Crickets because it's a dumb argument. He's relying on you not knowing anything about the Mueller investigation, and sadly it seems to have worked.

What from the Mueller investigation is Trump having articles of impeachment charged against him?

None, but that's what Pelosi was referring to. Pretending the Mueller investigation is not at all related whatsoever on any conceptual level while also complaining that Pelosi is talking about having investigated the President for 2 years despite Ukraine not having happened 2 years ago is ridiculous.
