                It's only recently that McCarthy said th e GOP would start impeachment inquiry through a vote in the House floor rather than through proclamation.

                Has there been a vote on the House floor yet on this matter?

                    Let’s see now.

                    Just over a year until next election.

                    Impeachment inquiry into incumbent POTUS seeking re-election appears to be in line with the current political atmosphere affecting not only the US but other countries as well. Sounds about right.

                    I’d sure like a back bench revolt in this country about now. Not likely as we’re not nearly as politically mature as the UK parliament in this regard.

                      My prediction is that this will delay and delay until after the election. That way, they can keep it in the front of the news without having to actually release any findings.

                        Very possible as it opens all kinds of opportunity for even more muck raking and malign innuendo.

                        Why let any pent up bile go to waste? It would be bad manners.

                          Remember all 6 Benghazi investigations in Congress? I think that’s along the lines of what we’re seeing here.

                          Content-wise it will more or less be a repeat of the last congressional investigation.

                            https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/12/media/white-house-letter-news-executives/index.html

                            The White House plans to send a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime.

                            “It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies,” Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office, wrote in the letter, according to a draft copy obtained by CNN.

                            The letter, which said an impeachment inquiry with no supporting evidence should “set off alarm bells for news organizations,” will be sent to executives helming the nation’s largest news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Fox News, the Associated Press, CBS News, and others, a White House official familiar with the matter said.

                                Apparently the dem strategy will be to deny that evidence exists.

                                We have all seen mountains of evidence, just on Tucker Carlson's show alone.

                                I think there is a good chance the dems can make the evidence go away, just by denial.
