Do you think Speaker Pelosi was trying to open that impeachment door a little wider today?

It just seems to me that she's an intelligent woman who can read people pretty well.

Maybe she knew that he'd go off the rails...maybe open that impeachment door a little wider.

I think she's been gradually, skillfully and stealthily opening that door for some time StarfishSaver May 2019 #2

I think she used his own game to show him up. He would have walked out of the meeting regardless katmondoo May 2019 #5

...that could be used in attack ads to rev up the base.

It will come as no surprise to the base that pelosi thinks there's a cover up so nothing there. If she were to follow up and say - so we should impeach...now trump has his victim card....see what that mean nancy wants to do to me.

All that said, he and his lawyers (personal and government) know where this road is heading and I think they're started to realize things are going to be moving faster than they would like.

Knowing his antics and how he goes off the rails, she might have had an idea that he would behave like this given his history. Not the first time he's stormed out of a meeting.
