Possibly some smoke in the Democratic impeachment teepee

[Breitbart] Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) said Tuesday that he will likely vote against a resolution by House Democrats to formalize their secret impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, prompting more uncertainly around whether Thursday’s expected vote will go on as planned.

Asked by NBC News reporter Alex Moe if he supports the measure, Van Drew replied: "I would imagine that I’m not voting for it." Van Drew, whose district President Trump won in 2016, is among roughly a dozen House Democrats who oppose the impeachment inquiry. "I have long maintained the position that the impeachment or potential impeachment would not be good for Democrats or Republicans," the lawmaker told Fox News in September.

The House announced Monday that it will move Thursday to determine whether to establish impeachment inquiry procedures into President Trump. The text of the resolution was not immediately released, but House Rule Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (D-MA) said it would "provide a clear path forward" on the impeachment inquiry.

However, even before Van Drew’s comments, House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) had already poured some cold water on plans to vote for the measure Thursday, telling reporters on Capitol Hill: "We’re going to have to consider whether or not it’s ready to go on Thursday. I hope that’s the case."

#1 Whether it passes or fails, what effect will it have on the Kangaroos?

#2 If it fails then it totally delegitimizes everything that Schifferbrains is doing.

The fact the majority whip doesn't want to vote on Thursday means he's afraid it will fail and he wants more time to put pressure on wobbly purple district representatives.

#3 BTW, Mr. Hoyer looks awfully sad, old and tired in this picture.

#4 The way I understand it Pelosi calling for a vote means that all of the Democrats in the primary campaign (except Biden and Budageg) have to stop campaigning and return to vote or else explain to the zealots why they didn't vote for impeachment.

Basically she kneecapped them and gave Biden a leg up.

#5 Rjw. No. The senators will not need to do anything unless the house votes for impeachment
