Speaker Nancy Pelosi holds her weekly news conference. She will be joined by House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff.
Is that a dry booger in Nanzi’s left nostril?
Schiff is going after Pompeo and asserting articles of impeachment will include obstruction of justice. he didn't put it that way, but that is what he meant.
Pretty much a nothing presentation. He's listing the subpoenas and depositions already notified in written materials made public.
Question time ...
Pelosi invokes oath of office. The more they oath, the more we count the spoons.
Q was how she expects Trump to cooperate while he is under impeachment cloud.
The press shows good behavior for Nancy. Unlike their conduct before the president. That tells you who they have more respect for.
Any deadline on having USMCA raised? Nope. Not urgent to Pelosi. Staff is working on it. Trying to find common ground with Trump.
What about the quiet on gun legislation? Trump called her last Tuesday. She reminded him that House had sent bills to the Senate. After that, Trump segued to Ukraine phone call, said it was perfect, and Nancy disagreed - it's perfectly impeachable offense.
Hillary can come riding in to save the day.
She has a Book Tour ,LOL
Nancy says no need for full House vote.
Schiff is concerned the WH will stonewall. Any action that forces litigation or consideration of litigation (to get evidencde) will be considered obstruction of justice, and that WH is trying to conceal evidence that corroborates the DEMs ludicous allegations. Not fooling around, not going to drag this out for months. Trump tried to coerce a foreign leader to dig up dirt on an opponent.
What about Trump right to meet the whistleblower? Schiff: WB has right to be anon. Trump's call that W is a spy is witness intimidation and incitement to violence (yes, he said exactly that). The call record shows Trump asked Ukraine a favor.
Pelosi: touts here HPSCI experience, as chair, was part of gang of four, been in this gig 25 years. She finds it serious that Trump wants to interview WB, DEMs will be fair vs. Trump. Hahahah. The usual schtick of selective rheotic. I hope somebody whistleblows the files in her office.
Pelosi does not see impeachment as unifying (profound ...)
Is it possible you are making too much of one phone call? Pelosi "Absolutely Not."
Pelosi: Trump undermined national security. Trump undermined his oath of office. Undermined the integrity of our elections. Stoop to a level below the diginty of the US. The founders pu guardrails un the consitution, never thought a president would kick those guardrails over. She's on a tear!! This is sad, we have to be prayerful, we have to be fair, we have to give Trump a chance to exonerate himself. Calmness, quiet, so that we can hear what is being said in this regard.
This is one for the record books. Looney tunes squared.
With dignity, with respect. Presser over after she concludes her rant. The press has tons of great sound bites in that one.
Schiff and Pelosi are worthless idiots. As such, they’re well qualified to lead the rest of the worthless idiot democrats.
The irony: Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
That's sick. And very funny.
Apparently the House Rules require an impeachment inquiry to be authorized by vote. Pelosi “authorized” it herself without a vote. Then they are saying everything is different because now their subpoenas are an “impeachment inquiry”. But it isn’t. Their subpoenas are just subpoenas.
She didn’t hold the vote so that the Republicans have no right to issue their own subpoenas - as required by the impeachment rules of the House.
And she doesn’t want her members to have to vote for the inquiry.
Everything the Democrats do is designed to use the law, not follow the law.
That’s why Giuliani is considering a lawsuit. It is an illegitimate inquiry.
Can the Congress issue subpoenas? Yes. Does it deserve the status of an “impeachment” because Nancy and Adam say so? No.
Well, after 30+ years in elected office, she does know how to reach her voters. It is not difficult to believe that with her repeated references to the founders and the Constitution she reached additional new, young voters.
But IMO it was Schiff who deserves a tip of the hat. With his repeated emphasis on the founders primary concern of preventing interference by foreign governments in our nation's politics - he underscored the importance of the two-parent element of NBC.
