President Donald Trump has set his strategy for the impeachment fight with House Democrats — minimum cooperation, maximum confrontation. Whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats have learned how to counter him is the big question.Trump dramatically upped the political ante on Tuesday, with White House counsel Pat Cipollone blasting the Democrasts’ impeachment inquiry as “illegal” and “dangerous,” and insisting the administration won’t cooperate with a probe it considers constitutionally improper....
That's about the end of the content, until we get to the last graf.
...Even as Democrats have moved into a new investigative phase with their rapidly advancing impeachment inquiry, Trump has shown no signs of letting up, ensuring the constitutional clash will only ratchet up.
Strangely missing is the magic formula: the House MUST vote on a formal impeachment inquiry before it becomes a "crisis," Constitutional or not.
Trump is trying to get that formal vote out of Nancy. Nancy is doing her damndest to avoid it--because not all of her caucus wants impeachment AND because then the Republicans may also play in that sandbox. That will be a lot more fun to watch, no?
So no matter what Politico says--there's no there there.
