Republicans contend Pelosi didn't follow proper procedure because the House hadn't vote to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry, as it had in the past. Democrats — and a federal judge — said that's not accurate.
"Even in cases of presidential impeachment, a House resolution has never, in fact, been required to begin an impeachment inquiry," Washington, D.C., federal courtwith the inquiry. Republican leadership has complained that witnesses were being questioned behind closed doors, and that the president was being deprived of"due process."
Democrats said the questioning was being done in private in an effort to stop witnesses from tailoring their testimony to fit others' accounts. Legal experts have compared the House's role in the process as a grand jury, and noted if the House votes on articles of impeachment, the Senate will have a trial on the charges where the president is entitled to a full defense.
Morning_Joe ByronYork “Resolution also gives Schiff total control over interview transcripts, past and future. Says Schiff *can* release transcripts, not that he *must* release transcripts”.
so now they are starting to follow the rules. pathetic.
Morning_Joe None of this matters Donny will prevail and get re-elected
Morning_Joe Walk out of this sham process! What a joke Dems!
Morning_Joe They will drag this out for months going no where in Senate as they (DEM CONGRESS) do nothing for the American people and Country (only for their self denial hateful satisfaction). Americans know this and Dems will suffer at the polls 2020. BASE GROWS.....WE WILL VOTE!
Morning_Joe Say hello to Speaker McCarthy next election.
Morning_Joe Impeachment Sham should go well as Horowitz reports in days. Let’s see shifty crooked beyond belief Shiff open his mouth after the IG report.
Morning_Joe The GOP needs to cut & run as far from Comrade Trump & as soon as possible to set up their defense for 2024. You know its bad when the 'Mouch' actually makes sense. I agree with the Mouch, forget 2020. IMPEACH as fast as possible to stack up Pence as the Lamb led to the Slaughter

Morning_Joe Doesn't matter who Whistleblower is? If it's JoeBiden's & JohnBrennan's Ciaramella, it sure does! God, Joe. Look at you! You've just about gone full Keith Olberman!!
A vote on how to proceed, how meaningless. As much as they try to convince themselves with bs polls, this is not working in the Democrats favor.
Let’s get this show on the road America! Let’s take impeachment slow and start from the top! Leave no stone unturned. Teach us and make it digestible to the general population!
Morning_Joe Speaker Kevin McCarthy
The good news is that the process of IMPEACHMENT has begun.
They started impeachment they day he beat Hillary. This is all political theater prompted by contempt for conservatives and the fact they don't have anyone besides socialist to run in 2020. DesperateDemocrats
Disgraceful.
Morning_Joe Listening to MoscowMitch speak about DueProcess in the House is ridiculous. The senatemajldr has singlehandedly stalled over 250 bills in the Senate without offering any process or action. CountryOverParty
The Republicans asked for a voice vote so Democrats can’t hide behind an electronic vote. Stand up so we can hear you.
Time to impeach and remove that corrupt grifter
After this latest nonsense the last few Democrat friends I had have now switched and are voting Republican
kigogo2014 It's like Wooow what's the..... (..)
They haven’t conducted this in a way to win, so they won’t win. Just wasting more time and money, fighting America’s great progress.
Morning_Joe Looking forward to this vote. Should be telling. Republicans have been wanting public hearings... but will they vote for them? I bet not.
Morning_Joe This should make the Republicans who have been screaming for a vote on impeachment super happy. SO MUCH WINNING!!! 😁
America don't allow yourself to practice African politics, the world is watching.
Get this over already so the senate can flush it down the toilet
*Democrats set to vote to continue as they are. No subpoena power for republicans No council for the president present Secret committee hearings Same old unfair, partisan witchhunt And on halloween no less.
This is a blunder. Everyone sees it for what it is.
That vote by the House will put Donald Trump and the Criminal, Mafia Type Organization that he is running. Which is called the Presidency in a CONFINES. He won't have anymore excuses.
Thus ensuring Trump’s re-election.
They screamed for open hearings. Now watch the whiny little republicans vote no. 😂😂
