On Tuesday evening Nancy Pelosi made one of the most colossal blunders in the modern history of American electoral politics. Rejecting the accumulated wisdom of a long and successful career in the House of Representatives, she set aside her own instincts and announced the beginning of formal impeachment proceedings against President Trump on the basis of a third-hand rumor about a phone call with the president of a Eurasian republic.
Pelosi knows this will not be popular. She knows more than that. She knows that it will be a disaster for the Democratic Party, that it will inflame the president's base and inspire even his most lukewarm supporters with a sense of outrage.
She knows that in states like Michigan, upon which her party's chances in 2020 will depend, the question of impeachment does not poll well.
She knows, further, that Joe Biden will not be able to spend the next 14 or so months refusing to answer questions about the activities of his son, Hunter, in Ukraine, and that increased scrutiny of the vice president's record in office will not rebound to his credit. She and her fellow Democratic leaders had better hope that someone like Elizabeth Warren manages to steal the nomination away from him before this defines his candidacy the way that Hillary Clinton's emails and paid speechmaking did during and after the 2016 primaries.
Why? Because her hand has been forced. The same members of her caucus who have clamored for Trump's impeachment on the basis of his immigration policy, his non-existent collusion with Russian authorities during the last presidential election, and his ownership of various hotels have once again lighted upon high crimes and misdemeanors.

No. At this point I want them to try and fail just for the heck of it.
How can America not see the anarchy and treason in this? Even RAT liberals should see this absolutely unAmerican behavior. They’re doing nothing but trying to topple a duly elected president and destroy the entire electoral process.
What I want at this point IS this third person whistleblower’s story NOT to match the transcripts AT ALL!!! I want them to be humiliated beyond belief!!! I want the MSM to once again be made FOOLS of!!!! NEVER to be believed again by the public!!!
“...Investigate Pelosi’s millions, and any political quid pro quos that led to them....”
Exactly. She went out of her way to make sure American Samoa was NOT included in the min. wage law. Why? Because she & her husband have tuna processing business there. In essence, they are Samoan slave owners.
The DummyRat Desperados next trick will be a Space Alien False Flag Invasion.
I wonder if Nancy is letting this happen as a means to harm the progressives who are trying to take over the Dem party. Just a weird though that I just got.
I like your enthusiasm, but I went to the FR March For Justice back in 2005, and although it was a great time, I’d guess we got about 40 FReepers to show up.
It’s just not something we do much. The TEA Party drew some good crowds, but it was still a couple hundred.
Sarah Barracuda, your mind and mine are on the same wave link. It ALL leads back to obama. Clinton and her servers, money for “the foundation”, releasing 20% of our uranium to the Russian government. Money to billy for a speech. All of this leads back to obama. hillary couldn’t have let the uranium leave our shores without obama’s ok. He’s into a lot of stuff, we have not yet heard of, but it will, eventually, all come out. How about the pallets of unmarked money to Iran?
Sigh.....

Just POOF!”
They will not allow that to happen without bloodshed. Expect another mass shooting soon.
It’s not 40 years, it’s more like 100.
One more procedure, and he’ll have a goatee.
Yep!
That’s wonderful!
“and the American people are outraged.”
A large portion of the American people are outraged about which NFL team lost last weekend.
Hope you are right.
I know they are smug know it alls.
Excellent. Well put.
Could they really be stupid enough to pull this stunt without knowing they have something concrete?
An angle I hadn’t thought of but a very real possibility.
Pelosi never thought Trump would release the transcript. The so-called whistleblower will be outed in the next 24 hours as a Democratic hack and should be fired.
