Clyburn Defends Dem Leadership Approach on Impeachment: It 'May Be the Answer,' We're Not There Yet

House Majority Whip James Clyburn this morning defended the approach from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership in the House, despite more Democrats and even one Republican congressman coming out in support of beginning impeachment proceedings.

On MSNBC this morning, Joy Reid brought up the ongoing fight between the House and Trump administration, saying, “They’re just literally defying both you guys and the courts. So if impeachment is not the answer to that, and I think it’s clear you guys in leadership don’t think impeachment is the answer, what is the answer?”

“Impeachment may be the answer,” Clyburn responded. “I don’t think that those of us in leadership are saying that impeachment is not the answer. I think from the report, from all that I’ve seen and heard for the last several years, I do believe that impeachment may be the answer. Those are the grounds.”

He went on to talk about when the “proper time is” to begin that process and how they can’t get ahead of it and instead focus on continuing to investigate and hold hearings.

“Then we may have reached the time to launch the impeachment inquiries. I don’t think we’re there yet,” Clyburn added.

1. Maybe trying to grab headlines closer to 2020?

Americans do have the attention spans of gnats. That is the only possible strategy of not impeaching now that i can see.

2. No offense sir, but re-read the oath you took.

3. It's too soon

Trump has ignored requests for documents, ignored subpoenas, ordered others to ignore documents and ignore subpoenas. Now Barr has ignored a federal judges order.
We need to wait until Trump ignores election results.
