Pelosi blocked all impeachments and even investigations. No impeachment inquiry was permitted.
She tossed the Mueller Report in the trash.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.
