while she said, in effect, "not yet," the long term answer is still open, from what I heard on the clip.

As the party leader in the House, she kind of has to avoid rampant speculation and hyperbole based on innuendo and rumor. One thing she can do is count votes, and with a Repub majority, the votes aren't there and getting overly excited can work against us.

Besides, if we impeach now we might lose one of our best issues to run on next year. That's not "keeping our powder dry," that's strategy.

Again Pelosi did not say NO impeachment Madam45for2923 May 2017 #1
