Why is Pelosi reluctant to get the House to vote to start impeachment process?

 

[Archies Ghost]

Unnecessary exposure for members in vulnerable districts. If she can avoid a vote she will. I think she wants this whole thing in the past as soon as possible and if she can make that happen without ever making her caucus go on the record she will be happy.

impeachment is incredibly risky politically. If you don't get a small dunk case then Democrats in borderline districts could lose.

Why is Pelosi reluctant to get the House to vote to start impeachment process?

The same reason a DA doesn't rush to a grand jury before completing a thorough investigation to gather as many facts and as much evidence as possible.

Because this has never been about conducting a real impeachment process to investigate a real crime. It's simply another shady underhanded attempt to remove from office a President the Democrats don't like and have said from the day he was elected that they would do so.

She is trying to set up an obstruction charge.

No. It is because Republicans will defend Trump no matter what. McConnell already came out vowing he'll stop it.

Right, Pelosi wants it both ways. She wants something that looks like impeachment but does not put her numbers at risk.

Yeah, well if you can't see that then you are going go need to plan on spending a lot more time looking for gifs. You're not going to like the next few weeks.

For some reason what you are quoting comes up as "ignored content."

eh,

I was just reiterating the fact that it is premature for Pelosi to seek a grand jury incitement against trump.

Oh, well that's not what this is.

BTW, grand juries do not selectively leak info at the end of the day. Schiff does.

Leak? He goes beyond leaking; he creates and invents events and scenarios that never happened in order to satisfy his penchant for hyperbole and demonizing.

And recites them out loud into the public record.

Good thing for Schiff that he is running committee investigation and not a grand jury. Why is it so hard for you all to understand that an impeachment hearing "grand jury" has not even begun yet? They need evidence to actually have a hearing and to draft the Articles of Impeachment. Once Intel Committee completes their investigation, they will turn it over to Judicial who will decide whether or not to draft Articles of Impeachment and send it to the House floor or "grand jury".
