But the majority of the Judiciary Committee voted yesterday to pursue an impeachment investigation. That is more than enough for this to be an impeachment investigation since vote by the Committee or the full House is not necessary to initiate an impeachment investigation. The chair can undertake an investigation on his or her own prerogative without any vote at all. In fact, previous impeachment have occurred based on investigations taken up in the Judiciary Committee at the direction of the chairman without a vote.
But, speaking of "contradictory" if "majority votes" were really the only way in which Congress speaks, why do you care what Nancy Pelosi says or doesn't say in interviews since what she says in interviews isn't a House majority vote?
