Washington • House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she believes President Trump “has been involved in a criminal cover-up.” Too bad she’s not in a position to do something about it.
Oh wait, she is. If she truly believes the president has committed crimes, if she truly believes he has violated his oath of office, if she truly believes he is trampling the Constitution, she can have the House begin a formal impeachment inquiry. But she won’t.
When Pelosi says that most House Democrats do not favor launching a process that could lead to impeachment, she’s telling the truth — but not the whole truth.
