House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said she doesn’t think Democrats should focus on impeaching President Donald Trump.
Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether Democrats will try to impeach Trump if they win the House in the 2018 midterm elections, as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has claimed, Pelosi said, “No.”
“I believe that whatever we do, we have a responsibility first and foremost to unify the nation. Second of all, you can’t go down any path without the facts and the law,” she said. “If that’s there, perhaps it will come out in these investigations.”
She said if new facts “come forth” about Trump, then “let the chips fall where they may.”
“But it’s not someplace that I think we should go,” Pelosi said.
“Not a priority for you,” Jake Tapper pressed.
“No,” she replied. “That’s not what our election is about.”

Democrats are weak, effete pussies not up to this fight.
What Republicans will the next Dem President name to his/her cabinet I wonder?
The unstated piece here is that she doesn’t want the mid-terms to turn into a presidential election with her name on the ballot. The more Democrats can run for the house on their own terms and not be tied to Pelosi, the better, and this statement is line with making that happen.
Nothing new here. She’s been saying the same thing for months.
FYVM, Nancy Pelosi.
Consider what Donnie Two-scoops has done:
If those things are not High Crimes and Misdemeanors, nothing is.
I’m not saying you should shout from the rooftops, “Elect us and we’ll impeach the son-of-a-bitch.” I am saying you should not rule it out, and you’re saying, “Absent new facts, we won’t impeach him.”
The Democratic Party is the substitute teacher…do whatever the fuck you want. No consequences.
Weak. Effete. Pussies.
