The appropriate investigative House committees investigate, then the House votes whether or not to impeach - based on the results of the committees' investigation. That's how the inquiry works.

Thank you for that but I know how that works.

I'm saying that the way Schiff is handling it is a publicity stunt.

It may be a publicity stunt but it is being done with the participation of both parties. it is being done in secret because some of the topics discussed are not for public discussion, at least not yet. That might make you uncomfortable, but there is precedence for committees from Congress holding secret meetings going back at least to the 40s.
What matt gaetz attempted to do was not only a publicity stunt, but also complete disrespect for precedent and rules. He is not on one of the three committees, therefore he is not yet on a "need to know" basis for the facts being discussed.
