In a call with members of her caucus on Monday evening, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged her colleagues to pump the breaks on talk of impeachment, Politico reported.
“We can investigate Trump without drafting articles,” she said, according to sources on the call who spoke to Politico. “We aren’t going to go faster, we are going to go as fast as the facts take us.”
In a letter to House Democrats on Monday, she also reminded her colleagues that the “facts regarding holding the President accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings,” according to Politico.
As some within the caucus reignite talks of impeachment, Pelosi and other Democratic leaders like House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) have extinguished any knee-jerk impeachment talks, likely because of the political consequences of drafting articles.
So, we’ll just go ahead and set the precedent that other than possibly committing cold blooded murder in a room full of witnesses there is no such thing as an impeachable offense.
I think she’s open to impeachment, but wants to collect as much damaging information as possible before the call is made. One way or another we’ll arrive at outing the criminal from the WH.
Pretty much. It seems like she’s more concerned about making sure EVERYTHING is done well. They would have to make sure things are airtight and that all the t’s are crossed and i’s dotted. If they’re gonna do it, they have to do it RIGHT, especially with removal being slim even if he’s impeached
So it is obvious why her lackeys like Nadler are slow-walking the investigations.
She has never ever been open to impeachment.
I think she keeps downplaying the idea which helps to keep the criminal in limbo. He can’t relax and possibly think he’s off the hook.
