Pelosi rejects request to suspend Impeachment Inquiry, Insists no vote needed

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) that she would not suspend the impeachment inquiry into Republican President Donald Trump.
McCarthy sent a letter on Oct. 3 to Pelosi asking her to suspend the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump until she puts into place “transparent and equitable rules and procedures.”
He said there was a slew of issues with the inquiry, including the lack of a vote on whether to launch it. Pelosi announced the inquiry on Sept. 24.
In a letter responding to McCarthy (pdf), Pelosi said that there is no need for a vote to launch an impeachment inquiry.
“The existing rules of the House provide House Committees with full authority to conduct investigations for all matters under their jurisdiction, including impeachment investigations,” she wrote.
“There is no requirement under the Constitution, under House rules, or House precedent that the whole House vote before proceeding with an impeachment inquiry.”

Pelosi and her gang of idiots are a constant reminder that elections do indeed have consequences.

She's right. This is nothing but a congressional investigation with a press conference and a fancy name. It is not an impeachment inquiry.

Now McCarthy needs to send her another letter: "Republicans will not be able to attend the sham show, Signed, Epstein's Mother."
Then have no Republicans show up to any of the so-called "hearings" whatsoever thus further eroding any remaining appearance of validity.

Then ignore the democrats and every request for docs or testimony.
Simply ignore them.
Simply ignore them.

There’s still no such thing as an official “Impeachment Inquiry,” right?

Until the entire House votes on this, Trump can tell Schiff-for-brains to go pound sand, and provide his committee with absolutely nothing.

Good. So no real substantive subpoena power. Nancy and the filthy whore cabal of traitor scum dem demons can frick right the frick off.
God they are STUPID.

No reason for anyone at all to reply to any of their requests, because they don't have authorization to issue subpoenas without having a house vote for an official impeachment inquiry, but they won't do that because the repubs would then be allowed some power in the inquiry

She's right. But she should still strive to be equitable.

Pelosi said the other day they would make this and other issues happen.
She lied like a rug to appease the moderate voters; wanting to appear as if they are doing something, what a shocker
Trump endorsed McCarthy on twitter as the next Speaker.

I like either McCarthy or Jordan as the next speaker after the 2020 election.

She made up the term impeachment 'inquiry,' therefore it is unconstitutional. There is no inquiry, if there is a crime you file and do it, not accuse a President in secret with no defense with lawfare bloggers we are paying for.
She isn't taking a vote because there is no charges. Ask honest Bob. And she isn't doing this to appease AOC. She is doing this to try to stop the exposure of democrat crimes.

There is also no rule requiring the Executive Branch to participate in your dress rehearsal impeachment either, Stretch.

It is McCarthy's turn, he is one of the young guns. He may be a suck up brown noser and then be Paul Ryan. But he is better than Pelosi.

Thats nice Grandma.
There is no requirement in the Constitution that prevents the POTUS from doing whatever he deems necessary to protect the border from a invasion of illegal, criminal aliens either.
I guess she's good with that??
