nancy pelosi. what does she have as a top line this morning? >> nancy pelosi held her weekly press conference. she does it every thursday. she started by talking about policy, making the point that house democrats, she says, have passed 275 bills that have effectively died on the desk of majority leader mitch mcconnell, the top senate republican. she talked about that and then the news of the day, which is impeachment. she didn't give much in the way of a timeline. i'll get to that later. i asked her about this point. there was a time -- it's hard to belief n believe now -- there was a time when nancy pelosi wouldn't utter the phrase impeachment inquiry because she didn't fully embrace it and she thought to say that phrase in public would give it relevance and significance. she said that one of the reasons she was cautious about approaching impeachment, this is well before september 24th when the formal inquiry was announced, she said it was a long and arduous process, that democrats would expend a metric ton of political capital knowing
