From tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors:
Also yesterday, Speaker Pelosi had some sort of conference-wide meeting, and essentially tamped down expectations of impeachment. Pelosi said, “[O]ur views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment,” she wrote. Which seems weird to me because the Mueller Report is already the documented findings. I don’t think they need to fact check that.
But I get it: the Dims must persuade the public that impeachment is a necessary step before they proceed. Because most ‘Murkins will NOT read the Mueller report, Pelosi is probably right that they need to have public hearings to overcome our moronic fellow citizens who only participate in democracy when it comes to voting for those awful talent shows on teevee.
