Impeachment Isn't Supported by Evidence or the Electorate

The Democrats are now pursuing what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mischaracterizes as "An official impeachment inquiry" without evidence of presidential wrongdoing and precious little support from the electorate.

More ominous for the Democrats, enthusiasm for removing Trump was even lower among Independents, only 34 percent of whom support impeachment.

Since the Democrats captured their meager 18-seat House majority in 2016, the speaker has worked diligently to tamp down talk of impeachment by publicity-seeking Democrats like AOC. Pelosi's Tuesday pirouette indicates that her tenuous control over her caucus has all but disappeared.

There has been no House vote to authorize a formal impeachment inquiry.

The last time the House held an actual vote to authorize a genuine impeachment inquiry was on July 19.

Pelosi's Tuesday language was carefully calculated to permit these poltroons to tell their constituents they support removing Trump without forcing them to vote for impeachment.

The Democrats had to recalibrate their impeachment strategy on Wednesday when President Trump voluntarily released the unredacted transcript of his July conversation with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
