Nancy Pelosi on Impeaching Trump: 'He's Just Not Worth It'

[Honeycombe8]

183. I didn't say we had evidence NOW. If we don't impeach, then there's no point in the investigations.

I believe I said when the Mueller report comes in, and the invesigations get further along, and if there is evidence of impeachable offenses, he should be impeached.

Trump isn't going on trial. Forgeddaboutit. He's a President and will be a former President. He will never be tried in a criminal court. The most that can be done is impeachment (which, BTW, requires a far lower proof burden of impeachable offenses than a criminal indictment).

The duty of impeachment is not "as long as it doesn't have political ramifications for you."

Do you think the House debated long and hard about impeaching Bill Clinton "because it would be divisive" or "because the Senate won't also impeach"? Impeachment is a stain on Clinton's presidential record. It will always be there. THAT is part of the reason of impeachment, to tell future generations that the President committed a serious impeachable offense.

I don't see a point to any of the investigations if we don't impeach. It's a he-said, she-said. End of story. Trump remains President and may well win in 2020 (if that's what Russia wants).
