Pelosi has argued for prosecution of Trump after he leaves office but not for impeachment.

Does impeachment somehow preclude prosecution? If not then her argument is a non-starter.

and then hope someone can catch him after he leaves the room? Maybe Trump will be indicted. Maybe he'll be convicted. Maybe he'll go to prison.

But he can be impeached now.

It’s dangerous for one admin to prosecute the former prez. But, if there is any exception, it’s trump

Second, there is no jury in this country that won’t have a few white wingers who’ll hang the jury. So trump will get off, although it’ll be fun to watch him sweat.
