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.

She is attempting a coup.
With that, there is not excuse to not arrest and charge her with sedition.
“How DARE you!”
Rep Collins said it best last week in the Lewandowski hearings. In order to start impeachment proceedings, the whole House has to vote for it.
Until then, it is a scrimmage without helmets and pads.
Bet the whistleblower is sh****** his pants. He's suppose to testify Thursday.....if he doesn't take a walk in Marcy Park.
And get this, Dems say the “Whistleblower” is more reliable than the freakin OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT of the phone call LOL..this all shows this has nothing to do with the phone call..this is all about saving Biden and well, Obama’s asses
RBG, FISA, take your pick. The rats are showing the world what they are and the American people are outraged. Today Trump gave the speech of a lifetime, and it was ruined by this madness from the left.
I wonder if a very large march on Washington by President Trump supporters would be useful any time soon? The Nation’s Gun Show is coming up this weekend where many like minded patriots might begin thinking about this.
Nancy Pelosi is evil, her body addled, her wits have slown considerably, but she's not stupid.
She's determined that Biden is too corrupt and stupid to possibly defeat Trump.
You've been sold up the river, Joe, you bumbling moron.
I think that’s what it’s really all about. Except she will not be top dog...and will be VP.
Pelosi: We wouldn’t want to pass legislation that would benefit Americans and make America great.
I don’t know why it’s a blunder. Only when the house votes is it truly time for the official inquiry to start. It looks like she did a play on words of you all me.
I think they are getting ready to step on another rake. When they get the transcript is released, it will exonerate Trump and shed very negative light on Joe Biden’s abuse of power.
This smells like a Clinton plot.
FReepers wanting to avoid a trip to msn.com, always a good idea, can find the original article here:
I think the play was to drum up the Brett stuff, but the NYTs piece was full of holes. I do think it comes down to RBG, probably in much worse health than they are letting on. This is high states. If you go for impeachment, the purpose has to be to remove Trump. Where are the votes? Mitt is just one Republican vote.
Did she get us in a land war in Asia, go against a Sicilian when death is in the line?
Interesting theory!
One thing is for sure, there's FAR more afoot here than we know, or will know for quite some time.
My response is a donation to the Trump campaign.
I think RBG is about to pass, and this is how the Dems intend totop Trump from appointing a replacement.

Well that and it also provides a much needed distraction from the upcoming Horowitz and/or Barr reports which are likely to be problematic.
