Impeachment Failure Theater? Democrats Wonder What Nancy Pelosi's Rhetoric Actually Accomplished

If there's no vote, then there's no impeachment inquiry. You can't even say that this strengthens Jerry Nadler's hand because he is also running a fake impeachment inquiry.

Congress has great power -- Congressmen, very little. Congress can pass laws; individual congressmen can only vote for passage or against it. Without the imprimatur of the whole of Congress, an individual Congressman's opinion about a law is worthless.

When Congress takes a vote and decides something as a collective entity, it matters. When this dipshit or that twat just says something at a press conference, that has no more weight than an everyday citizen popping off.

Have been asking every Dem lawmaker what this latest announcement signifies or what 'impeachment inquiry' means precisely

None have consistent answers on what actions will be taken next-- other than the fact that Pelosi has now relinquished her objections to impeachment

Desiderio adds that it is not just inconsistency in the responses, but there are Dem lawmakers that are openly wondering what, if anything, has changed other than rhetoric https://t.co/OnNKk3ZKLa
