Impeachment Divide Grows Among Democrats

September 18, 2019 · 8:29 am ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “The impeachment divide between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler is growing. While they are putting on a united front publicly – and indeed, Pelosi has signed off on the Judiciary Committee’s impeachment-related work — the speaker feels like Nadler’s committee is getting out ahead of the caucus, which has created tension between the two longtime allies.”

“In fact, in one contentious meeting last week, Pelosi stunned lawmakers when she chided Judiciary staff for aggressively pushing impeachment even though it doesn’t have the floor votes yet… Pelosi was especially frustrated that she heard staffers had tried to convince at least one hold-out to back an impeachment inquiry.”

Pelosi added: “And you can feel free to leak this.”
