These Congressional Democrats are making me very angry.
Now they're walking back their "impeachment inquiry" vote that they said they were going to hold on Thursday.
One of the things Pelosi said her vote would do is grant due process rights to the President and his Counsel. Looks like they've realized that's not a very good idea.

House Democratic leaders are walking back a planned vote Thursday that would officially endorse impeachment proceedings and say that the resolution would merely address the process of holding public hearings on the matter.
“This is not an impeachment resolution,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters Tuesday morning. “I don’t know what an impeachment resolution is.”
“I don’t know what an impeachment resolution is.”

I think they don't have enough votes to pass the resolution. Hoyer is the majority whip, and he would be the first guy to know this.

The way it read to me was that they were holding a vote to make clear what the impeachment proceedings were. But then there was that part about the vote establish due process to the president and his counsel. That's the part I think they want no part of.
They cannot allow the Republicans a chance to call witnesses. Or defend themselves at all really. Because it's game over if they do. Surely they know that.
They are playing some game here and I'm not sure what it is. I guess they're just trying to continue as they have been. The illusion of impeachment while being able to question in secret and leak selectively.
Ultimately I think they're hoping they can frame Trump up on something that will gain wide support from Republicans and the public alike. They'd need some sort of disaster they can pin on Trump, IMO.
Eh, either way, they are COWARDS. Just do it, Nancy! Hold a vote. Coward.

Am I behind?
I'm just now finding out that the guy who listened in on the phone conversation is named Vindman. He emigrated to the U.S. from Ukraine/Soviet Union as a child, went to Harvard (who doesn't...right?), then went into our military, got a Purple Heart for serving in Iraq, then goes to work for intelligence and lands as a staffer in the White House.
Have I got that right?
