In reply to the discussion: Pelosi says impeachment 'not a priority' after Cohen's guilty plea [View all]BlueWI
(1,736 posts)102. How about this
"If the criminal convictions of Manafort and Cohen indeed implicate the president, there may be grounds for bipartisan action to protect election integrity and defend the Constitution, as all elected representatives are sworn to do. At this time, I don't see grounds for impeachment, but the investigations must continue."
That would show some resolve and honestly acknowledge the level of national crisis we are approaching.

If Pelosi calls for impeachment, then she becomes the story - instead of Trump's crimes.
