Pelosi has painter herself and her entire party into a corner.

you do realize this is the FOURTH impeachment vote the house has taken since Trump has been in office?


It's all about optics for their libtard base, making it appear they tried everything to defeat the bad orange man.


Meanwhile, the country is prospering under Trump's leadership!!!

If Nancy doesn't forward the article's

Then the ellection will be more like a referendum

Trump can then tell ppl why he think Nancy is a criminal

By exposing her and others crimes

All the while promising to prosecute if re ellected

It's all winning all the time now for team trump

Well thought out, OP.

My remaining question is whether McConnell has the means to force the situation in some way to effectively remove the sword of Damocles during the first few months of 2020.
 Quoting: Larry D. Croc




I have read that some people suggest that the real reason for Pelosi's sudden "no-urgency-anymore" stance is so that in case RBG FINALLY kicks the bucket they won't have to accept any nominee from an "impeached" President. So, if McConnell DOES have a way to either force it or roundfile it he'd better do it pretty soon, otherwise there'll be all sorts of vacancies on the Supreme Court if Pelosi succeeds in holding the paperwork for the next five years!
 Quoting: Eggcellently Deplorable


The impeachment articles become null and void when the next Congressional session begins.

SCOTUS is going to force Pelosi to turn it over or hold her in contempt. This forces Pelosi to either follow their order or make her have to vote to dismiss the articles. Either way the democrats look more foolish than they do now.

And yet, last night on the Dem Debates they were all going on and on about how BAD the economy is, Biden said he was willing to shitcan hundreds of thousands of jobs in order to go to AOC's "Green Economy", and when reminded of the actual facts about the booming Economy, Warren blurted out "Well, they're just WRONG!"

It's like they're running on an alternate planet or something.

That depends on how President Trump tells McConnell he wants to proceed.

Pelosi herself can now be charged with:

1) Obstruction of Congress; for failing to send the Articles to the senate.

2) abuse of power; for delaying the process indefinitely.

I would even suggest that Schiff could as well be charged as well for those same reasons

1) Obstruction of Congress; for refusing to allow the minority a day to call their desired witnesses and hear testimony

2) abuse of power; for using the phone records of a sitting member of congress in his report

It's almost as if they want to be tarred and feathered for what they have done.

Re: Bold Prediction: Nancy Pelosi will never allow a senate trial of President Trump to happen.
At the risk of having the full GLP effect come down on me like a herd of monkeys trying to hump a doorknob, I submit to you that there is no way Pelosi will ever send the Senate the articles of impeachment.

Here's why:

1) Adam Schiff illegally got the telephone records of the president's lawyer, Rudy Guiliani, journalist John Solomen, and republican congressman Devin Nunes and included them in his impeachment report; opening a huge can of worms for Pelosi. If those articles go to the senate it will be Schiff's actions on trial and the president's lawyers will be allowed to cross-examine Schiff on the witness stand even if he is one of the house managers sent to present their case for impeachment. What Schiff did was almost just as bad as the FBI's electronic surveillance of the Trump campaign and Pelosi knows it was so bad that Schiff refused to show up before the Judiciary committee to submit his report.

Sending the articles of impeachment to the senate would ensure everything Schiff has done would become the CenterPoint of the Senate trial.

2) The Democrats' case is barely strong enough to put to paper because Schiff failed to use all the powers of the courts to compel the White House to provide the witnesses Schiff says he wanted to appear in his secret sex dungeon beneath the capital building. Schiff also screwed up by refusing to allow White House counsel to attend advise and defend any member of the Trump administration Schiff had on his shortlist to grill like a hotdog at an Ed Buck costume party.

Sending the articles of impeachment to the senate would ensure everything Schiff did not do would become another CenterPoint of the Senate trial.

3) The House impeaching Trump was a purely political act meant to pacify those liberals in Congress and in the Democrat party that were a curly little pubic hair away from revolt and the removal of the makeup-stained gavel from Pelosi's hands. Pelosi has bet the final years of her career in the hope that having articles of impeachment hanging over Trump's head during his re-election campaign will be a modern-day sword of Damocles that who gets the democrat nomination can point to as proof Trump should not be President again.

If Pelosi had any sense of how Trump looks at things she would know that he will turn her threat to send the articles of Impeachment to the senate into one more another reason to vote for him even if she does send those articles to the senate in next October.

