Washington Post: ‘I’m not for impeachment,’ Pelosi says, potentially roiling fellow Democrats
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in an interview that she opposes moving to impeach President Trump even though she believes he is “unfit” for office — her first definitive statement on the subject and one that stands to alienate members of her own Democratic Party who are intent on ousting the president.
“I’m not for impeachment,” she said in a March 6 interview conducted for a future issue of The Washington Post Magazine.
“This is news,” she added. “I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.”

Translation: “we’ll lose our asses off if we try it”.
She has honored Trump greatly just by announcing her decision without perhaps having read Mueller's report, maybe only a speculation of what it might say and her decision. She is doing her impersonation of Susan Collins, only her timing is way off.
