Pelosi argues Trump 'cannot be acquitted,' suggests defense team should be disbarred.

In scathing comments Thursday as her party appeared on the verge of defeat in the Senate impeachment trial, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi argued that President Trump "cannot be acquitted" if the trial lacks the witness testimony and documentation that Democrats have been seeking.

The San Francisco Democrat also fired on Trump's impeachment defense team, saying they've "disgraced themselves" during this week's trial and suggesting they deserve disbarment over their trial remarks.

Last year nadler begged pelosi for the chair of the judiciary committee. ..nads promised her that he is the only one that can impeach Trump. He did this day one when the rat party took control of the house. ...if anyone thinks this impeachment is about a phone call is simply a fool. pelosi legacy is destroyed. Nadler too. ...as for schiff. ..he’ll figure a way to lie to escape punishment.

The media should be asking but you know that is not going to happen.

That she is acting this way suggests to me that she was encouraged by some Never Trumpers (Romney, etc.) to pursue impeachment, and told that they would work with her behind the scenes to back-stab Trump in the Senate.

It's just wild conjecture, but she seems too unglued.

She’s reaching for the Everclear right about now.

She is delusional. The House did not have a valid reason to impeach, and it is not the job of the Senate to come up with reasons.

Nasty Pelozi, Adam Schitt and Nadler couldn't make the case for impeachment because there was no crime committed. Now Nasty is whining because the senate isn't playing along with her charade. She's too drunk to realize that this clown show is making Trump more popular then ever. It must suck to constantly be made to look like a fool by someone you hate so much. Hey Nasty, suck on it.

I believe Nancy Pelosi's effective power as Speaker of the House is in fact over. Even if the Democrats retain control of the house after 2020, it is unlikely that the caucus will continue her in the speakership. She's become a laughing stock for half the country and all liability for the other half.

She controls the speakership by virtue of her power to raise money and distribute it to obedient caucus members for reelection. AOC has demonstrated to the world that there are other sources of money and the power of Nancy Pelosi to intimidate or subsidize has been revealed to be illusory because there is another game in town.

Pelosi's second source of power was that she acted as the bell mare for the feminist movement in the Democrat party which is, along with African-Americans, the foundation of all Democrat electoral chances. Only the truest of believers, those women who fell on their knees and howled at the announcement that Donald Trump had won the election, can see her as anything but a spent force.

Judging from the turnout in southern New Jersey for the Trump rally, my best guess nine months before the election is that the Democrats will lose the House. Nancy Trump is desperately trying to evade the fallout from the impeachment fiasco but even with the help of the media, which she will certainly get, enough of the American people have reached a judgment and she will be seen by both Democrats and Republicans, and by feminists as well, as the woman who played politics with impeachment.

Nancy Pelosi is as dead politically as a newly hammered in, nail, period!

You know, a newly hammered in nail is very useful - it's doing what a nail is supposed to, holding stuff together.

I rather think of her as the nail that was bent driving in. It was useful to start with - straight, shiny, new, a life of usefulness ahead of it. But now it's too twisted, bent and ugly to leave in the structure. It's useless. It needs to be ripped out and thrown into the scap pile where all cutoffs go, and forgotten.

I will argue it is much simpler

It has dawned on Nancy Pelosi that she is actually irrelevant. Her efforts at impeachment are valued at naught.

Her ridiculous lashing out is panic

Remember the time when President Trump said in November of 2018 he would help House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi become speaker of the House in January 2019 if she is unable to garner enough votes in her caucus? He knew she’d lead them down a road to self destruction by just letting her expose all the hate, anger and delusional thought the Dems have toward him and our country... it’s worked perfectly!

“Nazi Pelosi needs to explain what Paul Pelosi Jr did in Ukraine.”

And I would request him as a witness along with Kerry’s kid and Whitey’s kid. I would also subpoena the financial records of the Clinton Foundation and every Democrat suspected of ties to Ukraine.

Anticipating an acquittal, Nancy is firing up her fellow TDS-unhinged Demonicrats in hope that one of her lunatic fringe will try something drastic.

A political party, whose ideology promotes the horrific slaughter of preborn infants, has no self-restraint on their use of violence to achieve domination.

I would like to see someone like Dershowitz sue Pelosi who would say her political speech is non-actionable, have Dershowitz fight and win that point and have Pelosi claim mental instability as a defense......one can dream, right?

Outcome based judicial proceedings. The new leftist concept to sweep the Democrat party.

Hitler in the bunker syndrome on display here. Which is the only legit usage of the name “Hitler” in politics.
