As this feed demonstrates, the opacity of Pelosi’s thinking has bred confusion and angst. She owes it to *all* of us to explain her thinking, and her strategy. The doubletalk and head fakes are doing real damage.
Let her say, clearly: “In my judgment, the country is not ready for impeachment. For our party to initiate that process now would injure our chances in 2020. I will not authorize any formal impeachment inquiry until public support, on a bipartisan basis, is overwhelming.”
She might add: “In the meantime, we will pursue committee investigations in the name of oversight. I believe those investigations may produce evidence that will contribute to the evolution of public opinion and make it appropriate to broach a formal impeachment process.”
The standard “walking and chewing gum at the same time” spiel wd undoubtedly be tacked on at the end. The point is that she shd come clean. Right now, she’s prevaricating, bobbing and weaving and it’s harming her and the party. It has to stop.
