Speaker Nancy Pelosi hints House could take further action against Trump if Senate acquits
ABC News ^ | January 30, 2020 | By John Parkinson

As the Senate appears to move towards acquitting President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to rule out further action to hold the president accountable.

Pelosi was questioned on whether the House would attempt to compel former National Security Adviser John Bolton to testify in the lower chamber should the Senate trial end without his testimony.

"This is in the Senate now," Pelosi, D-Calif., said, holding onto optimism that the upper chamber would call on witnesses. "I hope and I pray that the senators can handle the truth and listen to not only John Bolton, but other witnesses as well."

She added, "We'll see what happens after that."

Pelosi declined to say whether the House would attempt to bring other civil officers appointed by the president up for impeachment, but hinted she would not be satisfied if the Senate trial ends without new witness testimony.

"Well, I’m not getting to that. We are in the Senate," she stressed. "We did our job. We had a strong case of impeachment of the President of the United States. No matter what the senators have the courage or not to do, he will be impeached forever."

She added, "We believe our argument was strong enough for removal, but we do believe that there's more truth for the American people to know."

Of course. There is an infinite number of scandals they can invent until they need to run for reelection.

I predict she will regret that if she tries it.

Meanwhile:

Bolton’s got a problem is this checks out. This is the only source I’ve seen for this one.

Let this be a lesson to all of you:

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T VOTE IN LARGE ENOUGH NUMBERS IN MIDTERM ELECTIONS.

You get two years of Dem insanity. If the GOP still held the House NONE of this nonsense would even be happening.

ABC “News” writes: “...to hold the president accountable.”

These “news” people are disgusting!

Are these Democrats out of control?

They took their best shot, and it’s fizzling out on them.

So their response, even in an election year, is to try to impeach him again???? Is that really going to gain support of the American people, and help Democrats in November’s elections?

There are already some good election ads which can be written. And they would revolve around how Democrats were put in charge of the House in the Nov. 2018 elections, and what did they do? All they did was investigate Trump and impeach Trump. If they keep this up, even after he’s found not guilty in a Senate trial, it will just reinforce that the Democrats are a lunatic fringe party. And that is not a recipe for electoral success.

i couldn’t have written a better outline on how to drive independents into Trump’ camp if I worked on it for a year.

it’s kind of funny.

But also annoying.

I think it’s time to look into how the Pelosis got so wealthy off of politics.

If the Senate acquits, then Pelosi can appeal, right? To, like, The Peoples Court or something?

They’re gonna claim Adam Shiff did a bad job and demand a do-over.

Nadless will issue another set of articles of impeachment because everyone knows the big games are always best 2 out of 3...

This hag doesn’t realize that if she and Schiff go this route, she can kiss her Speaker’s post goodbye. There will be a mighty cleansing as Democrats will be swept out of office from coast to coast.
