House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pushed back on impeachment talk after House Judiciary Dems approved procedures for an impeachment investigation into President Trump.
“Impeachment is a very divisive measure, but if we have to go there, we’ll have to go there. But we can’t go there unless we have the facts.”
Nancy Pelosi knows impeachment is political suicide for her so she has been doing a very careful dance around the subject with her doublespeak.
Pelosi keeps saying she wants to litigate and get to the facts, but she will never commit to impeachment.
“We’ll make our decision when we are ready — that’s the only question — that’s all I’m going to say about this subject,” Pelosi said shutting down rabid liberal reporters salivating over Trump impeachment.

The House Judiciary Committee chaired by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) on Thursday approved procedures for an impeachment investigation into President Trump.
“Some call this process an impeachment inquiry. Some call it an impeachment investigation. There is no legal difference between these terms, and I no longer care to argue about the nomenclature,” Nadler said as he opened the meeting. “But let me clear up any remaining doubt: The conduct under investigation poses a threat to our democracy. We have an obligation to respond to this threat. And we are doing so.”
Nadler held a presser on Thursday where he asserted that the impeachment investigation will go “well beyond the four corners of the Mueller report.”
