No chance Pelosi begins an inquiry and doesn’t push for impeachment as she would lose face. House will impeach and the Senate will not and the country will be extremely divided. Even more so than now.
Again there is no direct proof of bribery there is no high crime even Democrat and Constitution expert Dershowitz agrees.
Let the fun begin...
I don't think she wants to impeach, and she's pretty crafty. She could be playing some kind of game here.
.
It is a game. Of course it's a game.
They don't have the Senate votes, regardless of whether or not they can get enough in the House, so this is going nowhere.
She knows this. Anyone can count the Senate votes. They're not there. Now I guess if this turns into a flaming mess of obvious guilt and Trump is clearly going down, the votes might get there if the rats start deserting a clearly sinking ship, but I think that's extremely, extremely unlikely.
They can, however, create a scenario behind which they can hide in order to continue to sling mud, strengthen their demands for 'evidence' and put forward whatever story du jour they'd like, and do it all the way through the election. That's part of their game. Just more of the same old same old.
As others have said here, and I've said elsewhere, this also plays into the Trump fatigue factor by upping the volume and keeping it there through the election for those that are just sick of hearing this shit and want it to go away, so they'll vote for a ham sandwich if they think it means the chaos stops.
It's bread and circuses and nothing more. It plays to their party, some of which want this, and it may help them in the election. That's the math, IMO. It also will keep Trump wound up tighter than a piano string from now until the election and keep him off balance. El Presidente talks a good game but has a tendency to do some seriously stupid shit with his mouth when he's feeling cornered. They know that too.
