'Trump is goading us to impeach him,' Speaker Pelosi said. 'He knows that it would be very divisive in the country, but he doesn’t really care. He just wants to solidify his base.”
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Congress wheeled closer to a constitutional crisis Tuesday, as Democrats continued to struggle with what many view as competing impulses to impeach the president and to follow a more politically cautious path.
"I don’t think they expected that he was going to fight back as hard as he has. But he has every right to," said Giuliani, who does not represent the president on matters related to White House documents and personnel."If I represented him, I wouldn’t give them a damn thing that they didn’t earn. I’d want a court to say that’s a legitimate investigation."
Democrats and Republicans often point to the 1998 elections, when Democrats bucked midterm trends by picking up a net of five House seats while Republicans were moving toward the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, as evidence that a failed effort to remove a president can create a political backlash.
"This is not about politics, this is about the Constitution of the United States of America," she said."We took an oath not to try to protect Donald Trump, we took an oath to protect ... and serve the Constitution of the United States of America, and the way we do that is we begin impeachment proceedings now against this president."
