In reply to the discussion: Nancy Pelosi on Impeaching Trump: 'He's Just Not Worth It' [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)Mueller is turning a report in. He's turning in an indictment on a sitting President.
Letting Trump finish doing all the damage he can, and then asking the courts to prosecute, is one way to go. I wonder if SDNY will want to spend all its tax dollars on prosecuting Trump AFTER he's finished damaging the country, when the House could have at least tried to stop the damage.
Trump may well die before any criminal prosecution is over. He's old, obese, and not in good health.
Prosecuting him won't stop him from being popular with his supporters. This is about protecting the country. So...if all we're going to do is try to win in 2020, well, we could do that without all the investigations.
The House does not consist of professional investigators. Some of what they do will have to be re-done, or built on, by real investigators. Altho there will be testimony under oath to use. But real investigators will have questions to ask of those witnesses.
Mueller will turn his report in. If the House is not going to impeach, that's the end of it. It's likely a President can't be indicted, anyway. If they try, it'll go to the S.Ct.
All of that is divisive, Pelosi's reason for not impeaching. So you see, that reason can't be correct for someone who supports all the investigations, which are without a doubt very divisive.
