House Democrat Brad Sherman agrees, and on Thursday formally introduced impeachment measures against Trump. They are unlikely to get a vote on the House floor, at least for now.
Even if Democrats believe some of Trump’s actions clear the threshold of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” Pelosi has downplayed the prospects of impeachment, saying it’s “not something that I’m stirring the pot on.”
She wants special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian electoral interference — and possible collusion with Trump’s campaign — to run its course before Congress decides about taking such a serious step.
