House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comment this week that impeaching President Trump might not be “worth it” found some early backing — and little vocal pushback — among the House Democratic majority.
“I certainly agree that in the absence of very compelling evidence that either Mueller produces or we’re able to find, gaining the bipartisan support necessary, impeachment to be successful, would be enormously difficult,” Schiff told reporters Monday night. “While I don’t exclude that possibility, I don’t think we should put the country through impeachment without that amount of evidence.”
“She said essentially what I’ve been saying. We’re not nearly there yet. We may or may not get there,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y."I am beginning the investigation," said Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., on Tuesday, who said after being sworn in in January that Democrats were going to"impeach the motherf---er."
Impeachment"is going to come together,” said House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., when Americans “are absolutely demanding it, and you have some Republicans who can’t take it anymore and some of us who have the courage to do it.” "And if we conclude that it’s about democracy and about the republic then we can embrace Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution, which deals with impeachment of an unfit president."
