WASHINGTON - Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that House impeachment managers were preparing to prosecute President Trump in the Senate, but she refused to offer a timeline for when they would move forward with a never-before-attempted trial of a former president.
At a news conference two days after the House impeached Mr. Trump in a bipartisan vote, Ms. Pelosi made clear that her first priority was ensuring the security of the Capitol and lawmakers before President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration on Wednesday.
But growing emotional at times as she recounted seeing the image of a rioter barging through the Capitol in a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt, Ms. Pelosi vowed accountability would soon follow for Mr. Trump, whom the House charged with “incitement of insurrection” for his role in instigating a violent mob that stormed the building. She also pledged to pursue the perpetrators of the rampage as well as far-right lawmakers if they were found to have aided in the assault.
“One week ago, on Jan. 6, there was an act of insurrection perpetrated on the Capitol of the United States, incentivized by the president of the United States,” she said. “One week later, Wednesday to Wednesday, that president was impeached in a bipartisan way by the House of Representatives - so urgent was the matter. They are now working on taking this to trial.”
The speaker’s decision to delay sending the article was reminiscent of a similar maneuver a year ago, when she waited almost a month to press charges against Mr. Trump after the House voted to impeach him the first time for pressuring Ukraine to smear Mr. Biden. This time, though, Democrats in both chambers involved in the impeachment case said they expected the delay to be brief.

No, she won’t go after her minions. But, if the impeachment farce proceeds to a trial in the Senate under Schumer, I believe it opens the hearing to Trump being able to present evidence of the stolen election since the articles of impeachment claim Trump’s allegation of a stolen election was false. At least that is how it ought to work in a true just republic. I would love to see those senators forced to sit and listen to and see the evidence for election fraud that everyone has been avoiding for months now.
Aren’t lawyers Sanctioned and fined for that behavior.
I think one of two things is true with Nancy. 1)Either she is bat$hit crazy or 2)she has the hots for POTUS. She is just like the little boy who torments the little girl by pulling her pigtails to get her attention. She is just trying to turn his attention to her!!!
If she releases this, it’s one
more item in the treason column.
Lol
Pelosi’s waiting for another pandemic to spread before she passes on the Article of Impeachment to the Senate.
It worked like a charm last time she withheld them. The last pandemic was, as Jane Fonda noted, a “gift from God” to the Democrats.
The more they attach President Trump, the higher his ratings go. The more time them spend attacking him, the less time they have for destroying our country. Works for me.

You make it sound like laws still apply. Law died. Force applies.
Her fancy custom pen order delayed by COVID!
They're going to lose the House sooo bad in 2022, and when they do their Articles of Impeachment go up in smoke.
Last time she did this, it was to distract from the beginning of covid.
What’s it this time?
This question may need editingAt least they didn't put up the stupid Twitter disclaimer about there being no evidence that the election was stolen.
This question may need editing to correct phrasing or other mistakes, including:
• Spelling and grammar mistakes
• Not phrased as a complete question
• Not clear what the question is asking
“We must impeach to find out what we’re charging him with!”
You made me LOL. Thanks! She is so stupid.
“that president was impeached in a bipartisan way by the House of Representatives - so urgent was the matter”
She means unipartisan way.
They REALLY want to permanently keep him out of POTUS and/or the Senate. The kook from Hawaii today said that is what it is all about.
I’d LOVE to see him in the US Senate! Shake that old club up!
A half bottle of Jack will definitely make you weepy. 😉
Ya know..in another time I would absolutely argue with you about this but now?
Them bastards are nuts and they might just try it!
Wow, that that is one twisted and weird theory! That’s a first!
