WASHINGTON - U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said after the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Thursday that impeachment of President Donald Trump was not worthwhile with an election coming up in 18 months. “Based on what we have seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point. Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months and the American people will make a judgment,” Hoyer told CNN.

Sour grapes! Now that this guy is got away with murder, You say impeachment is not worthwhile!

TRANSLATION: impeachment isn't possible because there is no evidence to support it. glad to see there are a few smart level headed democrats.

If you take that road,will be end of DEMs for sure.

That sounds like your personal opinion...def isn’t mine! impeachthebastard

So predictable

He’s all right I will only give him ammunition to the other side to get out there bass there is no upside

Not appropriate if the situation constitutionally calls for impeachment then Congress needs to do its job no matter the political fallout!

Yeah, LeaderHoyer, that's not going to work for us. You all need to finish the work that Mueller started--time to do some of that 'walking and chewing gum' and include impeachment conversations. And we want to hear from everyone involved in the investigation in hearings!

He’s right. Senate won’t convict. Time for Democrats to get behind ONE candidate and throw the lying mob boss out of office.

impeachment is only worthwhile if it is a clear cut victory...otherwise you run the risk of looking like you are simply sucking sour grapes

This is why Steny is not Speaker.

Establishment dems led by their leader Nancy have no guts. Do something or get out.

Go back to sleep

I guess when you've held office for so long as most, you lose that will to fight on behalf of your employers, the U.S citizens! Afraid of losing corporate and wealthy donors?

The Constitution says that?

LeaderHoyer Impeach. Get the truth out. Show USA what GOP will allow. Show oversight. If this behavior isn't grounds to start impeachment, what are you waiting for? It doesn't matter if Senate does not agree. The process is important to Americans.

Impeach the MFer

Yes because this was a HOAX, a COLLUSION DELUSION!

If it’s ‘not worthwhile’ to impeach you are shirking your oath of office. I hope you are primaried by someone willing to work!

Mueller, his team and other dedicated patriots across the world, didn’t work tirelessly and diligently for years to get to the truth so you could give up on our democracy so easily!!! The American people deserve the best and no less!! Lead or get out of the way!!

House democrat leader Hoyer : 'needed to retire a decade ago'

Dont agree. Impeach.

“I think frankly now it draws into question the Obama Administration’s lack of concern about Russia... My question is, where were the investigators and where was the protection at that point in time?” —RepDougCollins

It's nice to hear a truthful statement

Time to impeach.

Oh look. Another old white man not listening to the younger generation.

Maybe concentrate on the next election. Oops, but then you’d need a platform.

Failure of duty for oversight?

Correct. The 25th amendment. He is not fit for office.

To not impeach the criminal would be UNAMERICAN. LeaderHoyer

Fuck him, we need to do what’s right

'No worthwhile' = 'Would never in a million years succeed'

Democrats entire world fell apart today. I do not feel bad for them.

Hoyer has become useless.

TermLimitsFFS Take a seat LeaderHoyer, we got this‼️ HouseDemocrats RepJerryNadler

If Democrats don’t move to impeach they deserve what’s coming to them in 2020🤷‍♀️

Because you won’t win. Now you can keep crying wolf...

Removal via the vote is a better option. But can we 'educate' his base?

Translation: Trumpsupporters will f’k us at the poles. No they won’t - many of them are able to read too. It’s clear -

. .LeaderHoyer .SpeakerPelosi .HouseDemocrats THIS IS WHY IT MUST BE WORTHWHILE! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

AOC RepJerryNadler gbUSMC I suspect that there is a growing realization that personalizing 2020 is probably not the best course of action. The Democratic party needs to come up with some broadly popular policy proposals.

Try it jerk. Make fools out you jerks! Lol

No impeachment... that’s too easy. When he looses in 2020, jail time for obstruction of justice. WAY more satisfying. Guarantee that’s the plan.

Because they have zero evidence to impeach.

So Hoyer. What Teump got on you? Or are you a red state democrat?

If the Dems don't seek impeachment, then it's clear they haven't changed at all and people won't turn out to vote for them in 2020. Then when Trump wins again the establishment Dems will be sobbing 'We don't understand why we didn't win!'

So sorry it is inconvenient to be responsible for upholding the Constitution and the rule of law..... Maybe the GOP will ? Oh, wait....

Steny Hoyer's not worth it

Please, we the people will tell you what is worthwhile .

Guess the fresh faces didn't get the memo then...

This is like saying putting a murderer on trial is not worthwhile. CRIMES WERE COMMITTED! JESUS!

For democracy's sake, I beg to differ. Be like Bezo and stand up to Trump! Otherwise, what kind of check/balance are u when our democracy's under attack?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM?!

Complicit.

Wrong. It is time to impeach.

Maybe not 'worthwhile', but the right thing to do and your constitutional duty

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Impeaching in the house doesn't mean shit if you don't have the Senate to kick Trump out. Republicans will NEVER turn on this dumpster fire because it would mean losing their base. They want to be reelected more than protecting the country.

Wrong

Then we deserve him

If you want to primary LeaderHoyer Please support his opponent here
