big mistake not to impeach..........a solid 55-60% of the voters already detest the criminal in the WH
Here is why Nancy is Nervous: it’s a mistake to not impeach because her radical lefty flank is demanding it.
But it’s an even bigger mistake to impeach. Holding an impeachment vote but coming up short in the House is a loser, politically. But holding the vote and having it pass and end up in the Senate could spell disaster for Democrats because the investigation that Trump allegedly obstructed, itself, may be tainted by corruption.
The only card Nancy has to play is to make a pretense of going for impeachment and hope ‘the talk’ will drag Trump down.
It’s textbook political theater.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
