Impeachment hearings are not the same as an "inquiry" (a made up term the democrats use)
Six of that a half dozen of the other.
An inquiry requires hearings.
The filings of Articles of Impeachment begin a "Trial" where evidence is weighed.
so you only follow the rules when convenient?
tlb
(G)In this paragraph, the term “urgent concern” means any of the following:
but does not include differences of opinions concerning public policy matters.
or operation of an intelligence activity.
(6)In accordance with section 535 of title 28, the Inspector General shall expeditiously report to the Attorney General any information, allegation, or complaint received by the Inspector General relating to violations of Federal criminal law that involves [1] a program or operation of an element of the intelligence community, or in the relationships between the elements of the intelligence community, consistent with such guidelines as may be issued by the Attorney General pursuant to subsection (b)(2) of such section. A copy of each such report shall be furnished to the Director.
The examiner is trash reporting.
This statement is not by the either person on the call. It is by the Ukrainian Foreign Minister.

Extorting foreign nations under threat of withholding military aid in exchange for help with a campaign is not "Diplomacy"
In your opinion, too bad the Ukrainians state that was not the case.
It appears all you are looking for is another way to smear the president.
Another meandering investigation into something which was not a crime.
There is nothing but air and opportunity stopping the house dems from taking a floor vote as they have the majority.
Why in the face of such "overwhelming" evidence(lol) have they not?
Perhaps because even they understand there are no "high crimes and misdemeanors" to warrant such?

personal fixer? you forgot the "hand picked" part
I presume it was an oversight on your part.
either way, not credible is not credible.
YOU and I do not get to decide.
and you posting about fake impeachment hearings and then calling others out on being accurate?
no agenda there right?
but this handle is new, today in fact, yet though you have no crediblity yet, you speak as though you do.
makes me wonder whom you were before, if the was a before.

I suppose you missed my earlier response, but the impeachment hearings kicked off with Lewindoski last week. Here is the hearing in its entirety.
oh i missed the floor vote for such.....
could you source such please?
To be clear, there is no way for you to know if the president committed a crime or not.
What floor vote are you referencing here?
The process begins in the U.S. House of Representatives, where any member of the House may make a suggestion to launch an impeachment proceeding. It is then up to the speaker of the House, as leader of the majority party, to determine whether or not to proceed with an inquiry into the alleged wrongdoing.
If there is a decision to proceed, the speaker would decide if the House Judiciary Committee handles the impeachment inquiry, or if a separate special committee is formed.

can you quote the laws of impeachment please? (how it starts, what goes on ect)
I think you do not understand how it works.
I'm certain from your response you are clueless.
WASHINGTON—For weeks, lawmakers of both parties struggled to get answers over why the Trump administration delayed money Congress had appropriated to help Ukraine defend itself from the threat of Russian aggression.
April 25: Mr. Biden launched his presidential campaign.
April 28: Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani tweeted about investigations in Ukraine, charging that the “media blackout of the investigations in Ukraine of alleged Democrat corruption” proves there is a “double standard.”
May 9: The New York Times reported that Rudy Giuliani planned to travel to Kiev to pressure the Ukrainian government to press ahead with investigations into Joe Biden and into possible interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Mr. Giuliani subsequently canceled the trip, which he says Mr. Trump knew about.
May 16: Ukraine’s prosecutor general told Bloomberg that he had no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden or his son.
June: Mr. Giuliani met in Paris with an official from the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office to discuss a possible Biden investigation.
July 21: Ukrainians voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Zelensky’s party in parliamentary elections, cementing the political newcomer’s power.
July 25: Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelensky spoke by phone. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Mr. Trump urged Mr. Zelensky about eight times to talk to Mr. Giuliani about an investigation into Mr. Biden’s son, according to people familiar with the matter.
August: Mr. Giuliani met with Andriy Yermak, a top aide to Mr. Zelensky, in Madrid. The two also spoke by phone later in the month. Mr. Giuliani described Mr. Yermak as “very receptive” and said the aide told him Mr. Zelensky would “get to the bottom of all this.”
Late August: The Trump administration began reviewing $250 million in foreign aid to Ukraine, meant to help the country ward off Russia.
Aug. 29: Mr. Trump canceled his planned trip to Poland to deal with Hurricane Dorian. He had been scheduled to meet with Mr. Zelensky there. Mr. Yermak later called Mr. Giuliani to ask whether the president’s decision to cancel his trip was related to Mr. Zelensky; Mr. Giuliani says in an interview he assured him it wasn’t.
Sept. 12: The Trump administration released foreign aid to Ukraine.

yeah I didn't think they had started impeachment procedings.
But the "bait and switch" tactic seems to work on a few.
how funny.
"Sorry Virgina, no impeachment for you"
