Nancy Pelosi has angered some of my progressive friends by taking the impeachment of Resident Donald Trump, the Cantaloupe Criminal, the Tangerine Traitor, off the table.  Don’t get my wrong!  I would thoroughly enjoy seeing the Fuhrer of the Republican Reich kicked from the White House into a 6 X 8 with bars.  That’s a TomCat wet dream!  Nothing could be more just.  But if we consider it seriously, is it really a good idea?<\/font><\/p>\n

Democrats are largely lining up behind House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her wait-and-see strategy on any impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n

Moderate and even some of the most liberal House Democrats said they were supportive of the speaker after she told The Washington Post that she’s not for impeachment, at least for now. Impeaching Trump is “just not worth it,” Pelosi said, unless there’s overwhelming support. While some in her caucus may disagree on certain points, the majority of Democrats endorsed Pelosi’s approach<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said a unilateral pursuit of impeachment by Democrats would be an “exercise doomed for failure<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n

“I see little to be gained by putting the country through that kind of wrenching experience,” he said at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. <\/p>\n

House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings said impeachment “has to be a bipartisan effort, and right now it’s not there.” Cummings said his sense is that “this matter will only be resolved at the polls.”<\/strong>…  [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
