Months after taking control of the House on a promise to hold President Trump accountable, Democrats are signaling that they’re unlikely to pursue impeachment, lowering expectations that the special counsel’s report will spur an immediate attempt to unseat the president.that impeachment is too divisive to pursue “unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan.”On Tuesday, rank-and-file Democrats largely fell in line.
The strategy — a milder version of which was deployed during the 2018 midterm campaign — is based partly on a fear that the Mueller report will not provide overwhelming proof of collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice, according to several Democrats who did not want to be identified discussing the party’s game plan.
“He has committed impeachable offenses, undoubtedly. That is a guarantee at this point,” said Rep. Katie Hill . “Really what it’s about is if we’re going to do anything with impeachment, we have to have Republican support.… For Republicans to move, we have to get the American people to move, and I think that’s what we’re seeing happen.”
