President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) informed him in a private meeting that Democrats did not intend to impeach him.
“So I think it’s very hard to impeach somebody who has done a great job, that’s number one,” Trump said from the Rose Garden Friday. “And we even talked about that today. I said, ‘Why don’t you use this for impeachment?’ And Nancy said, ‘We’re not looking to impeach you.’ I said, ‘That’s good, Nancy, that’s good.’ But you don’t impeach people when they’re doing a good job. And you don’t impeach people when there was no collusion because there was no collusion.”

The comments could prove to be troublesome for Pelosi, who was just elected speaker of a Democratic caucus with many freshman members who campaigned on impeaching Trump. More senior members, like Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), have maintained that it’s too early to discuss the possibility of impeachment.
“not looking to impeach you until Mueller speaks”
Dammit Donnie, context is everything…
The Medias desire to try to divide democrats aside, no, this will not cause trouble for Nancy.
First, no one trusts anything that Trump says. Second, I would expect Nancy to say exactly what she said, which is that “Democrats are not looking to impeach anyone, Congress is waiting on Muller’s report and investigations and oversight that are now going on, and that will do. Only if there is a political consensus that is bipartisan that Trump has committed impeachable acts will the house act.” She has said this 10 times, and I am sure is happy to have the media ask again so she can say it an 11th time.
No we’re not Donnie
We’re just waiting around to see if it’s even worth the trouble after Mueller gets through with you.
The end is coming Donnie
It’s coming
This. Is. Funny.
So, he can see the impeachment coming.
It’s the only reason he would be talking about it.
Until …
