Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, a Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encourages House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and "his minions" to continue their pursuit of President Trump “as if he’s the most significant threat to our national security instead of our adversaries." While some have pushed for impeachment, Pelosi, D-Calif., already has stated her opposition to launching impeachment proceedings, saying in an interview last week it would be “divisive” and “just not worth it." “The Constitution gives very limited authority for Congress to remove a president, impeachment. The founding fathers could have drafted the Constitution to say that Congress could remove the president if they just didn't like them. They cannot just put political party or their own political wishes above the electorate which viably elected the president of the United States,” Turner said.
