Monday on MSNBC’s All In, former DNC chairman Howard Dean called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s strategy for impeaching President Trump “brilliant.”
“I’m one of the few people who was actually around when Nixon was impeached,” Dean said. “This is exactly what happened. They were very careful. They were very deliberate. They didn’t go beyond the facts that were known, and the groundswell grew.”
“I think what Pelosi’s doing is brilliant, actually. She’s letting the momentum build. I don’t think she’s resisting it as much as you said she was,” he added. “I think it’s strategic patience. Look, Pelosi has not missed a step. She’s the one person who has got Donald Trump’s number in Washington. She hasn’t missed a step yet… I think Pelosi’s playing her hand exactly right.”
