A judge recently ruled in favor of FOIA requests from the private Center for Public Integrity, and the public can no see more e-mails pertaining to the Ukraine scandal than even the House Intelligence committee was able to get during their earlier hearings.
These e-mails show:
*Hold on Ukraine funds came from POTUS
*Hold was placed immediately after July 25 2019 phone call
*NSA officials told OMB that OMB was breaking the law (the Impoundment Control Act) unless one of them gave an explanation to Congress.  Neither did.  Note - the hold was illegal, even if it wasn't part of a bribery/partisan influencing scheme.

So is there going to be impeachment V2.0?

Face it.  Your girl Pelosi was forced by the far left of your party to move with the impeachment process because it was "an emergency" and "extremely urgent", yet she sits on the weak partisan articles that they came up with.  The vote in the house was such a "solemn" and "regretful"  occasion that your girl had to wear funeral black and hush the far left in your party from cheering as the vote count was announced.

The bottom line is this whole "impeachment" process has been nothing more than a political move rather than a legal move.  I think most reasonable people can see that.

1) Pelosi is not my girl. I disagree with her about many topics but not this one. Let's try to stay on this topic. Pelosi may have been pressured into the making some decisions for dumb reasons, nonetheless a person can make the right decision for the wrong reasons.

2) impeachment is always a political process. If it were meant to be a legal process, they would have used judges and juries.

3) Yes, the House can pass different versions of impeachment articles as many times as they see fit.  The vice president and the members of the cabinet are also subject to impeachment ad infinitum. I see that some Republican senators are foolishly saying that they only have to respond to what is in the articles. Nancy can pass more articles.
