Pelosi considering holding up sending articles to the Senate
Kyle Cheney ^

Posted on 12/18/2019 3:13:48 PM PST by janetjanet998

Rep. Blumenauer says he has approached Pelosi about this and said she indicated she's "considering it." He argued that a delay would allow the House to continue collecting evidence and possibly win favorable court rulings to advance their case.

“Impeach - and then find some evidence”... same thing they’ve been doing.

She’ll have a hard time saying the Clinton impeachment rules, which the Senate plans on using, are unfair.

A delay will just about send the Democrat/Left Party's whacked-out base over the edge. "Impeachment ... Impeachment ... Impeachment" was to be the Democrat/Left's Christmas gift -- er, I mean the Left's "Holiday" gift -- to their long-suffering emotionally-charged base which will simply not abide a further indefinite delay.

But wait a minute. If the President is an existential threat to the Republic ( As many Dems have claimed) isn't it their duty to proceed with all possible haste. Wasn't that their excuse for not going through the courts to opine on the 'Contempt of Congress" charge ?

I realize logic and reasoning is not their strong point but they could at least try.

" "Impeachment ... Impeachment ... Impeachment" "

Wait until the dummies on the Left realize Impeachment does not mean he leaves office. That's when stuff hits the fan with the Den base. They're all so stoopid.

Can we consider parading around the likeness of your severed bloody head for comedic relief, Nancy Satan?

Halloween’s over, Satan. Get off my porch. Your costume SUCKS.

Maybe.

Maybe nor.
After all the purpose of impeachment is to send the impeached to trial.
It’s not an end in itself.

Beats me.

1) They know it’s DOA in the Senate.
2) They lost their only narrative.
3) But Botoxic has to know that her whackadoodle base would go insane if she does this.

Senate rules requiring the House to “immediately” present its articles of impeachment to the Senate clearly violate the constitutional clause in Article I giving each house the sole power to make its own rules. It’s up to the House when and how to prosecute its case in the Senate

“You CANT hold up impeachment articles for treasonous activities where you have claimed that the president is a threat to the nation by remaining in office.”

God ... I love this post! Using democrats’ own words against them.

Blumenauer said he has spoken with Hoyer, Schiff and Jeffries about this tactic - along with over three dozen other members.

“Everybody is interested,” Blumenauer said.

Pelosi’s office has declined to say when the articles will be transmitted.

it sounds like they want it held up to me, that way they think they can still keep investigating Trump. They will be trouble until they lose majority.

That’s true ... I think Pelosi — for all her mental disabilities — is a crafty enough politician to know that impeaching Trump like this is a nuclear-level blow to the Democrat/Left Party and may very well cost them the House. I think she’s desperate for a way around holding the vote but her options and time are running out.
