If the House obtains evidence that implicates Trump in criminal acts — either through their own investigations or through Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s — and still don’t go forth with the process as stated in the Constitution, they are not only in abdication of their duties, but they violate their own standards.

They ask voters to believe in a system of government, then ignore those rules when it suits their political convenience. All the while, the marginalized communities who suffer most under this president, the ones who cannot assume that they’ll have their vote counted in 2020, sit powerless as the House majority performs an elaborate show that will ultimately result in very few, if any, consequences for this president.

Not only does Pelosi’s statement mean that Trump has little to fear from actual impeachment, but he can now go on the stump and lie, as he has done countless times before.
