Analysis: Pelosi tamps down rising Democratic cries on Trump impeachment
an impeachment inquiry now that former White House counsel Don McGahn didn't show up to testify on the Hill. That undercuts the issues-based agenda he is supposed to be pushing as head of House Democrats' messaging arm. Other members of Judiciary, such as Reps. Jamie Raskin , Steve Cohen , and Madeleine Dean , have also called on Chairman Jerry Nadler and Pelosi to move ahead with the impeachment process.
“It’s time for Congress to open an impeachment inquiry. There is political risk in doing so, but there’s a greater risk to our country in doing nothing,” Rep. Joaquin Castro “There are a lot of members that agree that we can do both things and don’t have to make a choice” between legislating and oversight, another Democratic House aide explained. Voters “expect us to do our job and do oversight. We have seen the polling on that . . .
“What do you want to be the evening news from here on out to be about?," the pollster added. “Impeachment? Congressional hearings? Or health care and reducing prescription drug costs? That’s the bottom line. Key: “When we ask about beginning impeachment proceedings, the intensity goes in the opposite direction: 29 percent are very favorable, but 38 percent are very unfavorable.”“Pelosi has maneuvered Trump into a really dangerous place for him politically, since now he is the one who is refusing to work with Democrats on infrastructure because he doesn’t want Congress to hold him accountable,” Garin told Power Up.
Rep. Jimmy Gomez who has been spearheading the conversation on regulating facial recognition technology on Capitol Hill, told Power Up that Amazon is “avoiding responsibility” when it comes to answering crucial questions of the surveillance technology.
