Pelosi knew this whole thing would fail, but she made Schiff the fall guy for it. Pelosi gets a three for one deal out of this. She gives the rabid RAT base the impeachment proceedings they wanted. She wiped her hands clean by making Schiff the point man in this disaster thereby deflecting most of the blame to him, and this settles down the insurgents like AOC. It’s all about self preservation and survival for every politician. I think this is what Pelosi is doing in this whole process.
If that’s what she is doing she has lost power and reason.
FWIW Nadler seems to be laying low.
