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.

How about exposing the Congressional sex-coverup slush fund?

Would love to hear the questions asked by Republicans in the Senate impeachment hearing. That is, if they have the nads to ask the tough ones.

CNN is a group of third graders.

They think if they say it, it will happen.

Imagine if Trump Jr. was pulling in $50,000 a month for a corrupt Ukrainian business.

Total silence by the media on the blatant corruption.

Look, we might not like Nancy, but she’s no dummy. She knows the Ds will get brutalized in the election if she lets the impeachment get voted on. She knows it is not going to get thru the Senate. So she knows it really serves no purpose other than throwing red meat (um tofu burgers?) to much of the D base.

“If you want to see two million armed Trump supporters roaming the halls of the capitol building go right ahead.”

It would definitely generate a lot of tweets and FR posts for sure. :-)

How many divisions does Pelosi command? We all know the VAST MAJORITY of our troops can be counted on to stop such a coup. We’re going to see tanks surrounding the Capitol before this is over. I’ll be on Trump’s side.

SMH.

And we didn’t demand anything and it was never much or a big story

How do you get your congressman to fight against something that may have helped him in a jam?

Pass a constitutional amendment stating that only eunuchs (or robots without genitalia) may be elected to Congress.

The DNC Media is not totally silent. They are on board with the latest political operation imploding before our eyes.

it would help :)

It’s such a HARD (no pun intended) thing to fight because so few have a completely clean history and that area.
