In reply to the discussion: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday appeared to tap the brakes on impeachment discussions, arguing [View all]Gothmog
(182,187 posts)15. From the article cited in the OP
Pelosi in her Monday letter took a shot at the GOP for its muted reaction to the Mueller report.
It is also clear that the congressional Republicans have an unlimited appetite for such low standards, she wrote. The GOP should be ashamed of what the Mueller report has revealed, instead of giving the president their blessings.
Pelosi also called on the GOP-controlled Senate to take up campaign finance legislation that passed the House earlier this year, which included sweeping ethics changes. On Sunday, the presidents legal team argued that it was acceptable for the Trump campaign to seek to benefit from Russias hacking of the Clinton campaign.
n light of the Presidents defenders arguing in defense of receiving and weaponizing stolen emails, we continue to press our Republican House counterparts to take up our pledge to refuse to use stolen, hacked, or falsified information in campaigns because the American people deserve honest debate, Pelosi wrote.

Take a page from the GOP playbook (except using reality instead of made-up nonsense)

She is not "tapping the brakes on impeachment." If anything, she is putting it on the table.

No. She is not saying that. She is in fact acknowledging the call for impeachment.

So those candidates lied to them and told them they would be able to get that passed?

That is not how HuffPo reads her statement. They said it was a "NOD TO IMPEACHERS"
