House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Donald Trump is “goading” Democrats to impeach him from office because he thinks it will help him fire up his base.
“Don’t tell anybody I told you this: Trump is goading us to impeach him,” Pelosi said Tuesday during an event hosted by Cornell University in New York City. “That’s what he’s doing. Every single day, he’s just like, taunting and taunting and taunting.”
“We can’t impeach him for political reasons, and we can’t not impeach him for political reasons,” Pelosi continued. “We have to see where the facts take us.”
Pelosi has previously said Democrats should try to not focus on impeaching Trump, saying it could be a “gift to Republicans.” The speaker of the House also said impeaching Trump is “not a priority” after his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in November 2018.
However, many of her Democratic colleagues have continued to push for impeaching Trump, such as Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green who broke with Pelosi when he vowed to force a vote to impeach Trump in late March.
Green, who previously had two bills to impeach Trump overwhelmingly rejected by the House of Representatives, called for a third impeachment vote. Pelosi said impeachment was “just not worth it” in a March interview.
Many Republicans have said they have a hard time believing Pelosi’s impeachment comments.

But Nancy, so many of your compatriots want impeachment and don’t care how divisive it would be.

I will love to see if they have the guts to impeach the president, but they are a bunch of cowards, big mouth but no cojones. They know that they don’t have the votes in the senate to remove the president, and Trump also know that so he continued to provoke Pelosi and Schumer.
Is it me, or is San Fran Nan looking a little worse for wear these days? Between AOC , Omar, and Trump, she looks like she’s headed for a CVA. Trump isn’t goading the Dems., he’s herding the goats.

I get concerned the DNC may ask the Clintons who it is that does all the “suicides” of the people they don’t like. I think it would be wise for the Secret Service to put more people around Trump.
The Dims are scared cacaless because they know they can not beat him in 2020. It will be great to see them in absolute panic mode as the 2020 election draws near.

If democrats move to impeach him, I’m sure he’ll release all the dirt he’s holding on them and the rinos. I have to believe he has made it clear through “proper” District of Corruption channels that he has enough to get them all arrested or impeached and will happily do it. I can just see his lawyers calling each rino and democrat in congress to face a withering examination complete with pictures highlighted by circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back to use against them (thank you Arlo Guthrie).
Attention, psychiatrists: Make notes on this speech as part of an example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Does Nancy spend weekends going home to San Francisco, her home district, to help shovel the doodoo off the streets?

Poor Nancy she can’t Impeach President Trump but she sure throws it out there enough. If you are smart which we know you are not, you will cut all the crap, quit wasting time hoping Our President will do something wrong, not a chance.
After her 5th face lift, she doesn’t have anything left to stretch!

Pelosi is a huge joke. If you have the stones and the evidence impeach Trump. I’m looking forward to seeing Trump own the Seante and the House. And when that happens it will be amusing to see the Demorats explain their sedition and treason while testifuing. And Lord, I hope to be on those juries.
“We can’t impeach him for political reasons, and we can’t not impeach him for political reasons,” Pelosi continued. “We have to see where the facts take us.
Since when have the Democratic party cared about facts? You people want him out of office because he’s not part of your agenda to bring America to her knees with Socialism that the Democratic party embraces. No more, no less. You lost the election because smart people are still allowed to vote in this country. If you had your way, only illegals and criminals would have that right.
