Pelosi just announced "Trump impeachment "not off the table."

[MoonRiver]

per MSNBC

[BigmanPigman]

1. Didn't she say that before?

[EffieBlack]

5. Yes some people need to have her repeat it to them LOUDER and ...more...slowly

But I have a feeling this still won't satisfy them.

[prodigitalson]

12. Yes. Some of us do...it reasures me and it gets the public

ready for what I think they ARE going to do. But yeah, until they pull the trigger on it, I like an occasional reassurance.

[elleng]

7. More or less, but some didn't 'get' it.

[Perseus]

14. Many times

And so has Nadler, Schiff, and others, but nothing happens...

[Hekate]

16. What, exactly, counts as "something happening" in your opinion? What legally prescribed procedures

...would get you there? Do you think Mme Speaker et al. are following those procedures, or failing to follow those procedures?

Not picking on you personally -- it's just that you have stated something I have often heard from others here, and I would like to know.

[TwilightZone]

2. Consistent with her prior positions.

[DeminPennswoods]

3. Yes

This is consistent with what she has said, but perhaps a bit more "on the table" than before when it was essentially a last resort.

[manor321]

4. It was only in the chyron and she has said this before

I'm tired of this nonsense. An impeachment inquiry must begin immediately!

[dewsgirl]

6. I swear half the stuff in the red breaking news chryons,

on MSNBC is not breaking news.

[uponit7771]

18. +1, I'm numb to it now

[dewsgirl]

21. Me too, unfortunately.

[UniteFightBack]

8. If rump wants to try and neuter Congress then of course this is not off the table. nt

[PufPuf23]

9. Glad to hear that from Nancy Pelosi.

Hope it is so as I personally am impatient (and never thought that the Mueller Report was necessary).

[UTUSN]

10. K&R

[SunSeeker]

11. She needs to start formal impeachment investigation hearings now, like Hillary said. nt

[kentuck]

13. I am glad to hear that.

She will follow the Constitution.

[EveHammond13]

15. as Adam Parkemenkho (?) says - Weakness invites aggression.

[barbtries]

17. it can't be off the table.

Impeachment is the constitutional remedy for this president. To put it off indefinitely because of a possibly flawed political calculus is to leave the Democrats looking as dismissive of the Constitution as republicans have proved they are.

We cannot know how it will turn out. The historical record will show who followed the law and who shit on the law.

disclaimer I've been FOR impeachment pretty much since his 1st day in office: that's how long he's been committing impeachable offenses.

[yaesu]

19. taking impeachment off the table is like suspending the constitution. nt

[lastlib]

20. YES! It is the nuclear warhead in the Congressional quiver.

Fearing to use it means the executive branch has the upper hand.