Sending the articles of impeachment to the senate would ensure everything Pelosi has done would become yet another CenterPoint of the Senate trial.

4) The only people in America that haven't figured out that this is just a political stunt by Pelosi are the "Orange man bad" crowd screaming reeeeee into the paper bag of paint fumes they are huffing. Pelosi never meant for this to go anywhere but into her desk drawer as yet another insurance policy for the democrats in case Trump gets elected again is another record landslide win over the democrats.

Sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate would ensure that Republicans will retake the house in 2020 and holding on to them will ensure that a Republican speaker of the house can quietly round file them when Pelosi is forced to step down or retire.
 Quoting: Herbert George Wells



Possibly...
I suspect they are planning to smear the President to the point that the winds change then send it to the senate. They are waiting until the senate wants him gone.

That would come out too, in a senate impeachment trial. Put Trump on the witness stand, he'll be happy to explain all he knows from the IC community about all the DNC criminal and treasonous that is now classified.

As president he can declassify his testimony as he speaks and has the country's full attention without media spin.

From what I heard yesterday, and there were numerous guesses, they can still hold the trial BUT without the articles it’s just a empty verdict

She can hold on to them as long as she wants too, meaning she could send them over whenever they regain the senate

Re: Bold Prediction: Nancy Pelosi will never allow a senate trial of President Trump to happen.
The American Grand Jury is quietly waiting for certain additional elected government officiaL and certain additional appointed government officials to commit the overt act that triggers the writing of bills of attainder for treason.

One of the powers that is forbidden to congress is the writing of a bill of attainder
for treason.

There are 5 kinds of grand juries.
1. county 2. state 3. federal 4. federal special and the American Grand Jury.

Most officials do not know about the AGJ because they operate in secret.

U.S. v. Williams, 504 U.S. 36 (1992) - (Court held: (1) that a court cannot force a prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury that shows the person they’re investigating may NOT have committed a crime; (2) that courts have very little power to intervene in grand jury proceedings because grand juries are not part of the court system but are in effect a fourth branch of government, separate and apart from the judiciary, the executive branch, and the legislature.)

The American Grand Jury even has the full legal and lawful authority to write a attainder for treason upon a member of the Supreme Court.

U.S. v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338 (1974) - (Court held that a grand jury can consider evidence that was obtained unconstitutionally, in an unlawful search and seizure, because the exclusionary rule does not apply to the grand jury.)

She may be holding them back until after the election to see if the Democrats win a majority in the Senate. There is no point in her sending them over as long as the Republicans are in control.

Plus, the Democrats could use the situation as a major talking point during the election:
"You can't vote for someone who is going to be impeached as soon as you elect him."
 Quoting: Spiritmyst




The President can bring it to the Supreme Court; being denied the Right to a speedy trial, being denied the Right to face his accuser(s).

The "impeachment" was such a farce, that President Trump was denied ALL DUE PROCESS and the Supreme Court can toss it out on that basis.

The longer pelosi delays the worse it looks for the dems.

Trump has all year to expose how deeply exposed the very top dems were in Ukrainian/obama corruption.


REMEMBER, ALL OF THIS is being done to keep the corruption of obama and his pawns still hidden from the mass brainwashed American and world public.

Sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate would ensure that Republicans will retake the house in 2020 and holding on to them will ensure that a Republican speaker of the house can quietly round file them when Pelosi is forced to step down or retire.

I agree, and enjoyed the flourishes throughout!

It's a hill Pelosi will die on politically and it will kill her and the Democrats politically as well.

What she is missing is that it's a simpler argument to grasp that Pelosi is arguing against holding the trial. That 180 degree flip doesn't make any sense to the vast majority of the people, and they will express their displeasure next November.

The Democrats are already paying a huge price in the public's eyes. I suspect the Democrat members of the House will be reporting back to her exactly that.

Re: Bold Prediction: Nancy Pelosi will never allow a senate trial of President Trump to happen.
I don't think Nancy can prevent a trial and/or aquittal if McConnell decides to move on it. She blew her wad by forcing the impeachment resolutions. Now it's out of her hands.

It really doesn't matter if she sends the impeachment resolutions to the senate. McConnell makes the rules.
