Politico reports:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi told senior Democrats that she’d like to see President Donald Trump “in prison” as she clashed with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler in a meeting on Tuesday night over whether to launch impeachment proceedings.
Nadler pressed Pelosi to allow his committee to launch an impeachment inquiry against Trump — the second such request he’s made in recent weeks only to be rebuffed by the California Democrat and other senior leaders. Pelosi stood firm, reiterating that she isn’t open to the idea of impeaching Trump at this time.
“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Pelosi said, according to multiple Democratic sources familiar with the meeting.
“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Nancy Pelosi said today, per @politico.
She’s right — Trump faces a likely indictment if he loses in 2020. Check out my column in @POLITICOMag tomorrow discussing what it would look like.https://t.co/WSjOc05veL

House Judiciary Chairman Nadler has pushed at least two times to open an impeachment inquiry but Speaker Pelosi has rejected his attempts. Instead, she told Nadler & several other Democrats, “I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison.”https://t.co/rBYDVldX1Q

“Instead of impeachment, Pelosi still prefers to see Trump defeated at the ballot box and then prosecuted for his alleged crimes, according to the sources.” https://t.co/xhGDrtwoij
