LMT: "Trump's lack of cooperation Sparks impeachment push"

https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Trump-s-lack-of-cooperation-with-Congress-sparks-13805488.php

WASHINGTON - Frustration among House Democratic investigators is intensifying after President Donald Trump's refusal to cooperate with congressional inquiries, leading some to privately question whether they should try to pressure Speaker Nancy Pelosi into launching impeachment proceedings.

Snip
Earlier this month, several lawmakers from the most liberal wing of the caucus had called for impeachment after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report. But Pelosi, D-Calif., fearing 2020 election fallout from such a politically divisive step, had asked Democratic investigators to hold off and continue their inquiries.

But Trump's no-cooperation stance is blocking that mission; his team has publicly directed administration officials to ignore House Democrats, prompting several of the more-establishment Democrats to favor pursuing impeachment in a notable shift on Capitol Hill. Pelosi makes the final decision

Evidently her standard is to get some GOP to agree. That will probably never happen. They would have done so already.

20 years before anyone sees the fully redacted report. What good was it...all that Mueller effort? And say someway, somehow Pelosi changes her mind.. waiting so long after the report, it just looks so desperate vs. being outraged, taking it seriously, and acting with immediacy. To me, that was the biggest failure.

When a Democratic President appoints a real attorney general, I believe it will come out.

The courts could also rule in the democrats favor.
