Zugzwang: Why Nancy Pelosi Refuses to Hold an Impeachment (She knows better)

Pelosi wants the mass media propaganda circus without having to get involved with silly stuff like evidence and witnesses and facts.

The editors and reporters love it...

Because they are hacks and whores.

Quid Pro Joe explained it best: “Truth, not facts”.

That means The Propaganda Narrative without inconvenient facts.

I think stretchy face has already doomed her “moderate” members with her lies and partisan bullschiff.

[SMARTY]

She’s just doing what Liberals ALWAYS do... having it both ways

[DeplorablePaul]

Pecker puss Pelosi is running impeachment like a college campus Title IX sex case. The accuser must be be believed and the accused cannot defend himself. Calling the process a kangaroo court was being kind.

Zugzwang (German noun): a situation in which the obligation to make a move in one’s turn is a serious, often decisive, disadvantage.

I believe you are exactly right. The leftists can drag out an "inquiry" as long as they like, using it as a platform to spew unsubstantiated lies and innuendo.

The moment they hold a vote the issue goes to the Senate which will quickly and uncerimoniously quash this political BS. Or, worse for the leftists...the Senate might actually dig in and investigate as part of their trial. This would no-doubt expose the true nature of the "impeachment" (aka political witch-hunt) for what it really is. Although it seems it should be obvious to everyone, even the casual political observer, exactly what this is all about.

Pelosi cannot go through with impeachment as there is a likelihood of losing the House if she does; however,

Pelosi must go through with impeachment as the whacked-out Leftist base won't stand for it if she doesn't ... they need something! ... anything!!

So what's a tired, old Speaker to do? Because the Democrat/Left Party just cannot simply drop impeachment as it will give President Trump a huge victory and send the whacked-out base completely over the edge, I'm thinking some sort of "censure" is the likely outcome ... but (and it's a Moochell-type "big but"), although the Democrat/Left elite may welcome this type of maneuver to escape the corner they've painted themselves into, the whacked-out base won't buy it or accept it. Should be a "hoot"!

You hit that one out of the park...

If there was a vote, then the Republicans would have subpoena power. Then they would call her son , Paul Pelosi to testify. Paul Pelosi, like Hunter Boden had no oil, gas or energy experience but was appointed to a highly paid board position at a Ukraine energy company. Watching him repeatedly take the 5th would be an eye opening spectacle for the American people.

[devane617]

Pelosi is smarter than the avg Dim and she knows this is a bad road to go down. She is doing this to appease the wildly radical left while trying to maintain trust of the moderates.

and an executive at its related company NRGLab, which DID ENERGY Business in UKRAINE!

And this: Nancy Pelosi appeared in a promotional video for the company!”

[Elsie]

Yeah, Nancy.

What’s the hold up?

[1Old Pro]

Quid Pro Joe explained it best: “Truth, not facts”.

And Gayle King on Oprah, er CBS This morning complained that people watching other networks (That damn FOX) aren't entitle to their own facts, just the facts she and Schiff deem important, what a fake phony fraud.

[Elsie]

Choose the one less traveled.

It’ll make all the difference.

[newfreep]

And Gayle King on Oprah...

That's an accurate and a horrifying image....

[Elsie]

Have you noticed the New York Times ads, running on TV, that manage to work the word 'truth' into them?

[Elsie]

TRUTH is hard

TRUTH is worth it

Aaahhh..... what an opportunity missed. The writer had a glimmer of the thought but lost it

What is happening is a GONZO Impeachment

[Elsie]

TRUTH is elusive here at the Times...
