Md., told Fox News flatly on Tuesday that “this is not an impeachment
resolution.”
啊!? 这就是畏首畏脚,不敢 正式弹劾,只好打个 擦边球,让红州的议员有 借口,

House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a resolution to formalize their
impeachment inquiry and adopt rules to govern the proceedings, following
sustained complaints by congressional Republicans and the White House that
the inquiry hasn't followed past precedent and violates the president's due
process rights.
But, illustrating the balancing act involved as the 2020 election cycle gets
started, Democrats have adamantly denied that the document is an "
impeachment resolution," perhaps out of concern for how that label would
play in more moderate swing districts.
The resolution directs the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, Financial
Services, Judiciary, and Ways and Means Committees to "continue their
ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives
inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of
Representatives to exercise its constitutional power to impeach Donald John
Trump."
Republicans, however, have countered that there is no existing impeachment
inquiry because the House has not voted to open one -- and the new
resolution does not explicitly open the probe, either. |
