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.

She is right, except that Mueller can't indict him until he's impeached and removed from office. If congress wants to impeach him, they technically have the numbers. But they'll have to answer to the voters after they do that, and if they impeach on nonsense they'll really have to pay.

They do not have the numbers to convict and remove - not even close, under any circumstances. And Meuller can't indict him while he's a sitting president.

I can’t say I agree with your idea of fun. How can losing our freedom and liberty to a mob of socialist fanatics ever be fun? Sad or heartbreaking but hardly fun.

release names of House Congressman who used the tax-paid sex abuse fund,

For some strange reason, I doubt that the GOP congressmen would want that.

She’s technically correct.

The US Congress can define “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” any way they damn well please.

No violation of US Code need occur.

Anyone who believes otherwise is not educated.

Reckless ‘governance’ has brought down more than one regime, Nanny.

Impeachment is not a legal trial, it is a political trial.

The founding fathers made the reasons for an impeachment very vague, it pretty much is nothing more than a way to get rid of a President that no one wants which is why it requires two/thirds of both houses to remove a President. The Democrats will have to convince the Republicans who in term will answer to their base. Like him or hate him you must admit President Trump has a strong base that may not take to having him removed from office lightly.

As we seen with Clinton, his Impeachment did nothing to slow him down, and if the Democrats Impeach president Trump nothing changes other then a foot note in history.

Someone should remind the Democrats of that old saying, be careful of which you wish for, you may get it.

“what is this Stalinist [redacted] excuse for not impeaching Bill Clinton then?”

There is no excuse. Clinton was impeached. Pelosi supposed that Lewinsky was a Mossad agent that had infiltrated the White House and Clinton’s Trust. The Mossad collected a lot of intelligence on Clinton through Lewinsky. Nancy wasn’t about to cross the Mossad on it. That would have been her complete undoing had she done so. Instead HRC as SoS with 44’s sanction started the task of dismantling Israel through the destabilization of the Middle East with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood and other entities within the region, with follow on actions planned after her victorious rise to power as POTUS. Didn’t happen. The 4th Reich has been stalled. But not snuffed out.

There! I put in as many conspiracy theories as I could think of on the fly. Who really knows what’s going on in this Shadow government that we see casting about in every darkened corner of the political landscape?

Explain to me how the Democrats are committing suicide when they just took over the house? The American people who gave us this up and coming debacle must love irrational behavior because that’s what we have seen for two years and yet, they voted for more.

That is a wonderful idea, expose everything to the light of day. I wish our GOP leaders had spines but they don’t. I think our Republic is over. Nancy did get one thing right, we need to pray, for President Trump, for our country, for justice, and most of all for forgiveness.

Look for the emoluments clause to be their method.

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

They have no case. About what they can do is force the supreme court to tell the whole world that any elected idiot that has taken anything by a foreign power has been in violation of the Constitution. They don't want that cat out of the bag.

No they won’t have any accountability. Swathes upon Swathes of regular people are hardcore Democrats and only care that Democrats rule over everyone. They don’t care how they do it.

I don’t know about you, but I am still free.

My freedom does not come and go with elections.

Politicians come and go, but my freedom does not.

Yep, get everything out there. The reason it’s not, is that this stuff hurts dems/rinos. This will literally shutdown the house.
Hopefully the freedom caucus can figure out how to do this over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks. I think It’s time for the freedom caucus to step up and force the issue on all this corruption. If it shuts down the house, so be it.

Liz, All you write is too logical and rational for the RINOS. Their comprehension level isn’t high enough. Plus it would unnecessarily cut into their bank accounts being replenished by the big money people!
