If the Democratic House leader takes the attitude of. "Let's move on for the good of the country" or "Impeachment is off the table" we are screwed.

The House Ethics Committee is split evenly between both parties, with 5 members from each party.

I was unable to find the actual vote, but a similar report suggest that they do not publish the actual vote or how the members voted

We'll likely never know if it was a 6-4 to clear, 10-0 to clear or something in between.
