Lawfare: What if the House held impeachment proceedings and nobody noticed?

32. Pelosi is trying to avoid impeachment to protect her caucus

To answer your questions:

From what I can tell, Pelosi is trying to avoid impeachment because many freshman members come from districts that went for Trump. And she and the freshmen fear that impeachment would hurt their reelection chances, a cautious decision informed by the Bill Clinton experience. Pelosi’s top goal is to preserve control of the House in 2020. I think this is over-cautious and that the message of Trumps corruption is incredibly politically powerful and hasn’t been communicated.

If she wasn’t trying to avoid impeachment, there would have been loud and flashy impeachment hearings for months. She’d have gotten anyone related to Trump corruption to testify: immigrant ex-housekeepers, anyone from the White House, Preet Bharara, Jim Comey, Sally Yates, Walt Shaub, Heritage people, Fed Soc people. She’d be investigating Kavanaugh and Barr and Acosta. She might have used the House’s power to arrest to enforce subpoenas. She’d get her caucus to go on TV with a unified message. All of that is within Dems power and they’ve chose not to do it to pass message bills that are DOA and that only CSPAN viewers have ever heard of.

Which actual insiders have been speaking out about any strategy and what are they saying?
