Nancy Pelosi: Mueller Doesn’t Have to Indict Trump for Congress to Impeach Him
The Atlantic ^ | Edward-Isaac Dovere

Posted on 11/11/2018 9:00:22 AM PST by kevcol

“Recognize one point,” Pelosi told me during an interview in the conference room of her minority-leader suite in the Capitol late Friday: “What Mueller might not think is indictable could be impeachable.”

Pelosi said people should pray for the country as long as Trump is in charge. She’s not sure of his mental condition. She thinks he’s degraded the Constitution and American values.

VERY GOOD PLAN: throw the House in chaos before the Dem majority takes over.
Make it impossible for the House to function. Make Dems have to fight off prosecutions and calls for resignations.

HERE'S THE FIRST STAGE---The lame duck GOP majority should immediately:
<><> release names of House Congressman who used the tax-paid sex abuse fund,

<><> Trump should declassify the FISA reports ASAP,

<><> rerun the sordid details of the Democrats' House IT spy cabal.

<><> keep resurrecting the Broward/Palm Beach vote fraud details.

They are going to do it just to show that they can. They know it has no chance of succeeding. Payback for Clinton and Monica.

Maxine told Nancy that they were going to impeach Trump. Nancy said, ‘Oh goodie! You bring the crust and I’ll bring the peaches!’

I’d rather see Cindy Sheehan or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in that Speaker’s chair than Nancy Pelosi.

She’s right about this. Mueller has no authority over Trump whatsoever.

I doubt being the media arm of a political party rises to the definition of a free press.

I have long asserted that any segment of the "press" which is a de facto house organ for a political party is not entitled to First Amendment protections.

She’s not sure of his mental condition. She thinks he’s degraded the Constitution and American values.

That's not an impeachable offense.

If she thinks the President should be removed because of his mental condition, several things come to mind.

First, she is admitting by omission that there are no grounds for impeachment due to "treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors." That's pretty obvious to everyone already.

If she wants him "removed" because of "mental instability," she is forgetting that the 25th Amendment is operative in such cases and the House has no authority to start such a process. IIRC, removal of a sitting President under the 25th Amendment starts with a decision by the VP and a majority of sitting cabinet members that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.

That said, Nancy, have at it.

Impeachment is political process and the grounds are what they say they are. “High crimes and misdemeanors” can be something as trivial as putting Acosta in his place during a press briefing. If that is sufficient to get Trump convicted in the Senate, then they will run with that.

Impeach him for what?

For being Republican.

He was impeached, but not removed by Senate.

Yep. Slow motion suicide. Fire kindled by communists starting in the 60s and flames fanned by communists in the ensuing 50 years. There were some brief respites for Reagan and again in 2001.

House impeachment can be political with no crime involved. However the senate would need a verifiable crime and rock solid proof.

Collusion, although there wasn't any, is not a crime.

The dems are completely off their rockers. Unhinged and certifiably insane. None of them should ever be outside their padded rooms without direct supervision and enough Thorazine to keep them sedated and doing the Thorazine Shuffle.

She’s right. They can impeach Trump for being orange.

Hate crime laws were developed to allow the democrats to persecute their enemies.

Actually, Congress doesn’t impeach him. The House of Reps does.

Clinton was impeached and stayed in office.

And the 'rats have been waiting for payback.
They think this is their opportunity.

Hope they do try to impeach him. Will make 2020 much easier for President Trump to win.
Sux losing the house but losing people like Flake and others is worth the short time aggravation
