Holding a vote is supposed to be the first step in an impeachment proceeding.  That triggers the process.  So basically they are telliing their base that impeachment is moving forward while it is not really moving forward.  They are providing shade to moderate Dems in the House that are in Trump leaning districts.  And they also don't want to trigger Trump's defense team that will be scorched earth.  This is all political theater and a distraction from the real corruption with the FISA abuse.
