What is a "Formal Impeachment Inquiry"

Nancy Pelosi has announced that the House will begin a "Formal Impeachment Inquiry". The only problem is that there is no such thing. The constitution allows only for Impeachment and for that the House must pass "Articles of Impeachment" outlying the alleged crimes. As for House investigations they could investigate crimes; but, they must state what crime they are investigating and they still haven't done so.

This is all a perverse and cynical abuse of process. If the House is convinced that a crime was committed then they should request a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate a specific crime, as was done with Mueller. They don't want to do that because this is just a show for the cameras to appease the Democrats base.
