David Axelrod on Impeachment: I Think There Are Great Risks for Democrats

AXELROD: "But I think there was this sense that the cynical political thing at this juncture would be not to act. That doesn’t mean there aren’t risks. I think there are great risks here, and no one really knows how this is going to play out. You could end up, in fact, invigorating the President’s chances. You could end up losing many Democrats in the House if people react poorly to this. And you can end up with a president reelected and unbridled in his power. And that’s I’m sure what Nancy Pelosi has been mulling over for months and months and months, but I think she was left with no choice today."
