Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that President Trump is trying to goad Democrats into impeaching him in an attempt to rally his base ahead of the 2020 election.
House Democrats allied with Pelosi have been facing pressure from Republicans, who see an advantage in trying to highlight divisions among the left over impeachment.
"Trump is goading us to impeach him," Pelosi said at an “Inside Congress” event sponsored by Cornell University’s Institute of Politics and Global Affairs. "That's what he's doing. Every single day, he's just like, taunting, taunting, taunting, because he knows that it would be very divisive in the country, but he doesn’t really care. [He] just wants to solidify his base."
Pelosi noted that one of the articles of impeachment against former President Richard Nixon was for ignoring congressional subpoenas. House Democratic leaders are pushing for continuing with aggressive investigations of the Trump administration instead of rushing to impeachment proceedings, but have been stymied by the White House's resistance to complying with the probes.

Trollin' trollin' trollin'
Caught in that no-man’s land between Trump and AOC.
Nan is going to have a breakdown soon.
Nancy and her gang of thieves more than likely should be voting for war with Iran and Russia and not be worrying about ginning up hysteria and paranoia amongst their base of defectives.
Nancy’s attempt at 3-D chess is hilarious. The House GOP needs to drive that wedge as far as they can.
On what ground, there, Nancy? Impeach him because he won the election?
Your party is already a laughing stock (and becoming more and more so every day).
FU Piglosi.
Can’t handle a pubbie who won’t roll over for you, can you?
So much winning.
Nancy Pelosi pounds table.
Nan is groping and hoping....throwing it at the wall hoping something will stick.
When sanfrannan is the smartest person in your party, you know you are in deep, deep trouble.
You and your minions are the ones who broached the subject, just months after he was Inaugurated. Clueless beyotch.
I do not think they are that dumb.
I think it’s more that President Trump is creating situations in which the dems can’t get their act together.
Nancy’s good. I was wondering how she would get out of the impeachment trap she started. Now she claims Trump wants to be impeached but ‘we cannot fall for Donald’s trap’....... brilliant!
So now it’s Trump’s fault that the Dems are mentally ill?
As if the house GOP actually does anything at all ever.
Well, that is the only remedy to remove a President other than your 25th Amendment attempt that failed.
Presidents are immune from indictment or prosecution while in office. The remedy for criminal behavior by a president is impeachment and conviction.
But you are all talk and no action, Nancy.
“Nan is going to have a breakdown soon.”
Yeah, lately she’s been looking like she’s been “shot at and missed and $hit at and hit!” For an old hag, she has been looking fairly decent until recently, but I think that she’s too old to take the fire from her Leftists and not have it leave a mark. I hope they put her grave right next to Hillary”s, with a beer concession. That will save us a lot of transportation costs when going to “pay our respects.”
“...Every single day, he’s just like, taunting, taunting, taunting....ahhhh, but the strawberries, that’s where I had them - they laughed at me and made jokes...”
If that is what you think Nan, then don’t take the bait.
