Pelosi puts tight grip on talk of Trump impeachment
By Mike Lillis - 01/29/19 08:32 PM EST

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is keeping her troops in line on one of the most divisive issues facing Democrats internally and the country more broadly: the impeachment of President Trump.

As the minority leader over the past two years, Pelosi faced a small but intensifying push from rank-and-file Democrats to oust the president — a movement that won two floor votes in the last Congress and the support of 66 House Democrats in early 2018.

Yet in the weeks since taking the Speaker’s gavel, Pelosi has tamped down the impeachment talk in her ranks, according to multiple lawmakers, arguing it is important to allow special counsel Robert Mueller to wrap up his investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 election.

The effort is paying dividends, winning over even the most liberal Trump critics in the caucus while dissuading new acolytes to the impeachment effort, which has struggled to find a foothold in the new Congress.

“I’m in Speaker Pelosi’s camp. I think we have to see the report,” said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

What a load of bs.  For this to be true, she'd have Schiff's number on speed dial.

   Shirley the dems realize that unsubstantiated Impeachment action will result in a hardening of the resolve of all that are left in the GOP and some who aren't and will only strengthen Trump, as it should. 
   It is a direct attack on our system of Government.
