WASHINGTON - House Democrats are grappling with whether to pursue further investigations of President Trump following his acquittal in the Senate, facing both an election in nine months and fresh White House actions that they say demand scrutiny.
Democrats want to look into whether the president improperly influenced the Justice Departments sentencing recommendation for a Trump confidant, casting Mr. Trump as emboldened by the end of the impeachment process. At the same time, party leaders are eager to focus on pocketbook issues for voters, such as health care, and Democrats are wary of launching another drawn-out fight with the White House that could backfire in November.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) staked out a middle ground Thursday. She said the House should investigate any role Mr. Trump played in federal prosecutors decision to reduce the initial sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone, who was convicted of lying to Congress and witness tampering. Mrs. Pelosi called such alleged meddling an abuse of power, echoing the charge in the first of the two impeachment articles.
But Mrs. Pelosi also said House Democrats arent going to spend all of our time going after every lie that the administration henchmen make, and emphasized that one priority is working with the administration on lowering prescription-drug costs. She signaled no new probes, instead pointing to testimony by Attorney General William Barr scheduled for March and a request made by Senate Democrats for an investigation by the Justice Department inspector general.

I guess this is more important to the Democrats than fixing the problems in the cities they run. The question, what is more important to the people who must choose in November?
Go ahead Nancy. Please. Pretty please. It worked so well last time, and that was just a trial run. After all the practice, the next impeachment should run like clockwork. Trumps done for now.
We need to rip it to see whats in it.
Yup,

Smells blood and
Is headed into Trump

That’s impeachable,,,
ain’t it?
This is well past being about elections.....it’s war!
From the moment she entered the room Pelosi showed the world she was out of control....even handling the gavel before she sat down. She evidenced TDS right from the beginning.
Pelosi said House Democrats arent going to spend all of our time going after every lie that the administration henchmen make:.....
Oh yes they are!
True.
The Democrats are willing to burn down the country for Hillary losing.
SEVERAL Democrats, though, expressed DISGUST with Nancy Pelosi ripping President Trump’s speech in half. Said they are done with the Democrat Party. This was at liberal Yahoo which is filled with Huff Po posters.
That's the truth. What is truly crazy is that most Dems don't even like Hillary. But they are nutso that she lost.
You should see them at Yahoo.
All they do is hate on President Trump. And Conservatives. And Christians. And Republicans.
What I mean by those multiple statements is they are always throwing derogatory, crude and offensive terms at anyone that fits in any of those categories.
