Barr’s summary vindicates House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s caution toward impeachment – By OAN Newsroom (OAN Network) / March 25 2019
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s cautions toward impeachment of the president are vindicated in wake of the attorney general’s findings of the Mueller report.
For months, she has warned impeachment is not a “magic wand” to quickly remove President Trump from office.
Pelosi faced mounting pressure from her fellow Democrats to push for impeachment, and has even been accused of setting the bar too high.

Just last week, the House speaker was fighting off those attacks from colleagues as she waited for results of the Mueller report.
“I have no idea nor should I have any idea what the Mueller report will say, but what I’m saying is from our standpoint, our day to day work, it’s not about him (President Trump) — it’s about the American people,” she stated.
Pelosi has always maintained unless the Mueller report comes out with clear and conclusive evidence, the Democrat Party is wasting its time.
