Democrats’ Top Impeachment Witness Just NUKED Pelosi’s Entire Senate Strategy

One of the top impeachment witnesses the Democrats presented in their case against President Donald Trump, just took a hatchet to the plans of Nancy Pelosi to gain the upper hand against Senate Republicans in any trial against Trump.

Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman said in an op-ed on Thursday that Democrats have not yet impeached the president despite their vote last night.

Uh, oh!

Feldman’s op-ed at Bloomberg News comes as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is considering withholding sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate because she is worried that the political trial would be biased in favor of the president.

“So far we haven’t seen anything that looks fair to us,” Pelosi told reporters last night. “That would’ve been our intention, but we’ll see what happens over there.”

Feldman noted that “according to the Constitution, impeachment is a process, not a vote,” and that while a modest delay would not pose a problem, a lengthy delay would be a “serious problem.

(Sorry, Nancy, it gets even worse...)

I’m watching. (Know your enemy.)

It’s really boring without the more colorful members ...more sedate.

Everyone is dressed very conservatively. In fact, Klobuchar looks like your typical female suburban rally. I like her new hairdo...it doesn’t shake as much.

Biden looks and sounds dowright sane. Hasn’t lost his teeth even once.

Yang is peppy and full of new ideas.

Pocahontas is same old same old. Red is not her color...it exaggerates her big red nose and big red ears.

I’ll be back with more later.

No, no, no, they are worried that it WILL NOT BE the same “biased and fixed investigation” that was in the House.

As long as she sends them before the House adjourns sine die.

Seems to me all House measures die at end of session.
If it’s in the Senate it won’t die.

Maybe that’s what she wants. An maybe she wants a second vote.

Yes, that is what I have been saying, a vote is not sufficient, it must be passed out of the House and to the Senate to be effective. Otherwise it is just a nullity and will die in the House without being ever taking effect.

You are correct!

: to charge with a crime or misdemeanor

specifically : to charge (a public official) before a competent tribunal with misconduct in office

Just like the cops have to charge you with a crime in a court in front of the judge.

I’m wrong, that’s at the end of the Session.
Which won’t be until next year.

Never mind.

This guy nailed it!!! Without completion of the process, there is NO impeachment. The articles MUST be presented to the Senate for a trial.

This guy is going to join Jimmy Hoffa.

Do you people realize this guy is arguing for holding the Articles until the Senate is ready to hold a "fair" trial in his mind (I.E. Until dems get a majority in the Senate to shape the rules in case Trump is re-elected).

Don't argue the process, this has been perverted already. Argue to end the whole process, dragging the court into this if need be and forcing a "trial".

BTW, to the voters, Trump has been impeached, argue against that stupidity and be dragged down to their level to the ones who say he hasn't been impeached.

Any court of law during this whole process would have been nuked to oblivion by a judge, unfortunately this is political, not a LEGAL process so reasonable adjudication has left the building 12 weeks ago (More like 3 years).

who is going to tell trump he hasn’t been impeached yet. Perhaps he and his advisors are not as smart as thins guy. When clinton was inpeached by the house, everyone said he was impeached right after the vote. The democrats all came out on the lawn and sang cumbaya. What happened.

Was it wrong when the house said they impeached Clinton?

No, but they actually sent the impeachment to the Senate.

A grand jury can vote whether a case is "bill or no-bill." But if their decision isn't reported back to the DA's office, they didn't "return an indictment." Notice matters. It's a declaration that the process is complete.

It's obviously not complete here. They have no confidence in their case, so they don't dare move it to the next level, where it will likely die. Until they officially do, their poll of their members is an internal poll, and has done nothing.

“Maybe Feldman isn’t that big of a jerk.”

I’m not going for that. The “witness” is continuing to act as an advisor to the Dems.

Pelosi has flip-flopped on impeachment like a rabid flounder.
I can’t figure out her game (looks like she can’t either). The only “benefit” of impeachment for Trump haters is staining his Presidency in the history books. If House Dems fail to deliver it to the Senate, they blow that. Is it possible that some Senate Dems are balking at this garbage and will vote to dismiss with the R’s?

clinton was deemed impeached immediately by every one.

I repeat, trump thinks he’s impeached. He has some high brain power advisors, are they delusional and you take this other guys opinion over theirs.

And the links I have posted, are they allk wrong also to say the third president to be impeached? This one guy iOS right and they’re all wrong. are you feeling a little uncomfortable in the least.
