Pelosi: U.S. in constitutional crisis, several contempt charges being weighed
NBC "News" ^ | May 9, 2019 | By Rebecca Shabad (D-NBC)

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday that she agrees with a veteran Democratic lawmaker that the country has now entered a "constitutional crisis" — but said she still wants her party to be “methodical” in their investigations of President Donald Trump, rather than rush to launch the impeachment process.

“Yes, I do agree with Chairman Nadler, because the administration has decided that they are not going to honor their oath of office,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference, referring to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.

Asked how such a crisis is not changing her thinking or calculus on impeachment, the House speaker said that Democrats first have to go through the investigative process to uncover facts and the truth.

“This is very methodical. It’s very Constitution-based, it’s very law-based, it’s very factually based,” she said. “It’s not about pressure — it’s about patriotism.”

While Democrats are still trying to game out their next steps in the House, they are considering holding a package of contempt votes and sending them to the courts as a single package, according to Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill.

You can file your contempt charges all you like, but I believe Barr will be issuing indictments soon against the coup conspirators.

Hey, Nancy if you magically removed President Trump and Veep Mike Pence, who would become our president?

Do you think that all Americans are that suicidal?

“Constitutional Crisis”, n., Disagreement between a conservative president and a hostile Leftist House that wants to overturn the election — i.e., a disagreement with a press agent.

Geez, how many lies can Pelosi pack into two sentences?

She tosses around “constitutional crisis” and then says her party should be “methodical” in their Trump investigations.

That’s like your Dr. saying you’re in a critical stage of a disease, but we will carefully continue to check your condition.

It’s incendiary and irresponsible. It’s what someone unfit to lead does. It’s what a partisan hack does. It’s what a party is doing because they have NOTHING substantive to offer America.

Pelousy has gone totally insane. Refuses to deal with reality. Threatening people. Abuse of power. Claiming powers she manifestly doesn’t have. Nuts. Crazy disassociated. And dangerous. Needs intense immediate mental treatment in a protected evvirobmrnt

This needs to be spun into Democrats being in a Crisis the rest of the country is living their lives and doing their part to make the country great again.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants from time time Ms.Pelosi.

You don’t want to go down this road as you attempt to subvert the constitution and America with your illicit coup attempts.

Guess she’s kind of forgetting the President’s Constitutional authorites. They seem to believe that executive privilege is something President Trump made up.

Hmmm, a package of contempt votes sound like the Democrats going straight to contempt without even bothering with hearings. They must really be afraid if what will becoming out about the past administration and spying.

Of course this dumb bitch is simply waiting until the optimal time to impeach President Trump.

Likely sometime around the DNC convention next year I’m thinking.
