IMPEACHMENT OR BUST
VOTE BY HOUSE REQUIRED TO HAVE REAL INQUIRY
The Democrats have been promising impeachment, ever since Nov. 8, 2016. There have been many who swore that impeachment would come even before Trump took the oath of office. Many ran for office in 2018 promising to work to impeach the president.They are now into it and they can not back down.
Failure to continue to a formal impeachment process will dishearten their base and be as good as an acquittal of any charges now and in the future.
Republicans and the administration may very well refuse to cooperate with this process because there has not been a vote of the House of Representatives to begin a formal impeachment inquiry. It is expected that the white house is drafting a letter to House Speaker Pelosi informing her that they will only cooperate in the inquiry if it is a voted a formal inquiry, rather than an endless investigation.
The Democrats may not want to go to a formal impeachment inquiry because it will allow the republicans an equal ability to subpoena witnesses. Many of the Democrats may not want some of these people to be forced to testify under oath.
What seems to be really going on is an action to distract from the investigations going on about the Russian collusion accusations in the 2016 election.
What Trump has been doing is making requests and introductions to the leaders of Italy, UK, Australia, Ukraine and possibly Russia to introduce to them that they are being asked to cooperate with Attorney General Barr. Such introductions are necessary to assure foreign leaders that they are cooperating with the approval of the U.S. government. Many of these communications have been going on for many months.
The Democrats and those who may be under investigation in the State department, Justice Department, CIA and FBI are hoping to squash any such investigations by labeling them as campaign activities.
Both William Barr and Special Counsel John Durham have already traveled to the UK and Italy on several occasions.
Some of the Justice Department Inspector General's investigations are complete, they are to be released soon. The Inspector general cannot issue subpoena's or indict. All this information will be handed over to the Attorney general and the Special Council Durham, they can call grand juries and indict.
Trump's open requests to both Ukraine and China have not only outraged many about asking for political help in an election, it has also focused a light on Biden family dealings that are questionable.
While the Ukraine dealings smack of nepotism and extortion of a foreign government, the allegations concerning China are possibly much worse.
The sum of the Chinese affair is that the Chinese government placed 1.5 Billion in a Hunter Biden Company to invest in other than Chinese companies. These investment were in effect for the Chinese government. One of these companies made equipment and technology for sensitive defense equipment. Some of this technology was transferred to the Chinese government. This Biden Investment co., also invested in mining operations in Africa that provided strategic defense minerals to China. It is not revealed if Hunter Biden ever registered as a foreign Agent or if these transactions were approved by the Obama Administration.
It most likely will not be in the China's interest to reveal anything about this, but the U.S. Senate has been looking into this.
One thing for sure, a formal impeachment inquiry will require that all house members vote on this matter. If it does go to the Senate all those members will need to vote, both democrats and republicans. After these votes, they better be sure that nothing is going to come out later that will make such votes look as a political rush to judgement.

No one really knows what is going to come of all this, we may know by the end of this year.
