Pelosi has allowed far left radicals from districts that aren't remotely at risk to take over the House. Even she knew impeachment was going to be a bust that the president would capitalize on.

I don’t think that’s the case. My interpretation of Pelosi’s action is that Schiff convinced her that he and the whistleblower had the real goods on Trump.
If the whistleblower’s complaint were accurate, Trump would probably be impeached. I think Schiff convinced Pelosi that it was accurate. Maybe he even convinced himself, although I doubt that. So Pelosi signed on to impeachment and then Trump trumped them both by releasing the transcript. Game over.
