Pelosi tells Dems she wants to see Trump ‘in prison’
The Politico ^ | June 5, 2019 | Heather Caygle

Speaker Nancy Pelosi told senior Democrats that she’d like to see President Donald Trump “in prison” as she clashed with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler in a meeting on Tuesday night over whether to launch impeachment proceedings.

Pelosi met with Nadler (D-N.Y.) and several other top Democrats who are aggressively pursuing investigations against the president, according to multiple sources. Nadler and other committee leaders have been embroiled in a behind-the-scenes turf battle for weeks over ownership of the Democrats’ sprawling investigation into Trump.

Nadler pressed Pelosi to allow his committee to launch an impeachment inquiry against Trump — the second such request he’s made in recent weeks only to be rebuffed by the California Democrat and other senior leaders. Pelosi stood firm, reiterating that she isn’t open to the idea of impeaching Trump at this time.

“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Pelosi said, according to multiple Democratic sources familiar with the meeting. Instead of impeachment, Pelosi still prefers to see Trump defeated at the ballot box and then prosecuted for his alleged crimes, according to the sources.

They said she was expressing solidarity with pro-impeachment Democrats who want to hold the president accountable while disputing the idea that it is now time to take that step. Pelosi has long argued that certain conditions must be met before Democrats begin impeachment — public support and strong bipartisan backing, neither of which have so far materialized.

The conservatives have been calling for Hillary to go to prison, ‘lock her up’! so now the Dems parrot the call with Trump’s name inserted in place of Hillary because..... Karl Marx: “Accuse Your Enemy Of What You Are Doing”

Is that an actual quote from Marx? Because that is exactly what they have done and are doing still, particularly when it comes to "collusion" with Russia.

The lines of division are pretty clear. Half of us think hillary and obumber should be in jail, and they think Trump and his supporters should be in jail. That is the line of division, not abortion, not the border, not fiscal policy, the list goes on and on. The msm has effectively made this a popularity contest, not the serious debate of the direction of our country. Trump is the only player in all this that just wants to do what is best for America and Americans.

There's very strong public support among Trump supporters for decorating DC cherry trees with seditious Congressscum.

She wants to see Trump in prison?

Why on earth would she think he’d ever come visit her?

Pelosi is playing both sides of her side of the fence in a lose-lose situation. She knows that impeachment works both ways, since all of the evidence will become part of the public record. The Democrats can not hide behind FISA court abuse, the FBI and DOJ ignoring their own policies, and ignoring established rules of evidence and legal procedure.

At the same time, they made their deal with the devil to cover for Hillary's pay-for-play and complete disregard of national security by looking the other way and trying to frame Trump to cover for it. For the last three years, all the Democrats have had to offer is getting rid of Trump. If they come up empty, or have the facts come out publically so hard the news can't cover it up for them, they lose big.

"They really want a shooting war. And for some bizarre reason they thing they could win it."

DemRATs would ask a foreign power to intervene on their behalf. Then we would see who it was they sold us out to.

Gee whiz. Sounds like they’re working themselves into a frenzy. Next thing you know they’ll open fire on Ft. Sumter.

There’s a little Nazi hiding inside of every liberal, pining for the day they can build their concentration camps.

"Then we would see who it was they sold us out to."

So who would we have to nuke, and will they be willing to face extinction for Nancy?

They didn’t worry about any crimes. Hillary was a sure thing. Then “we the people” stepped in and screwed up everything. Rush Limbaugh is dead on. The left hates us more than Trump, he’s just their whipping boy. Someday they’ll come for us. That’s the day we fight or die.
