Pelosi digs in on impeachment rules fight (IMPEACHMENT HELD HOSTAGE - DAY 21)
The Hill ^ | 1/07/20 | OLIVIA BEAVERS, MIKE LILLIS

Posted on 01/08/2020 2:20:16 AM PST by Libloather

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is leaning into her plans to withhold sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate, amplifying her position Tuesday that she won't deliver them until she knows what a trial in the upper chamber will look like.

Pelosi, writing in a letter to her Democratic colleagues, called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to promptly unveil the resolution that will lay out the guidelines for the trial centered on President Trump's contacts with Ukraine and whether they warrant his removal from office.

The Democratic leader dug in on her plans to withhold the articles after McConnell announced at a press conference earlier in the day that Republicans "have the votes” to pass a resolution to start the impeachment trial without requiring additional witnesses and key documents.

"It is important that he immediately publish this resolution, so that, as I have said before, we can see the arena in which we will be participating, appoint managers and transmit the articles to the Senate," Pelosi wrote in her letter.

This isn't her job. Democratics better fire her - and be quick about it.

At 22 trillion debt, I don’t think our tax dollars are covering much of anything anymore :)

The printing press is.

And by the time they get around to getting this to the senate, they’re gonna have to change the name of the President on the papers. And that INCLUDES Trump winning again :)

The Turtle doesn’t care. With his rules in place, the groundwork is laid for the Senate to summarily dismiss the turd articles of impeachment with prejudice.

Nancy doesn’t have the leverage she thinks she does.

I meant the trillion dollar part being sad.

I think the other part, about this going nowhere, is actually a good thing.

I think what the Dems have engineered used to be called a Pyrrhic victory.

But WOW did they make a Catastrophe of this whole process.

And in the end, they’re not even placating the psycho base.

This will never come to trial. President Trump will walk and the Democrats know it.

They need more Pyrrhic victories like holding impeachment hostage.

She is helpless to do anything at this point. Her whole sordid mess will go down in flames.

Personally, I think the Senate should just accept their announcement as the presentation and dismiss them. We have all sorts of urgent things going on in the world right now and we don’t have the luxury to indulge Nancy’s little games.

Nancy: "I have said before, we can see the arena in which we will be participating."

Hey dummy...the arena is in the Senate debating chamber.

Like where the Senate conducts its business.

This is AOC stupidity.

How hard is that...?

No one cares, Nancy.

You’re just a stupid, pointless bitch, and you can’t do anything other than look stupid and be pointless.
