Nancy Pelosi has always known that being right too soon is often fatal in politics

and that Dems would only get one shot at impeachment.

With 7 moderate National Security Dems coming forward strongly,
the stars may now be aligning.

The "Hold" scene in "Braveheart" comes to mind

... when assessing Pelosi's position

I doubt that anyone in this country wants to see Trump go down more than Nancy - and she knows how to 'hold' until exactly the right moment.

I'd never want to play poker with Nancy Pelosi. But playing against Trump is about the only thing I'd sit down with him for; his bluffing is way obvious, and no way he could convince anyone that his pair of deuces beats a royal flush, no matter how loudly he'd whine that Hoyle is fake news.
