Washington (CNN) House Democrats huddled Wednesday as Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to beat back a growing revolt over her oft-stated resistance to the idea of impeaching President Donald Trump. The meeting came after days of increased public willingness by high-ranking Democratic leaders to suggest that impeachment is the right move and now a question of when, not if. Amid that rising furor, Pelosi continues to stick by her original assertion that impeachment is not the right move for her party -- at least not right now. So why does Pelosi believe so strongly that impeachment is a mistake -- even in the face of steady resistance from the White House to any and all requests made by House Democrats as they investigate the administration? The public doesn't (really) want it.
