WASHINGTON — When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke last weekend at the California state Democratic Party convention, she was greeted with cries of “Impeach! Impeach!” from the crowd.
The reality, however, is far different: Among House Democrats, a majority do not currently support even opening a formal impeachment inquiry, let alone an actual vote to impeach President Donald Trump, House members and staff say.
About one-quarter of House Democrats publicly support opening an impeachment inquiry against Trump. More say they are moving closer to that position as the White House continues to defy congressional demands for documents and witnesses.
The growing support for an impeachment inquiry creates the potential for a dramatic clash with the Trump administration this summer over Congress’ investigative demands. But the wide range of views over impeachment continues to shape Pelosi’s strategy as she maneuvers to keep the Democrats from dividing over the issue.
The spectrum of opinions can be seen in stark relief in the vast, 46-member Democratic delegation from California, home to 1 in 5 House Democrats.
Twelve California Democrats publicly support starting an impeachment inquiry. In recent days, several more have signaled that they see evidence of impeachable offenses or that they feel impeachment is all but inevitable amid what they call stonewalling from the White House.

Of 235 Dim members in the House, only 51 support impeachment, most of the rest are laying low and quiet.
No wonder Trump mocks and provokes them.
As I have been saying on this site for years, Trump is no more impeachable than Obama was.
The article states that the number of dums in favor of impeachment is “growing”. Sounds like they have a mold problem, living under rocks and in musty places as they do. In the light of day, such scum as they are would never survive.
What is the CRIME?
Q: What is FAR better than an actual impeachment for Dems?
A: Nattering about impeachment for the next 18 months to create the impression in the gullible and LOFOs that Trump is a CRIMINAL, that there MUST be something seriously criminal about Trump or else they wouldn’t be talking about him being a criminal.
One can only conclude that it is “growing” due to arms being twisted and families being threatened.
It sure isn’t because of any evidence of wrongdoing.
I think Trump is a LOT LESS impeachable than Obama the Schemer. Trump is actually innocent and Obama clearly guilty of accepting help from the Russians, trading away my uranium, flouting our laws. The Dems are having more show trials with no crimes like the Nazis did, its reaaally predictable what they do, its all propaganda.
Do it Nancy. And let’s see what you lose in the 2020 election.
*** DO IT !!! ***
Impeachment has nothing to do with crimes.
Absolutely nothing.
It’s 100% political, by design.
Do you know what else they don't have?
Charges. Evidence. Or any crimes.
anyone who has actually studied the nazis can see the obvious parallels to the Dems. they want to abort, control the schools, the colleges, the workplace, music, tv, everything. next comes arrests for thought or hate crimes, reeducation camps, and the sweeping away of the Republic, all just like in Germany.
“Charges. Evidence. Or any crimes. “
They don’t need ANY of that.
All they need is 218 votes. With that they can impeach for any reason they damn well please.
And there is no force on earth that could stop them.
Sounds like for once, the democrats are not believing their own press.
and Trump is not Political, so he has no idea what they are doing, it just looks like personal destruction to him, but the goal is much more sinister.
The crime is that Trump is not part of the Deep State One World Government bullshit, and he believes that the U.S. should be a sovereign country.
Impeach him on what?
“Impeach him on what?”
Farting in church is impeachable. As is being mean.
“What is the CRIME?”
Not loosing his Presidential election to PIAPS! She had been “foreordained” to be President and Trump upset that plan.
DJT: Throw me in that briar patch!
They will hold off on charges until they think they have the timing to throw the election.
Nike.
Just do it.
