Pelosi Does House Democrats a Favor


March 12, 2019 at 7:25 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Playbook says Speaker Nancy Pelosi did Democrats a favor by saying she did not support impeaching President Trump.

“This allows Pelosi to be the punching bag on the impeachment issue. Members are getting questions about removing Trump from office every single day, and they are backed up by activists who are pushing this as well. And, for now, Pelosi has taken a position, and that’s helpful for Democrats. Pelosi isn’t foreclosing the possibility of impeaching Trump if special counsel Robert Mueller drops a bomb. But this is a way to tamp down talk for the moment.”

You’d think we’ve been calling the shots in this country for the last 20 years or something.
