Pelosi blasts Senate GOP subpoenas
The Hill ^ | 05 20 2020 | John Bowden

Posted on 05/20/2020 1:22:00 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday after the panel voted to subpoena a company as part of its investigation into Hunter Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden's son.

The Democratic leader issued a statement attacking Republican members of the committee for using taxpayer resources during the coronavirus pandemic to investigate the younger Biden's past work at Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company.

“Nearly 100,000 Americans have died from coronavirus, yet the GOP Senate is wasting precious time and taxpayer dollars smearing the President’s political rivals, while telling hungry families and laid-off workers to just ‘take a pause,'" Pelosi said.

"These Republican subpoenas are a clear act of retaliation and political retribution intended to help the President keep his job. It is sad that the GOP Senate has meekly and weakly chosen to be complicit in the President’s desperate and dangerous political tactics instead of passing legislation to save lives and livelihoods," the Speaker continued. “I call upon [Senate Majority] Leader [Mitch] McConnell [R-Ky.] to ‘take a pause’ in the Senate GOP’s obstruction of meeting the needs of the American people.”

Nearly 100,000 Americans have died, and the House wastes precious time trying to impeach the president.

Is she talking about the impeachment and all those democratic subpoena and delays of the trial and millions of dollars wasted on them while the virus raged?

Pelosi is a House Rat. She has NOTHING to say regarding Senate proceedings.

She should STFD and STFU.

Yeah, nothing urgent enough going on to warrant the House going back to Washington. By the way, can we have that grand jury material so we can open another impeachment investigation?
