Fox News’ senior political analyst Brit Hume weighed in on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry, arguing the move “was really quite clever.”

What Pelosi accomplished, he argued, was to placate the progressive wing of the party while protecting moderates by not actually moving forward with a formal impeachment vote.

"It strikes me that the Speaker and the other leaders are under pressure from the left wing of the party and the leftists in their caucus -- who are numerous -- to move ahead here," he said.

"The loathing of Donald Trump and the desire to get him out of office is very intense. They've got constituents back home that want to see action taken against Trump in a serious way so it comes down to this."

He continued: "I think she’s thinking that she needs to be responsive to the needs of her caucus -- look at what she did today, it was really quite clever if you think about it.”

Here’s the Ukraine transcript: It shows the president asking the Ukrainian leader to look into 2016 goings on, including Biden’s son. But there are not 8 mentions, as has been claimed, nor is there any clear quid pro quo — U.S. $$$ in exchange for Ukraine investigating Bidens.

Nancy )and Mitch) did n't reach their ositions, by being ineffective.

They were voted by their members, for that reason.

It may be clever, but it's also cynical, damaging and dangerous.

Pelosi slow walked this impeachment (inquiry), with all it’s committee investigations, daily headlines and phony accusations, in order to drag it well into election season.

They still desperately want to overturn the 2016 election results while using this issue - or any other they think they can use - against Trump as re-election insurance.

I am shocked and chagrined, mortified and stupefied at the actions of the House leader.
