Pelosi and others dismissed Trump’s threat to abandon bipartisan legislation if the investigations continue as it a temper tantrum. Maybe. Or maybe we it was an incredible act of political jujutsu.
Since the release of the Mueller Report House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s been straddling a thin tightrope, caught between most of her caucus, who want President Donald Trump removed from office through any means at their disposal, and most of America, which has grown tired of the whole thing.
As of now, there are at least a dozen and probably more investigations into the president’s conduct, the findings of the Mueller Report, his business activities, and his tax records. He’s not far off the mark when he suggests this kind of scrutiny is unprecedented, at least in most of our lifetimes. And as he indicated Wednesday when he cut the rope out from underneath Pelosi, he’s fed up.
While Trump stands firm, and we know he can, Pelosi can’t stick to the middle. She’s got to decide to between being a “good cop” and getting on with the people’s business to protect the Democrats sitting in moderate, suburban seats they took away from the Republican in 2018 to make a new majority, or she’s a “bad cop” on the side of most of her caucus and her senior leadership.
Trump’s opponents had hopes early in the week a GOP snowball might have begun rolling down Capitol Hill after Michigan GOP Congressman Justin Amash become the first major elected official to state a belief the president was guilty of impeachable offenses. A member of the Freedom Caucus, his comments were seen at first as a break in the red line integral to the White House’s defensive strategy. But no one followed him, at least no one of any import. Even Utah Sen.
