‘I’m not for impeachment,’ Pelosi says, potentially roiling fellow Democrats

[FONT=&quot]House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in an interview that she opposes moving to impeach President Trump even though she believes he is “unfit” for office — her first definitive statement on the subject and one that stands to alienate members of her own Democratic Party who are intent on ousting the president.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]“I’m not for impeachment,” she said in a March 6 interview conducted for a future issue of The Washington Post Magazine.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“This is news,” she added. “I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.” [/FONT]

No collusion. No impeachment. No nothing.

Just not going your way, eh libs?

This is actually smart. Democrats are circling the drain right because of Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala, Oman, Booker, Bernie, etc, and this would only put 10 more nails in the coffin.

She said unless there is something really convincing and bipartisan. She is wise

Do you think so?

I think Americans are smart enough to know that having a blatantly racist POTUS like Trump is bad for the country. So no matter what his supporters threaten to do, I expect the rest of the country will happily rid itself of this flimflam artist.

No impeachment.

So what changed between yesterday and today? Republicans in the Senate aren't going to agree to impeachment no matter what is found, so what did Pelosi's comment really change?

Sadly (for Trump supporters), the congressional investigations will not end anytime soon. Sure to last at least up until he is voted out of office.
 
Re: ‘I’m not for impeachment,’ Pelosi says, potentially roiling fellow Democrats

Nancy Pelosi is very pragmatic and she knows that waiting for the Mueller Investigation to wrap up before bringing an impeachment to vote is the most rational thing to do. We do not need impeachment at this moment, but that's not ruling out impeachment in the future.

So she is smart but AOC, Talib, Omar are dumb? I know, they are new. Let them get through orientation first.

Pelosi is at least being an adult and recognizes that impeachment would be very divisive and bad for the country. The rest of your filthy party don't care about their country.

The Mueller investigation is actually last on my list of things to rely on. Unlike an impeachment hearing, investigations by the House Committees and the SDNY actually have a chance of going somewhere.

Pelosi grasps something a lot of people don't: even if we know there is nothing that could convince Senate Republicans to agree to remove Trump gtom oggivr, the mere existence of an impeachment hearing creates an unrealistic sense of hope that can only result in demoralizing defeat. What's the point of that? Symbolism? Well, defeat is symbolic, too, and I'd say that can be a lot worse.

You don't know that.
What if Mueller's report shows treason which exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors"? Do you really think that lowly of the Republicans?
 
Re: ‘I’m not for impeachment,’ Pelosi says, potentially roiling fellow Democrats

She said unless there is something really convincing and bipartisan.
Well, duh. But it seems quite clear that she has seen no such 'something.'

If Mueller showed "treason" then Republicans would argue that treason can't exist because we're not at war with Russia.

If you're a Republican, nothing hinges on what Mueller or anybody else says, but rather on what claims, beliefs or facts protect Donald Trump.

Nobody takes those seriously.

The DP platform having seizures from trying to import characters from other platforms. It's why I preview new threads these days before hitting "submit."

Yes, Trump appointing three toadies in a row will do that.

It depends on what is found by Mueller.

You wear blinders. It's some of the loony Dems. on the judiciary committees that don't care about the Mueller report and are rushing to judgment.

Hilarious, isn't it?

Right. Because Republicans were so supportive of Mueller before Trump finally moved Sessions and Rosenstein out the door and replaced them with toadies. Then suddenly...like magic!...you trust in Mueller.
 
Re: ‘I’m not for impeachment,’ Pelosi says, potentially roiling fellow Democrats

Trump and those around him do. That's all that really matters.

Nah....I think Nancy's handlers are just finally getting through to her that impeaching Bill Clinton did not go well for the republicans and she does not want the democrats especially in the House to suffer a similar fate. She is probably also hearing that Newly confirmed Attorney General Barr, soon after the Mueller investigation is done, may go after all parites involved in the illegal abuse of the FISA court and the phony dossier. He may also go after certain FBI individuals that shirked their duties in regards to Hillary's email scandal.

Even if Mueller finds very solid evidence, I doubt that he will move forwards with any prosecution. Convictions require an unanimous decision, and in this political environment, I doubt that any prosecutor will give him many chances to convince all jurors that Trump or Trump Jr or Kushner are guilty of any crime. All you need is one partisan to escape a guilty verdict. I mean, I have seen cops claiming self-defense who escaped conviction by a jury despite the clear proof of a video showing them shooting at the back of people who were trying to escape simply because there was one juror who did not feel "comfortable" to convict a cop...

Nancy created the monster herself by throwing in with the most radical elements of her party iniitially.

Remember when Mueller was the libruls hero? :lamo

Well, assuming that you are right that Trump is a blatant racist, that is not an impeachable offense.
