[Vision2020] Political storm around Trump leads to 'talk of impeachment' — but it's not likely

[Ron Force]

"House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says impeaching President Donald
Trump is “not a priority” for Democrats despite the conviction of Trump’s
former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and the guilty plea of his former
lawyer, Michael Cohen.

Pelosi tells The Associated Press that “impeachment has to spring from
something else.”

Pelosi says she prefers for Democrats, if they win the House in November,
to conduct oversight and ensure Special Counsel Robert Mueller can finish
his work.

She says: “If and when the information emerges about that, we’ll see. It’s
not a priority on the agenda going forward unless something else comes
forward.”...

Pelosi underscored that message in a letter sent to caucus members on
Wednesday, urging them to keep talking about the “cesspool of
self-enrichment, secret money and ethical blindness” and how House
Republicans are turning a “blind eye to the corruption and criminality at
the heart of President Trump’s inner circle.”

Corruption scandals have helped swing midterm elections in the past, and
beyond Trump’s legal troubles, this message was bolstered by recent
corruption charges against Representatives Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter.
But Pelosi emphasized that Democrats “must also stay focused on delivering
our strong economic message to hard-working families across America.”
