Nadler's theme
Okay why did he do this? Was it to lose the “news” over the weekend?
Friday news dump
Pig face didnt have the votes and the GOP reps knew it.
So Pig face shut it down.
Collins is a Republican.
They knew from day 1 that this would not make it through the senate.
They never had any intention to actually do it... because they KNOW that doing so means that people like Schiff WOULD have to testify.
No... this was the plan all along... ride it for what it was worth in the court of public opinion ONLY!
Delaying the vote is a denial of Trump’s request... to get this over with.
Don’t hold your breath for the republican held senate to ever get their turn with this.
weird thread. of course he’s got the votes in the judiciary committee.
he wanted a bigger audience than he would have had at midnight.
He was feelin’ a mite peckish
Simple explanation: Nadler’s takeout showed up and the guy doesn’t like his Kung Pao Chicken reheated. The rice just isn’t the same. Or, maybe his fortune cookie read “Epstein didn’t kill himself. Love, Nancy” .
Or maybe there just wasn’t anything good to watch:

When your enemy or opponent is destroying themselves don’t get in the way!
Git sum,Louie!! You da man!!
That jackass in Virginia isn’t helping Nads.
The Left is overplaying its hand at many levels, and even the libtards are getting annoyed.
His last earthly act should be stretching a rope.
Not “Breaking Alert” on FoxNews, just reruns of Hannity
Could somebody please offer Nadler a wafer thin mint?
Nadler wants to talk over the final scenes in this drama with Nancy and the leadership.
If this effort is doomed even before the start in the Senate, it might be well to never even let it get there. That way, there is no big trial with the Republicaans orchestrating all the embarrassing testimony (for the Democrats), the records of the investigation are all sealed and kept away from Republican scrutiny, etc., etc.
If it comes to the floor of the House, there will be a vote and a lot of freshmen Democratic representatives will be on the spot. The rumored number of defecting might even be enough to have the impeachment motion fail to pass. If they do stay loyal and pass the impeachment, all those vulnerable Democrat House representatives will now have their loyalty votes to impeach hung around their necks in the next election. The Republicans will flail them down to raw muscle and bone during the election cycle.
The Democrats may be able to save at least some of those seats if the full House never has to vote. The way to make that happen is to have the impeachment effort fail in committee. It would only take a few veteran Democrats (hopefully already planning on retiring from safe districts) voting against impeachment to end the matter and maybe even offer a censure resolution as an alternative. Those Democrats need to be identified and paid off since this vote, necessary as it may be, is not going to be understood by the party fanatics and will make their reelection impossible. Some sort of compensation for what they will go through is going to be required. If this is going to happen, the players and the price is being worked out right now.
This is just speculation but a failing impeachment vote in committee tomorrow morning would be pretty convenient.
BTW, JEDNCS
I’ll bet the majority whip texted him and said “no go” on the needed votes.
Sounds like they know that they don’t have the votes so it’s pressure and threat time.
