Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, others at the top of the chain in the party are just wanting to ride out the wave. Which was at its biggest peak earlier on. When Mueller's letter came out contradicting Barr's conclusions. That wave has now gotten lower, but new scandals keep it rising and lowering as it moves towards shore (2020)

Pelosi is hoping to ride out that wave, the calls for impeachment, until its smaller, whatever current kept it up diminishing daily in the news cycle. Until finally its small enough, and it is too close to shore to start. I can hear it now...."Too bad, maybe we should have, but its too late now, oh well. Never mind, we now have to focus on the upcoming election!" And of course we will all fall in line, because at that point, what other choice is there?

It will be the election of the cowards vs. the criminals. And I'm not convinced that American voters, or enough of them, will be impressed by either. Keeping the next election a toss-up.
