there are a number of points I want to bring up about Pelosi’s actions…

1) she didn’t have the votes to impeach early. Do I think she wanted to launch proceedings earlier… yes, but I think she was providing cover for her more reluctant members in swing districts that came in on the wave to come on board, in short taking the heat and being a good boss…. why wait? because to fail to have whipped the votes and have the vote die in Congress would have been a huge win for the GOP who would have mistakenly stated that it could never be brought up again, but in doing so, would have made the entire process that more difficult and made their claims of this just being a vendetta have more pull with the more gullible and the media for sure would have taken this angle…

2) by waiting, she essentially let Trump impeach himself, with his own words and deeds on the record in such a fashion that it was plain and open and no one could deny the crimes (unless they were getting paid to do so). This allowed those late to the party to climb on board with ample justification. She understood that Treump would likely do something just thi stupid and hadn’t she played him every step of the way where she had the legislative upper hand?

3) Thru the chain of events, it certainly looks like there will be ample grounds and evidence to also roll up a significant number of the Trump Administration, certainly Barr, Pompeo and Guilliani and possibly Pence and others

4) and she denied them the one weapon that the media would have lunged for, playing the woman with ambition card. By being reluctant and waiting, no one can accuse her of grabbing for power just to deny the GOP, now she looks like a savior rather than a striver.

would I have liked this to be done sooner, damn straight, I wanted that lying SOB and his gang of thieves out as soon as they came in, but I understand why it came down as it came down and as a bonus, it looks like we’ll easily have Barr and Pompeo for obstruction at a minimum and likely impeached for it as well.
