Democrat Pelosi’s never-ending game (the permanent impeachment)
NYPOST.COM ^ | 12/27/19 | EDITORIAL

Democrat Nancy Pelosi’s delay in transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate “puts politics ahead of the US Constitution,” declares Peter Roff at Newsweek.

Pelosi claims she wants to be assured the Senate will hold a “fair” trial, yet that’s the height of political hypocrisy, given that the House’s impeachment process was so “manifestly unfair.”

Besides, “if Harvard’s Noah Feldman is right and the president is not deemed to have been impeached until the articles are forwarded,” why should the Senate prepare for a trial? Pelosi just wants “another bite of the apple.”

Democrats have been trying to impeach President Trump for “most of his administration,” and there’s word they may now try to impeach him a second time.

Just as Bill Clinton gave us “the permanent campaign,” Pelosi and her allies are giving America “the permanent impeachment.”

“Will it ever end?” asks Roff. “Probably not.”

The pols funded wars ----our kids fought them----and they and their kids grabbed the money.

Wait for it---another feather in Hunter Biden's cap.

Hunter was taking millions under the table from Ukranian Muslim terrorist trash.

Nanzi sent out Harvard Trump hater Noah Feldman on a fool’s errand: to trick policy wonk Mitch McConnell.
Gulling McConnell into acting on the made-up theory that "there’s no impeachment" until she mails the letter.

Noah's hairdresser gets the award in the category:
"Best Marcel wave seen since Bette Davis in 1940."

".... Pelosi and her wingman Schumer claim they want to be assured the Senate will hold a “fair” trial.... As usual the Democrats got it ***-backwards.... The Constituion’s language WRT “fair trails” is intended to apply to the accused.... not the accusers.

The first post I've read on Pelosi's claim the she wants to be assured that before she will transmit the House articles of impeachment to the Senate, that the Senate trial will be fair, by you pointing out that the "fair" part applies to Trump, not her, the House and the democRATS.

Excellent point that no one else I've read has picked up on. Good job. Thanks. 👍

While Pelosi hopes to get lots of free oppo research via document release from the pending court cases, she is trying to run out the clock, while people turn against her and the Democrats.

IMHO the “permanent” impeachment scenario will not prove useful. Trump’s approval keeps going up.

Trump’s approval numbers-——something the control freak never counted on.
