Pelosi: McConnell will be held accountable if he tosses impeachment trial
NY Post ^ | January 12, 2020 | Mark Moore

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday warned Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and his GOP colleagues that they would be held accountable by the American people if they dismiss the impeachment trial against President Trump.

Pelosi said McConnell “very unusually” signed a resolution last week to toss the case once the Senate takes up the two articles passed by the House in December.

“Dismissing is a cover up,” Pelosi said on ABC News’ “This Week.” “If they want to go that route, again, the senators who are now thinking about witnesses or not – they will have to be accountable for not having a fair trial.”

“It’s about a fair trial, they take an oath to have a fair trial and we think that would be with witnesses and documentation,” she continued. “Now the ball is in their court to either do that or pay a price for not doing that.”

The California Democrat said despite McConnell’s “gamesmanship,” Trump “is impeached for life.”

Pelosi has yet to hand over the articles of impeachment – charging the president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – in an effort to force McConnell to call witnesses during the impeachment trial.

The trial will be as fair as the hearings Shiff held.

My sentiments, exactly. They need to pay the price for their subversion and treason.

P.S. The ACCUSED is guaranteed a fair trial, not the accuser. Pelosi wants to dictate the terms of the trial and it is driving her nuts to know that she can’t.

Does anyone know if the Senate has a basement where they can keep out the Democrats and the media during the impeachment hearings?

"...dimissing is a cover up"

Cover up of what? We know what was done. The president released the transcript. There is nothing there. With respect to Donald Trump anyway. Joe and Hunter is a different story.

No, the Democrats such as Pelosi and Schiff are never held accountable for anything.

The rule is, the liberals are allowed to say and do anything, and never held responsible for actions or behaviors. It’s only the conservative side who are held to any standards.

Nanzi flopped bigtime and she knows it. She’s putting on a big act to assuage her bruised ego.....and to give Dem doors a little thrill.

She cunningly planned all of this.....
<><> over two years of researching her options,
<><> conferring with the Left,
<><> writing the numerous scripts
<><> handing out their roles to the various Trump haters
<><> rehearsing the actors 24/7.
<><> hopscotching the media to deny, deny, deny impeachment was afoot.
<><> every word focus-grouped for maximum impact.


She is a cunning scam artist. To suggest this slimeball with a gavel doesnt know what she’s doing is the height of folly.

Some say McConnell should simply dismiss due to lack of actual charges......

Forget dismissal for lack of evidence. Senate actions must humiliate DemocRATs.

Nothing short of a Democrat annihilation will do.
Americans must be made witness to:
<><> Democrats violent hatred for Trump
<><> Democrats raging hatred for an entire class of Americans
<><> impeachment as revenge (not justice)
<><> vengeful Democrats punishing Trump voters
<><> Democrats banking their future on the chaos of impeachment
<><> the outrageous Third World MO used to structure impeachment.

Every Senate action should show Americans and the world The True Impact of the Democraps’ evilness.

Trump “is impeached for life.”

Trump is already wearing impeachment and flashing it like a Super Bowl ring.

Watch your head turtle. Don’t stick your neck out too far.

She was Jihadist of the year in 2019 (Nancy Chattering Teeth Satan)

“she’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you are bleeding” according to her dour spawn and the enmeshed propagandists. See how effortlessly and joyfully they work together (Alysin Propaganda fits right in)

(LOL...Notice the pitiful NPCers to Spawn’s left and right)

Will we have to take her head off to find out what’s in it...or does it unscrew?

Is this the dems plan?
Say “we tried to push orange man out, but the will of the people was thwarted by those perfidious republicans”? And then use the idea of republicans being unresponsive to the will of the people as a reason to vote dem? If so they haven’t got a pot to p*ss in, nor a window to through it out of.
