Pelosi Says Articles of Impeachment May Not Be Sent to the Senate
Dailycaller.com ^ | December 18, 2019

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving open the possibility of withholding articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump until she is assured a fair trial in the Senate.

“So far we haven’t seen anything that looks fair to us,” Pelosi said Wednesday after her caucus voted to impeach the president. She was referring to what Democratic leadership plans on doing after the vote.

But the senate can pass a binding rules change that no article of impeachment can be heard after 30 days from passage....how or if that will play remains to be seen. Interesting though.

Pissed off minds too.

Pelosi said the reason they were rushing through impeachment is because letting Trump remain in office jeopardized our national security....now she’s pondering if or not to ‘delay’ sending the articles.....what a liar she is!

McConnell should call their bluff and just wait...and wait...and wait....let the d-rats die on the vine!

No need for that.

It’s is becoming clear it is orchestrated from both sides.

1218 is the super secret code to Launch the civil war against the Liberals. It should never be published on the internet! Oh, wait...

Maybe it’s a court nomination thing. I thought that would be the big excuse they would use to not accept the nominations of Trump in a 2nd term, ‘he’s an impeached President.’ I’m not sure what not sending it to the senate gains them though, seems like a PR disaster if it goes on for too long.

Not sure I agree....although the pressure is on both sides. Pelosi is holding the game up and could potentially do so until the primaries...She’d be dreaming but still it’s a card in her hand currently.

A thing that pisses people off needs a short moniker so they can use it to make a point. So, I submit:

1218
+++++
I like it. Good idea.

Dear Ms. Pelosi,
You have seven (7) days to hand over the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. If you fail to do so, we will consider the matter closed, and no further action will be taken by us. Merry Christmas.

Good call. Yes, the Senate has an obligation to demand all evidence. NOW.

The shoe is officially on the other foot.

SENATORS - time to support this POTUS.

Isn’t she like 80 years old? My Dad can no longer dress himself, only knows ‘me’ sporadically and can no longer use a bathroom without supervision and he’s 83.

Tick-Tock, Beotch!

I guess she’s afraid to meet her Maker, her being a staunch ‘catholic’ and all. Plus, she hasn’t finished her Satanic works on Earth quite yet!

*SPIT*

It is a great plan if they are trying to get President Trump reelected

How long can she do this? Can she hold on then bring to the Senate if for some reason the Dems take the Senate?

“What are we missing?”

That she is not rational. Just a hate filled witch. There is no conceivable scenario in which this benefits the dems.

Support for impeachment is low and dropping. The longer she keeps this alive the more seats she will lose.

Great summary of anti-Trump talking points and fake news narratives.
