'Crossed the Rubicon': Pressure on Nancy Pelosi from Left could mean Trump impeachment inevitable

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has long resisted sanctioning a full-blown impeachment inquiry into President Trump, may now have no choice but to give it her blessing.

Powerful voices on the liberal Left have ramped up calls for Pelosi to greenlight a full House impeachment inquiry following the revelation through a whistleblower that Trump urged the Ukraine government to investigate Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden.

“At this point, the bigger national scandal isn’t the president’s lawbreaking behavior — it is the Democratic Party’s refusal to impeach him for it,” liberal freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, tweeted to her 5.4 million followers.

The increased urgency of the pressure follows weeks of Pelosi, 79, slow-walking an impeachment probe by instead directing six House committees to investigate the president relating to a variety of allegations involving his campaign, administration, and personal business.

The talk of impeaching Trump has been going on even before he won the election.  The DEMS will wait though till next year just a few months before the general election hoping that people won't vote for a President that may be impeached.

Even though I don't like Trump, this pathalogical vendetta that the ultra left has orchestrated is not being ignored by the vast middle majority of this country.

Trump will pull a Clinton, and use it to his advantage.  The strategy of nuetralizng the percieved moderate  Biden, then demonize Warren, Harris, or Sanders as the communist they are.   Easily can see a Trump re-election.

Not so sure.  The majority may see the corruption but the DEMS will still vote DEM.

90% of the time, yes.  But I can remember what happened when a candidate this far to the left got the nomination.  (McGovern)

Even dims will be giving back thought to their IRA's and 401K's, and will get weak kneed when comes push time comes of blessing a bonafied Socialist POTUS.

[jmyrlefuller]

Let's say he's impeached, removed from office, but then wins re-election. (Probably won't happen because the Senate, even if all the Dems vote impeach, won't take him out.) Then what?

[austingirl]

but the DEMS will still vote DEM.

So will the illegals and the dead.

I agree.

He only won Massachusetts so however many electoral votes it has.  (More than 10, I'd guess).

[Wingnut]

Pretty much what I thought too.  The stink of that election still hangs over the Rat party.

[musiclady]

He got 17 electoral votes.

I hope you're right.   I fear you're wrong.

Trump will spend the next year on the campaign trail defending himself against all these accusations...not a way to run a campaign.

Stellar performance.

[catfish1957]

It is looking like that in the first time in history, an avowed certified Socialist will be a major candidate for POTUS.

The cliche of "most important election of our lifetime"........  won't be a cliche'.

Trump will spend the next year on the campaign trail defending himself against all these accusations...not a way to run a campaign.

If he were a mature human being he wouldn't waste his time doing that.

But he isn't, so he will......

If he was smart, he'd be hiring junk yard dog surrogates to fight back, while he remains mum.  DJT then paints his opponent as a communist 24/7.

IMPEACH ME!! I AM HERE!! IMPEACH ME!! DO IT NOW!

Exactly.

But he pumps up his minions by "fighting back," while ignoring the real threat....... Communism.

All he has to ask is, "are you better off today than before I was elected?".

[bilo]

If he were a mature human being he wouldn't waste his time doing that.

But he isn't, so he will......

He wouldn't be POTUS if he didn't fight the way he does.
