Judiciary Committee votes on impeachment inquiry

Continuing this post, the House Judiciary Committee voted this morning along Party lines to "set procedures and rules for future impeachment investigation hearings." Nadler thinks the debate on whether it is an impeachment inquiry or investigation is moot, as he sees them as the same thing. The whatever it's called will investigate issues beyond the Mueller Report and increase the Committee's authority beyond it's previous bounds.

Repugs on the Committee said the resolution doesn't really go further than what they have already been doing, and that a formal impeachment requires the full vote of the House, so it's just more smoke and mirrors. Plus the Committee can subpoena all it wants but the Dumpsters will just ignore them like in the past and the Dems won't do anything about it.
