.MaddowBlog: Why it matters that Speaker Pelosi wants to see Pres. Trump ‘in prison.’
As the intra-party debate over Donald Trump’s possible impeachment continues to unfold in Democratic circles, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met privately yesterday with five committee chairs, each of whom are investigating White House controversies. One of the leaders, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler reportedly pressured Pelosi about opening a possible impeachment inquiry.
They said she was expressing solidarity with pro-impeachment Democrats who want to hold the president accountable while disputing the idea that it is now time to take that step. Pelosi has long argued that certain conditions must be met before Democrats begin impeachment – public support and strong bipartisan backing, neither of which have so far materialized.
As we’ve discussed, Trump has been implicated in a variety of alleged crimes, though as far as the Justice Department is concerned, Trump is shielded from prosecution so long as he’s in office. If he were to lose in 2020, however, that shield would disappear, and the prospect of an indictment would become quite real.
