole has to vote to initiate an impeachment investigation. “Impeachment inquiry” has no legal meaning, see “collusion.”
They took the bait.
The problem with indicting a ham sandwich is that the judge looks at you funny for asking him to convict it.
These people are seriously out to lunch.
Trump hasn’t done something even close to justifying impeachment.
What is going to happen, is that more and more democRats are going to see the party for the insane fools they are, and jump ship.
Rush was playing some comments by someone in the know in Minnesota. Evidently there’s a big drift from the demoncRats to the Republicans (well Trump support anyway) up there.
Now more of this stuff.
Folks have had it.
The Democrats are pathological liars and cheaters who could care less about the Constitution, the facts, or the deplorables.
Who are we kidding here?
They will impeach Trump if they feel like it, and won’t if they don’t feel like it.
The Constitution is irrelevant.
Any “facts” are irrelevant.
