House Democrats near 'tipping point' on impeachment as Pelosi faces crucial week
CNN ^

Posted on 09/23/2019 6:59:36 PM PDT by springwater13

House Democrats are nearing a "tipping point" on impeachment in the wake of the Trump administration blocking a whistleblower complaint's release to Congress, with moderate Democrats who have resisted calls for impeachment privately indicating they could be swayed. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who sharpened her rhetoric over the weekend, is still not committing to moving forward with impeachment proceedings -- though she is keeping the door open. The reason: The substance of the complaint is not yet clear. And it's still unclear how the Trump administration will respond. Multiple Democratic sources told CNN that if the White House completely stonewalls Democrats for the information, it will make the calculus easier for moving forward with impeachment proceedings. But if the White House provides a transcript, or seeks to muddy the waters in its response, that could make it more challenging for Democrats to unify behind impeachment, even after President Donald Trump's admission of discussing Vice President Joe Biden and his son in his phone call with the Ukrainian leader.

did Trump “leak” fake info about the call to the “whistleblower” knowing it would make its way back to the Democrats and Trump hating media forcing the focus back on Hunter Biden?

There have to be a few RATS who see their party going kamikaze, and about to hit a brick wall straight on shattering them into a million pieces!

That’s all that Trump has to do.
Call pelosi and tell her you’re dumping the list of names on Wednesday with every news outlet.

Nail all the bastards. If it takes out a few republicans, so be it. Time for the eye of the tiger.

I see IN NO WAY, to avoid an all out civil war at this point.

All it needs is the spark.

This is pre 1861 on steroids.

This one will make the last one look like an ice cream social.

They are nearing impeachment but don’t yet have a charge other than they hate him.

Imcan’t help but think that the President has a counter-attack locked and loaded. Clinton bombed aspirin factories. I do not believe that Trump will go military. Surely with the trail of crimes and corruption left in the wake of Obama there is daisy cutter ready to deploy.

I was very interested in what a reporter said on the Lou Dobbs said:

If they insist on seeing what is in the phone call with a foreign government and they get to see it, THEN THE PRECEDENT WILL BE SET AND WE CAN ASK TO SEE CALLS MADE BY OBUMMER. HOW DO YOU THINK THE DIMS WOULD LIKE THAT?

It won’t matter.

Like every other leftist double-standard, that will be considered “different.”

It's been time for "eye of the tiger" for some time now, and yet, this crap continues.
