Nancy Pelosi on Impeaching Trump: ‘He’s Just Not Worth It’

Washington Post ^ | 3/11/19 | Joe Heim

[conservative98]

In a wide-ranging interview, the country’s most powerful Democrat says Trump is unfit to be president — “ethically,” “intellectually” and “curiosity-wise” — but impeachment would be too divisive.

Ya suppose the taxpayers could get a refund on the Muller investigation, say from the Clinton foundation?

[hflynn]

I wonder if Nancy has told Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff and boss AOC and Omar The Somali?

Does this mean an end to the Schiff and Nadler investigation circus?

[alloysteel]

Attempted impeachments, even when successful, have so far had ZERO chance of removing the targeted President from office, without his consent. Almost always, the fallout has damaged the party that tried to remove the target much more than the party that defended the President involved.

Impeachment is a fool’s errand on the best of days, even against an otherwise unpopular President.

Nobody is so much of an underdog that there are no defenders taking his part.

We hope that by laying off, he won’t come after those of us who perpetrated the attempt.

My first thought (after amazement) was that she must be really scared. Once the DOJ turns its focus on her (and Hillary’s minions), her career and free military plane rides are over. And there just may be a little jail time in the picture. I doubt she can get Botox treatments in prison.

And there is Trumps threat to release the redacted documents.

That seems the principle, perhaps sole leverage with regard to the issue of impeachment.

Clearly, a large portion of the Dems lust to commence impeachment proceedings with all manner of continuing "scandalous" allegations IMO as a means of knocking him out at the primary level. Such will also include favorable press coverage of his competition. Both efforts will require a sense of timing.

Pelosi's statement could be nothing but a head fake, of course; in any event, there is the question of whether she can control off-stage forces or even effectively control the House in this regard.

Mr. Nadler, How do you respond to Nancy Pelosi saying impeachment being not worth it? And what about the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee saying your probe is unconstitutional?

[mass55th]

That’s because they have no impeachable offenses to proceed on.

“Democrat says Trump is unfit to be president — “ethically,” “intellectually” and “curiosity-wise” — but impeachment would be too divisive”

Divisive has nothing to do with it. The fact is, your opinion of President Trump is not grounds for impeachment! Further, you’ve got nothing whatsoever that qualifies as grounds for impeachment!

[Lockbox]

Now it's payback time! And we aren't talking impeachment, we are talking prison!

Yesterday I saw some poll of democrat citizens and what their priorities were. Out of about 20 items, impeachment was second from the bottom. It's just not going to help them, and it might cause even more turmoil in the Democrat party when it failed.

Also, good job everyone for sticking with President Trump. They were never able to drive a wedge between him and his voters. If they could have, he would have been impeached.

[Southnsoul]

In other words, Democrats don’t have enough evidence to impeach the president. And they know all hell would break loose if they tried.

[keats5]

Oh, is the Mueller report still coming out any day now?
(I lost track after so many “any days.” )

[Electric Graffiti]

“They must have heard from someone on the Mueller team they can’t find anything on Trump.”

They weren’t just looking for stuff(this was never a legitimate legal inquiry), they were/are conducting a coup. I will be shocked if Mueller doesn’t come down with a long laundry list of ‘crimes and obstruction of justice’.

But you’re right, PDJT may have used the threat of the FISA docs release, etc. as a means to quell this coup and try and sweep this massive conspiracy of high treason under the carpet(the reason for the Bill Barr appointment)

[doorgunner69]

Realizing being out in clear view might be hazardous?

We the people deserve to know the truth and if what you say is true then Trump is part of the problem and just as corrupt.

Message sent, impeachment no longer "worth it". Why, you might ask.

"If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
