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...)

PD I like when you said “they sent the impeachment to the senate.” Wanna rethink that. It is contradicted by your overall opinion he is not already impeached.

He will have been impeached AFTER conviction and that look unlikely at this point.

This simply isn’t true.

An impeachment is nothing more than an indictment; it does not require a conviction.

Bernie is as leftist as ever.

“From Day One, we will not tear babies from their mothers’ arms.”

But it’s OK to rip them from their mothers’ wombs, at the rate of 4400 a day?

So Trump has not been impeached. And won’t be until the House both sends the articles and sends a prosecutor.

But Nazi Pelosi is counting on The People to believe that an accusation IS a conviction.

Her constituents should be insulted - but so many of them are homeless, shitting on the street, barely literate...

(I guess I’ll stop, now.)

The president has been impeached, but will not be removed. It 1s the same as Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, impeached but not removed from office.
Nixon was different, he resigned before the House could impeach him.

What does the Constitution say about when the Speaker MUST send the articles of impeachment to the Senate? Two weeks, until the next Congress, past precedent which is not enumerated btw. Since this is Trumps first term and assuming Trump is re-elected, could Pelosi hold the articles until mid-way into Trump's second term?

We are in uncharted territory and people are falling hook, lie, and sinker into a non-enumerated political mess. Dems and the media would go into overdrive if Republicans summarily dismiss the charges and then maybe people might start to think/ succumb to the war of attrition. If you are going to win, end it quickly with no questions remaining.

Trump needs to assert his Constitutional protections for a speedy trail and diffuse this audacious strategy dems are initiating.

Bernie is insignificant. He’s never had a chance of being President. The Dems have already proven that they don’t want him there, and they cheated him ‘royally’ in the last presidential election.

Nancy's Dump-of-crap Party's impeachment is now constipated.

Here's a large enema tool for all of them to pass around.   (It's black, to match Nancy's black dress, which she wore because of the deep sadness and solemnity Nancy prevaricated about, concerning those sleazers having to do this fake, half-an-impeachment.)
