According to Politico, after the Robert Mueller's testimony in 2 televised hearings 37% of Americans still wanted impeachment proceedings to begin, while 46% still wanted the inquiry to stop and their legislators to refocus on the critical issues of the day: immigration, crime, health care, drug addiction, cyberterrorism and global trade.
In the impeachment saga of Richard Nixon, it was the hearings themselves that, over time, generated enough groundswell of outrage to move the needle of public opinion.
In June of 1973, one month after the inquiry began, only 19% of Americans were in favor of impeachment.
Democrats are hoping that their own hearings - the future ones at least - can do the same: spike the public appetite for impeachment enough to give House liberals the cover they need to continue gathering the "Underlying evidence" that will "Make the strongest case possible" against the president - even though they have no intention of proceeding on impeachment.
That's why she's stalling for "Not enough time," while Nadler and Schiff continue their exit strategy: sanctimoniously slow-walking their impeachment inquiry procession through the House, virtually guaranteeing that it will not lead to formal impeachment proceedings by year's end.
That's good news, of course, for the 100-plus Democratic House members who have publicly called for impeachment.
Who knows what provocative recordings Republican operatives might be able to find in the trunk of Omarosa Manigault's car - or what damaging-but-not-damning memos might be dropped off in Rachel Maddow's in-box - potential evidence that could reignite the tender consciences of House Democrats and pressure them to proceed with their impeachment inquiry into 2020?
