On Thursday at her weekly press briefing, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the American people were “not going to decide” if President Donald Trump should be impeached.
When asked about the impeachment timeline, Pelosi said, “I keep saying to people, impeachment is about the truth and the Constitution of the United States. Any other issues that you have, disapproving of the way the president has dealt with Syria, whatever the subject is, reluctance, the cowardice to do something about gun violence, the cruelty of not wanting to help our Dreamers and transgender people, the denial about the climate crisis that we face, the list goes on, that’s about the election. That has nothing to do with what is happening in terms of our oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution and the facts that might support. And we don’t know where this path will take us, it could take us down further path but the two are completely separate.”
A reporter asked, “At what point might you say let’s just let the voters decide.”
Pelosi said, “The voters are not going to decide whether we honor our oath of office. They already decided that in the last election.”

Coup plotting and treason—pure and simple.
I guess it’s not working out the way she hoped. Deep state corruptocracy wants Trump gone and they are pulling the strings on this.
Seems to me the voters did something else in the last election, too, Nancy...and you want to take it away from them.
We don’t need no stinking people!
Stalinist. San Fran Crap In The Streets Nan.
She’s channeling George III.
He gave you a DREAMER deal and you rejected it. Do you think we’re all idiots out here?
All proglib issues Nan.
The other 64 million voters have a list of their own.
The prog's crap is not on it.
Which is why... Hillary. Lost.
.
Pelousy wants to rig her way into the White House
(and NOT just as an exceptionally rude guest)
The fact that this clueless bimbo (she however does an incomparable job at leading the most corrupt political party in the multiverse) is in government is proof that mental ability and morality is NOT a requirement to be a congresscritter.
Right.
Just who the HELL do these American Citizens think they are, anyway? Bunch of damned Serfs is all we are and that is just the way the DC looks at us.
Did we not have a similar situation in 1775?
OOOOHHHHHH I PRAY the RNC has that on tape!!!! They need to make a campaign ad and run it 24/7... she is telling ALL AMERICANS fu we don’t need your freakin votes!!!! OOOOHHH PLLLLLEEEZZ make it soooooo!! Nail in the coffin!!!
We're going to make d@mn sure that those of you who haven't, and haven't for DECADES, are going to be DECIMATED come 2020, Bish.
Remember when Nancy "deemed and schemed" ObamaCare out of the House and into the Senate by "deeming' it was fully vetted and passed?
She is using the same play book for impeachment. Because she "deemed" that impeachment started, just like magic, it started! The royal "we" rules the day.
Article 2, Clause 5: The House of Representatives .... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
This means action by the WHOLE House by a vote, not by decrees from Queen Nancy, Princess Omar, Princess 'MFer' Tlaib, Princess Ocasio-Cortez, Grand Inquisitor Nadler, or Torquemada Schiff.
The Constitution does not provide for secret grand jury methods as an on-ramp for impeachment. Trump needs to sue for his Constitutionally guaranteed rights. The Constitution holds that the House - the while House - has the sole power to impeach. Not the Speaker of the House, not a BS committee chairman in the House, and not any single member of the House - but the House collectively. That means a VOTE in the whole House.
The House can have all the phony baloney rules it wants. The President/Executive, then, as an independent branch, should have its own rules about not cooperating with fake impeachment until the entire House votes to go for an impeachment inquiry as has been the tradition since the beginning.
She keeps saying that.
Pelosi is deranged and should be forced to stand down.
Impeachment is very much an electoral process.
What she has just defined is tyranny and a star chamber secret court
Wait until you see what we decide next election, Nan.
I don’t think she knows what it means.
