Breaking On The "Impeachment" Front: Pelosi, China
Apparently just a few minutes ago, according to Breitbart , Nancy Pelosi rejected President Trump's demand for a full House vote on whether to authorize an impeachment inquiry. Of course, Trump had put her in a box--she couldn't accede to his demand, but now she's hardened into an unreasonable position. Smart move by Trump, IMO. Trump has said he won't cooperate with House subpoenas until an inquiry is authorized by the House--which makes him look pretty reasonable.
Also, there's a CNN report out claiming to reveal the details of a Trump phone conversation with China's Xi. The report is phrased to suggest that Trump may have hinted that a Chinese investigation of the Bidens could be somehow tied to trade talks. But we already know how little relation to reality the Ukraine "leaks" were. The conversation was said to have been kept on a "highly secure server."
Pure speculation here, but I wonder whether the story of a CIA officer detailed to the White House may be a cover story. That the leaker may be in the WH still and feeding stories to the CIA for use against Trump. Or maybe the leaker was until recently in the WH.
