The White House plans to send House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) a letter as soon as Friday daring her to hold an impeachment vote and informing her that President Trump will not comply with any requests from the impeachment probe unless a formal vote is held, according to an Axios report confirmed by Fox News.

Pelosi announced last week that the House would launch a formal impeachment inquiry, but so far has not held a vote. House Democrats’ handling of the probe prompted a letter from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) on Thursday, in which McCarthy challenged Pelosi to come up with “transparent and equitable

Why are all this news sites using the phrase "daring her". Trump is not daring anybody. He is stating he will not comply with any requests for info until a formal vote is taken.

These propagandist news stations including FOX News are just trying to create drama when it is unnecessary.

Of course you're right-the media functions at the level of a 6th grader.

It's all emotion, snarky language, shallow and superficial logic (if any), populist sentiment that never survives past 2 days, and ‘journalists’ who don't know what end is up... I am sure none of THEM could pass a HS civics test. And what they know about history could fit on the head of a pin with enough room left over for a new Cadillac!

“he will not comply with any requests for info until a formal vote is taken”

He does not have to comply with requests, subpoenas yes, court orders yes, whining Congress critters...no.

“Liberals must be forced kicking and screaming to doing things by the book.”

I totally agree with your argument but we must quit calling these freaks liberals, they are leftists - nothing but Marxist communists.

Better dead than red.

So the ones from purple districts will be committing career suicide. And Trump gets a trial in the Senate where he gets to conduct discovery, question Deep State witnesses under oath, and declassify things to enter in evidence in his defense.

Sounds like a WIN-WIN-WIN to me.

Throw me to wolves. I’ll come back the leader of the pack.

No idle boast, just a simple statement of fact.

Think the President is having the time of his life.

As of now, he is not accepting a salary payment for his job as President.

Democrats better be careful, pretty soon President Trump may actually want to start paying the government for the privilege of letting him kick Democrat ass

I have been saying this for years-these people are anything but liberal-they are far, far leftists. They are totalitarians of the left, a la Stalin, who would act as he did if they had the power. They already get people dismissed from jobs for merely expressing lifelong held Biblical beliefs regarding homosexuality, or even secular-based disagreement with homosexual “marriage”.

The President of the United States does not have to do ANYTHING for these a-holes. I would just give them the finger and go about the People’s business. I hate to say it but what would Obama do?........Of course,he would give us the finger as he did for eight years. The GOP needs to find their guts and get on board!

Some and not others. Right now it will be an across the board refusal that challenges the basic legitimacy of the whole kangaroo court.
