(42,770 posts)about a formal vote to authorize the inquiry. All we have now are public statements and Pelosi saying it is official.
-45 is pushing for a vote but no one knows what his crazy motives might be. Some guess it's because they are hoping that this resolution would include subpoena power for the GOP. (Although doesn't have to). I think it's possible that he knows if he asks Pelosi to hold a vote she won't. Hard to imagine all Rep reps wanting to commit with a NO.
If a resolution does include GOP subpoena power, then who knows if -45 would agree to turn over docs or release people to speak. (i.e. the trade). Hard to imagine he would.
Basically we are stalling on this I guess. BTW, Claire McCaskell just said in MSNBC that she doesn't know why Nancy saying no on a vote.
