1. Out of context, and it appears she's misinterpreting what Pelosi said.

Pelosi, from the conference call:

“We have to save our democracy. This isn’t about Democrats or Republicans. It’s about saving our democracy,” Ms. Pelosi told the 172 members who participated in the 87-minute conference call, keeping the possibility of impeachment alive. “If it is what we need to do to honor our responsibility to the Constitution — if that’s the place the facts take us, that’s the place we have to go.”

2. I don't think Pelosi has read the report yet. Any Dem reading the Report knows we must impeach.

Mueller basically says it's our duty, over and over again. I am slowly reading through it. Bought it on Amazon, both volumes I and II, so I don't kill my printer.

As more and people read the report, more and more people are coming around to the realization that we must start impeachment investigation hearings NOW.

Hopefully she and/or her aides will read the report soon.

Also, they need to read Lawrence Tribe's piece in the Washington Post.

Regular oversight hearings do not give authority to Congress to obtain grand jury info. Only formal impeachment proceedings can do that.

Significantly, the appeals court decision several days ago reaffirmed that exception. All three judges agreed that an impeachment inquiry falls within the “exception for judicial proceedings” and “coheres” with other rulings about the proper scope of grand jury secrecy.

Trump welcomed a Russian attack on our country in order to gain office, then obstructed our Justice Department, sacking an AG and an FBI Director, in order to stop the investigation into that attack. This is horrifically worse than Watergate. We must expose this behavior in the context of a formal impeachment investigation because only that properly shows the seriousness of the conduct.

You do an oversight hearing on a cabinet secretary spending $40k of taxpayer money on a dining set for his office. You do an impeachment investigation hearing on a President who a Special Counsel found welcomed a Russian attack hacking our democracy, them tried to repeatedly to stop the investigation of that attack.

We must be on record as impeaching a president who commited these grave, treasonous crimes.
