Speaker Nancy Pelosi made news last week, declaring her opposition to impeaching President Trump. “Impeachment,” she said, “is so divisive … unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan … it’s just not worth it.”

Before discussing why Pelosi made this announcement, at this juncture, let’s take a diversion and consider who broke the story. For mild payback, I’ll tell you it was first reported by liberal outlets. Actually, I know precisely who got it first, but my vague “first reported by liberal outlets” deliberately fuzzes the truth that it was the Washington Post.
