How Likely is it Trump has Threatened Nancy Pelosi or Her Family?

While the world is giving Republicans a pass for cursing us with Trump, and given Trump's history of ugly threats against anyone who crosses him and, further, given the truly terrible ways the Russians act out against their enemies, I'm guessing there may be more to Pelosi's decision to not open an impeachment inquiry at this particular time. There is always much that happens in Washington behind closed doors. I have every confidence that Nancy Pelosi is doing everything she can given the full circumstances.

Trump is a baby man. He cowers in fear from those who stand up to him.

I think Trump or Russia is using blackmail on some Republicans, but threat is abnother story.

I don't know why it is that we discount these public false accusations and hate-filled rants he makes in public as any less the threat than some utterance made one-on-one or by phone. Such comments have already fueled extremists to go after other Democrats and media personalities...
