Ignore the hype — this is not an impeachment inquiry

 The House of Representatives is not conducting a formal impeachment inquiry.

The House has not voted as a body to authorize an impeachment inquiry.

The Democrats, of course, hope you don't notice that the House is not conducting a formal impeachment inquiry.

Democrats want to have an impeachment show - um, inquiry - on television; they do not want to defend its bona fides in court.

They are issuing partisan letters that pose legally offensive threats, rather than subpoenas, because this is a show, not an impeachment inquiry.

Congress is given wider latitude to probe in a real impeachment inquiry.

They are reflective, instead, of partisan House leadership that realizes it does not have impeachable offenses - so much so that Pelosi & Co. fear the wrath of voters if Democrats in districts friendly to are put to the test of voting to authorize a formal impeachment inquiry.
