“To watch what happened in the White House would make your jaw drop,” Schumer said.
VERY, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE ARTICLE ONE BODY OF THE CONSTITUTION. WE THE PEOPLE WILL SEE JUSTICE PREVAIL - NO CROOK IS ABOVE THE LAW !!
Pelosi said Democrats had been prepared to deliver a signature accomplishment to Trump at a time when the nation’s roads, bridges, airports and other infrastructure are ailing.
“For some reason, maybe it was lack of confidence on his part . . . he just took a pass, and it just makes me wonder why he did,” Pelosi said. “In any event, I pray for the president of the United States, and I pray for the United States of America.”
Trump was visibly angry when he arrived in the Cabinet room about 15 minutes late to meet with Pelosi and Schumer, according to people familiar with what transpired. Trump did not shake hands or sit down, and after accusing Pelosi of saying something “terrible,” he headed out without allowing time for a response.
Not mentioned by Trump were the indictments against 34 people, including six former Trump aides or confidants, as well as 26 Russians, that resulted from Mueller’s nearly two-year probe.
A growing number of rank-and-file Democrats have called for the launch of an impeachment inquiry against Trump as frustrations build over the administration’s stonewalling of congressional probes.
But during Wednesday’s meeting of House Democrats, most of the chairmen who addressed the caucus focused on recent successes in court battles to force the administration to comply with subpoenas and counseled the more measured course advocated by Pelosi, according to multiple people in the room.
The meeting “reflected where most of this caucus is at,” said Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.). “Have faith in the courts and have faith in process, and impeachment only if absolutely necessary.”
I think everyone recognizes that this isn’t just about Donald J. Trump, but it’s about protecting the rule of law in this country and the implications it has for the future of our democracy.”
Since taking control of the House in January, Democrats have passed several legislative measures, including bills on health care and ethics reform, that have not been taken up in the Republican-led Senate.
