Pressure is mounting for House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler to launch impeachment proceedings, but the New York Democrat is weighing dueling loyalties to eager members and to Speaker Nancy Pelosi
The discussions boiled over in a series of tense meetings Monday night, with Nadler ultimately siding with Pelosi, a California Democrat. But Nadler told Democrats on his panel he was sympathetic to their calls to open up a formal impeachment investigation, something that Pelosi rejected in the private meetings.Still Democrats say Nadler will not buck Pelosi, and would only move forward with an impeachment inquiry if she were on board."He's in a very difficult position," said Rep.
"Republicans on the committee have accused Democrats of trying to make it appear as though they are conducting impeachment proceedings without actually taking that step. And Pelosi has suggested that the President is trying to goad Democrats into beginning impeachment proceedings -- which could be a boost to his re-election chances by rallying his base against impeachment.
