Pelosi on Impeachment: ‘When the Time Comes, We’ll See’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "Let me disagree with you on one thing. It hasn't been recent. I have always said that until we have the reports and the rest of that, that we shouldn't be spending our time on that. But we should be spending our time for the people, lower health care costs, bigger paychecks, cleaner government. We passed a gun safety bill, I'm very, very proud of that. We will be passing legislation to protect the DREAMers etc., and ending discrimination in our country. And ending the disparity in income in our country, saving our planet our from the climate crisis. Those are the issues that we should be spending our time on. At the same time, our committees of jurisdiction are exercising their constitutional responsibility to have oversight over the executive branch. Article One, the first — the legislative branch, the first branch of government co-equal to separation of powers from responsible to have oversight. Mr. Clay is on the committee of oversight, it's called government reform and oversight, but other committees have discrete oversight responsibilities as well. So that's how we should be spending our time to improve the financial stability of America's working families as we have oversight over the President. If and when we have — but when I said he's not worth it, it got your attention. I've been saying this for two years that he shouldn't be impeached. But when I said he's not worth it, then it got the press. And what is not worth is the financial stability of America's working families and that's what we're trying to correct. And when the time comes, we'll see."
