Pelosi confuses Dems by rejecting GOP defector Amash as impeach manager
NY Post ^ | Jan. 15, 2020

Posted on 01/15/2020 2:22:27 PM PST by deplorableindc

Democrats were perplexed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision not to name independent Rep. Justin Amash one of President Trump’s impeachment trial managers.

Pelosi instead selected seven Democrats, including Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), resisting a campaign by at least 30 House Democrats who asked Pelosi to pick the former Republican from Michigan.

Democrats who pushed Amash argued his selection would give the appearance of bipartisanship. And her decision was derided by critics as a “missed opportunity.”

God continues to smile on President Trump and the millions who voted for him.

PeeLousy’s brain is pickled. She sounds drunk most the time. Been that way for many years now. She’s running on autopilot with her assistants propping her up all the time. If she any honor at all, which she clearly doesn’t, she would have resigned many years ago.

Not watching a second of it. Plus, Adam-2 is on. Much better entertainment and I am less likely to throw a brick at the tv.

Bipartisanship?

Why would Nazi Pelosi ever want to be associated with bipartisanship?

Well, maybe she is a little bit bipartisan. She is sending Schiff, right?

He’s the very first one we want. Put that geek in the hot seat for a week or two and let Repub Senators tear him a new one.

Then indict him for Obstruction of the Senate.

Pelosi is a child. She handed out those pens like a Rock Star signing autographs for fans.

Laughing for the cameras. She has no idea of dignity.

President Trump and the American people can rest easy - this fiasco will end very soon. As it should.

From what I am hearing (and who knows)there is some type of connection between Adam Schiff and Ukraine.( and it is financial)......which would be a conflict of interest...Pres Trump or his lawyers should push this and demand he steps down as “manager”

Would give the appearance.

And we'd all see right through it.

Lord, stop this. Let them destroy themselves with this effort. Remove from office by whatever means you see fit, all those involved in this blatant attempt to overthrow our government.

You are so correct. Plus, it will all backfire on the Democrats. They are Liars and everyone knows it.

My thought is she made the swing district Democrats commit political suicide with the impeachment vote.

Then she waited a month so they’d have to commit a second suicide today.

Why is it that every time I hear Amash's name I think of Stinky?

I believe Rudy has all the goods on him. At the right time President Trump will turn him loose.

“No non-insane person will ever think anything about this impeachment was bipartisan!”

Correct ... plus this is just another indicator that the dems just don’t care and they don’t have to worry about it because the MSM will provide cover.

However what the dems may not have taken into account is that an impeachment trial is rare and draws in an audience including some who may not be tuned into politics that much but know an impeachment is historic. This is a great opportunity for our side to be heard by these so-called independents and get messages out including the facts about how this witch hunt was conducted ... if McConnell will allow it.
