I’m just a simple unfrozen caveman, but isn’t this kabuki? Posturing by Dems, or at least many Dems, with no real intention of following through?

The majority of the House Democratic caucus now supports an impeachment inquiry against President Trump, with Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) becoming the 118th Democrat in the chamber to support moving to such proceedings.

“[President Trump] seems to think that Mueller’s performance wasn’t enough to trigger an impeachment inquiry,” the congressman wrote in an op-ed in the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Sorry, Mr. President, the question is no longer whether the House should vote to proceed with a formal impeachment inquiry. The inquiry has already begun.”

Eliot Engel, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, endorsed impeachment a few days ago, a notable addition to the ranks given his leadership within the caucus. Emanuel Cleaver, a senior caucus whip and an influential black Democrat, also now backs it. Are House Dems about to twist Pelosi’s arm and force her to go nuclear?
