House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had held over President Donald Trump's head the possibility of impeachment for his incompetent leadership of the country and the endemic corruption that became synonymous with his administration. But two days ago, the Democratic leader did an about-face. She didn't think impeaching Trump was "worth it," she said

Neither Pelosi nor Schiff is saying what has caused this sudden change of mind. But Leid Stories listeners offer some ideas.
