House Speaker Nancy Pelosi argued Tuesday that President Donald Trump is trying to provoke Democrats into proceeding with
impeachment, using some of her strongest language yet on
the issue. "Trump is goading us to impeach him," she said at an event in New York City hosted by the Cornell University Institute of Politics and Global Affairs. "That's what he's doing. Every single day, he's just like taunting, taunting, taunting because he knows that it would be very divisive in the country, but he doesn't really care. He just wants to solidify his base."
House Democratic leaders, including Pelosi, have worked
to tamp down talk of impeachment for months. Pelosi has consistently emphasized that impeachment is extremely divisive, and in March
she said Trump is "just not worth it."
But while she has taken a cautious approach to the issue of impeachment, Pelosi has also been quick to defend congressional oversight of the administration and appears to be publicly growing frustrated with
stonewalling from the White House.
Pelosi reiterated on Tuesday that she wants to continue with the process of gathering more information, saying "we have to see where the facts take us" and warning that Democrats will "be ready" for whatever may come.
And Pelosi again argued that Trump is obstructing justice, pointing to the White House
refusing to comply with subpoenas.
"Every day, he's obstructing justice by saying this one shouldn't testify and that one shouldn't testify and the rest. So he's making the case, but he's just trying to goad us into impeachment. And wherever you go, I say to my colleagues, whatever it is, be ready. And whatever it is, we'll be ready."
Pelosi was asked whether proceeding with impeachment might help Democrats in expected court battles in response to White House stonewalling.
The speaker reiterated that Democrats still need to be able to gather "more information" and emphasized the importance of obtaining
the full, unredacted Mueller report, but cautioned that "one thing leads to another."
"One thing leads to another," she said. "One hearing leads to another, where they don't tell the truth ... and that might take us to a place. We have to have more, I believe we have to have more information. But our impeachment power is a justification for our getting that other information."
DPST rationalization - It is all Trump's fault - He made us unhappy so we impeach him.
Go ahead and impeach - on grounds that DPST harassment needs more,more, more, more information. It won't fly in the Senate.
And will be a negative influence on voters in 202 for DPST causes.
To wit - More Taxes, Less medical care for all, more government control, a failing economy, More socialism, abortion on demand at any time in pregnancy, Open borders for all (except the migrants are not welcome in Pelosis neighborhood), support for maduro and radical Islam, Death to Israel as Omar and Tlaib support, and the DPST beat goes On!!!!
