WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi, confronting a Democratic divide over the findings of the special counsel, urged her caucus on Monday to hold off impeaching President Trump for now, even as she denounced the “highly unethical and unscrupulous behavior” that she said had dishonored his office.
Her comments, outlined in a letter to House Democrats on Monday and a subsequent conference call with them, seemed designed to increase support for the investigations already begun, rather than impeachment. But the conference call exposed the persistent divisions that Ms. Pelosi is trying to bridge, as several Democrats questioned the cost of not beginning the impeachment of Donald J. Trump.
The release last week of the report by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, threw to Congress the fate of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and Mr. Trump’s efforts to interfere with it. Some House Democrats are convinced that impeachment proceedings would be doomed to fall short of removal from office and therefore would only help the president politically. Others argue that failing to impeach would effectively signal to this president and his successors that serious misdeeds will be tolerated by a legislative branch fearful of political consequence.
Ms. Pelosi tried to convince her colleagues that they have tools to hold Mr. Trump to account without impeaching him. Underscoring Ms. Pelosi’s approach, the Democrat-led Judiciary Committee announced as the call began that it had subpoenaed Donald F. McGahn II, the former White House counsel and one of the central figures of Mr. Mueller’s report, to appear at a public hearing in late May. The hearing, the committee’s chairman told colleagues, would be the first in a series of public sessions showcasing possible obstruction of justice, abuses of power and corruption in the Trump administration.

Will they find him guilty of not being guilty?
Let ‘em have their fun. They can try all they want and vote too impeach. Then it goes to the Senate where it will die a quick death. After that, then what will the dims try?
The Dems have an obsession of beating
dead horses.
President Trump is guilty of defeating Hillary in 2016.
For that, there is no forgiveness from Nancy’s friends.
She is a coward. Its really hilarious when a77 year old chirping trash. And we all act like Rocky is threatening to pound us. Pelosi stick all your cowardly crap where the sun doesn’t shine. Fu**ing destroyer of this nation. Rot in your San Fran sh*t.
Bring it, scrubs.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if the Dems actually manage to pull a coup and take over. But then, unlike Dems, I don’t actually wish for chaos.
The “ conference” call was chaos!! They are wondering in the wilderness and there is no promised land!! Trump will whip their communist asses.Go PDJT!! Build the wall already!!
How about presenting Mueller, Comey, McCabe, and the rest of this brood of morons with a BILL for theft of services and the $35 million they utterly wasted on nothing?
She’s such an old hag. Her chuckling reveals a mental condition-—— Dementia!
Maybe PeeLousy is urging caution because she knows that 100 million well-armed Americans are more than willing to hit the reset button if the treasonous Dems go through with impeachment, and that hers will be one of the first necks to stretch from some lightpost on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Because they cant beat him LEGIT..so they want to take him out this way..if they thought they could beat him in an honest election they would wait til November 2020 but they know they cant beat him with their sick, twisted communist agenda
never in my life thought Nancy would be the voice of reason.
Nancy’s on again off again impeachment is off again for today ,LOL
Well, let’s get on with it.
Why dilly-dally?
The progs have a majority in the House.
Let’s have some Articles of Impeachment pronto!
Not to impeach is gross negligence.
BTW, Hillary’s deposition as the wronged party will be hilarious.
She’s not. Her fear is the poke the cornered bear with a stick. You drove him into the corner, can’t finish him off, now the claws of DNC treason come out. She knows Trump is the #1 threat to the DNC surviving. I just wish he would start the declassified IV and get the slow drip of death going!
More like “the voice of Treason”!
