Nancy Pelosi: Democrats Launched 'Inquiry,' Not 'Outright Impeachment'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) attempted to draw the distinction during a press conference Wednesday that Democrats have launched an “impeachment inquiry,” not an “outright impeachment” of President Donald Trump.
Pelosi stated during the press conference with House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) that Democrats have begun an “impeachment inquiry” into the president over his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“This is an inquiry and not an outright impeachment. And we have to give the president his chance to exonerate himself, but he thinks what he did was perfect,” she stated....

Schiff said during the press conference that they have a serious investigation into the president and do not want the impeachment inquiry to drag on forever.

“We’re not fooling around here, though,” Rep. Schiff said. “We don’t want this to drag on months and months and months, which appears to be the administration’s strategy.”

House Speaker Pelosi also claimed that, despite their impeachment inquiry, they could work with President Trump on issues such as fixing drug pricing and passing the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement.

President Trump said Democrats continue to waste the country’s time rather than improving the lives of everyday Americans.​

Funny, Pelosi said they can do both. If you were president and were attacked with impeachment, would you work with the opposition party on bills? Of course not-Pelosi did not want impeachment for this reason-her House will go down in history for doing the least amount of legislation.
