Rush is right. The dems know they can't beat Trump in the next election, so they're laying the groundwork for impeachment in his next term. While Mueller won't be able to provide the ammunition they want, they're hoping to dig something up with their own witch hunts...I mean investigations.

I don't think Rush is right about that. 
If Trump wins in 2020, his coattails will probably bring Republican majorities in both houses. Any ammunition that Democrats find by investigation will not be very useful with them locked out of power at the federal level. They would have to be counting on Republicans in the House or Senate to cooperate with their investigations, and they have no reason to count on that. It's not 1974. We are much more partisan now.

Nancy announced this because she is pretty confident in Democrats chances of winning in 2020.
She feels that having her people air out Trump's dirty laundry in Committees helps her party's chances, but that actually bringing articles of impeachment could make the President into a martyr.
