Former Sen. Harry Reid Reverses On Impeachment

USA Today reports:

Former Senate majority leader Harry Reid, who as recently as last month cautioned Democrats about the perils of pursuing President Trump’s impeachment, now says the House should open an impeachment inquiry that might or might not lead to a formal effort to remove him from office.

“It’s not the right thing to do nothing,” Reid said in an interview Monday with USA TODAY. “It’s not the right thing to jump into impeachment without doing an inquiry.” The most important goal, he said, would be to “give the American people a view of what’s going on.”

The change in opinion by one of the nation’s most senior Democrats, a former five-term senator from Nevada who led Senate Democrats for a decade, reflects growing momentum within Democratic ranks behind some sort of impeachment effort.
