Where’s the formal vote to start the inquiry? Until then, it’s all theater.

As President Trump’s impeachment fight with House Democrats continues to escalate, former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said on Thursday that the proceedings will turn into a TV sideshow geared towards ratings.
“It’s not an actual complaint,” he said during an interview with “Fox & Friends.” “And this goes to my point, which is that this is not an impeachment inquiry. It’s an impeachment show for television.”
McCarthy claimed the fight has nothing to do with the rule of law and is actually a political dispute. He also said the whistleblower complaint looks to have been written by legal minds and might have been shaped by others before it was officially released.
“I don’t think this is actually about law-breaking. I think this is a political dispute,” he said. “And if it’s a political dispute — that is if it’s just about abuse of power and it’s not about a violation of the federal penal code — then the politics are what matters.”
