OANN ^ | 10/201019 | David Shepardson

Posted on 10/19/2019 10:28:00 PM PDT by caww

Pelosi and other senior members of Congress held talks in Jordan on Saturday with King Abdullah II and other top Jordanian officials.

The U.S. delegation included the heads of key House committees including .. 'Eliot Engel', 'Bennie Thompson', 'Adam Schiff','Mac Thornberry'.

Pelosi said in a statement the visit was at “a critical time for the security and stability of the region… With the deepening crisis in Syria after Turkey’s incursion, our delegation has engaged in vital discussions about the impact to regional stability, increased flow of refugees, and the dangerous opening that has been provided to ISIS, Iran and Russia.”

She takes this “co-equal branch” thing a bit too far.

Since the “Natural Born” clause didn’t apply to Zero, and the Logan Act doesn’t apply to Pelosi, with all the harassment, and interference with Trump’s first term, I’m sure the Demonrats won’t mind if we declare his first term eligible for a “Do-Over”, and don’t count it as one of his two terms.

When the D’s want to go full retard, don’t forget that the guys with the guns usually win.

Isn’t foreign policymaking an executive power?

Divert the plane? Hell no, Trump should ORDER the plane and all protective details back asap WITHOUT her. Strand her ass overseas, de facto exile.

What Pelosi and her delegation did is purely criminal and she should be arrested upon her arrival back in the USA, if not sooner.

I wonder if they flew commercial. If they flew on a military plane, is it possible that Trump has access to their treasonous conversations while in the air?

If I read the Constitution correctly, the House of Representatives is not a co-equal branch of government. Congress (the House & Senate as a whole) is the legislative branch of government. You are right that she takes it too far.

What a silly question and when will learn that laws apply to the little people not the crooks, liars and thieves in DC

The question should be: What did the mission attempt to accomplish? Jordan’s Abdullah is a very weak reed and has very little control over his own Muslim Brotherhood. There seems to be some present hope of combining the West Bank with Jordan, but the number of Palestinians incorporated would only add to their number and reduce the importance of the King’s bedu constituency. Fortunately, most foreign nations understand that Congressional delegations are intended as ‘shopping tours’ and have very little real meaning.

There is no Logan Act because it is never enforced.

Kind of like they’ll never vote in term limits.

We have laws on the books that they don’t use and the criminals keep doing what their doing because they know they will not be used against them

So where are the transcripts of conversations with the King of Jordan? Oh right, no one is going to leak what was said by our Congress folks to a King. NO CIA, NSA, FBI, State Dept, Ambassadors, etc.

Yeah, Republicans, Barr, no one has the balls to charge Dems with Logan Act.

So what, nothing will happen. They will just get a letter of reprimand put in their files. The End.

Not to worry.

The king provided a video transcript of the meeting to President Trump. The President knows that the King listened and most importantly , told Nancy what he wanted and needed. Her message was largely disregarded

My view. The King is not a dummy.

He heard the President in Riyadh where the gilt edge red carpet was rolled out
