'Hard to imagine Trump doing a signing ceremony of anything with Speaker Pelosi at his side'
Three Senate sources told the Washington Free Beacon that the House's impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump has stalled efforts to pass new gun control laws.
"Hard to imagine Trump doing a signing ceremony of anything with Speaker Pelosi at his side, and Democrats are the only ones agitating for gun control," one staffer told the Free Beacon on Wednesday.
The inquiry, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.) officially labeled an impeachment investigation, will consume Washington for the weeks and months ahead, according to the sources. They also said it will be difficult to move key legislative priorities like a reworked North American trade deal and lowering the cost of prescription drugs, not to mention a passable gun control package.

As I said months ago, the entire focus of the gun control debate in Washington is on coming up with excuses for why no new laws are being passed. That’s not a bad thing. Pelosi is doing the GOP a huge favor here.
Just my opinion...
but is this committee trying to put words into this witness mouth to fit their bull shit?
How many committee person actually thanked him for his 34 years of Military Service? interesting...especially the AA from Alabama .. I found her very testy...
You are right.And the more they get away with, the bolder they become.
Maybe its because I had little sleep last night, but I simply don’t understand your comment.
Any Republican who works with them at this point is retarded, and that is one of the nicer things I can say.
They could punt and propose national Constitutional carry as good faith implementation of the Second Amendment. That’d be simple, direct, and conclusive.
“This is paying immediate dividends, no gun control, then some long term dividends, like Trump reelection in 2020 and a Republican House.”
*SQUEAL* That would be so awesome! :)
Nancy is thinking about her next election. She needs to appease her SF base to keep her cushy job. Also, she is trying to appease the rabid communists in her party.
She will probably get re elected, but will lose her seat as House Speaker.
Democrats are getting played by Pelosi! The “impeachment” proceedings are a distraction!
They don’t actually care about the needless deaths of Americans and now they have proven it.
Fact is, it wasn’t going anywhere anyway, for both sides and now everyone has an out...
Not only will this stop gun control, but it will prevent a carbon tax for 12 years, and they won’t be able to save the world!
Impeachment Inquiry Stalls Gun Control Talks>
Fantastic.
(Its an ill wind indeed that blows no good at all.)
likely sooner, if the statistics are accurate.
under bozo, mean time between “events” classified as mass shootings, three or more killed...excepting any given weekend on the south side of chicago...was 59 days.
since DJT was elected.mean time between events...29 days. they have accelerated the schedule. If the pattern holds true, we should see one in the next 2-3 weeks.
They’re running up their telefon bill …
