Pelosi Pledges Impeachment Off the Table

This better be just some talk to defuse GOP talking points in the lead-up to the election, because taking impeachment off the table should never happen for any President, ever. It’s part of the constitution for a reason. The GOP took it too far in trying to impeach Clinton for hiding gifts under his secretary’s bed and lying under oath about trivial matters. But, when Waxman and Conyers start investigating we will decide whether the penalty is impeachment or something less.

Waste of time? Far from it. I agree with her that the Dems shouldn’t go racing in talking about nailing the President. They just need to do the oversight that they are sworn to do to protect the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. The facts will lead where they may.

Drudge has this up on his site, though. And that is what Pelosi wanted.
