Pelosi broke from historical precedent by declaring an "official" impeachment inquiry, instead of calling for a full vote in the House to open a formal inquiry, which is how impeachment proceedings have been handled in the recent past.
Also missing from the Democrats' current impeachment proceedings is an opportunity for the House minority -- in this case, Republicans -- to participate in the investigation.
The [House Intelligence Committee] purports to be a committee...one that's looking at impeaching [Trump], except they never got a vote of Congress, so that deprives the Republicans of subpoena powers
If they had made an impeachment proceeding the Republicans could subpoena Joe Biden. The Republicans could subpoena the Ukrainians. The Republicans could subpoena the people who have the evidence of the collusion involving Hillary Clinton's campaign and two operatives of the Democratic National Committee
