Don’t Investigate Pelosi — Debate Her

"Shhhhh, we're not supposed to talk about in public though."

Ah yes, that's right - "don't question our patriotism".

At some point it will become literally impossible not to.

It is underreported that Speaker Pelosi's recent entourage has included the winner of the "Write Like Mark Twain Award," as he prepares a long-awaited sequel to Innocents Abroad.

An indictment against Pelosi under the Logan Act.

One "non-partisan" special prosecutor deserves another IMHO. (If only the White House had the spine to do it.)

Brilliant! I likes it....

[Safetgiver]

But is this really a law-enforcement issue? ...It is the law, she broke it, now punish her the same as the “little people.”

The president can not only win that debate. He can use this opportunity to illustrate how damaging the criminalization of politics is in a democracy. He can stress that policy is something the Framers committed to the good judgment of an informed citizenry, not to the courts. And he can trenchantly separate himself from his knee-jerk “let’s appoint a prosecutor” critics by pointedly explaining that he trusts the American people, not the judicial system, to decide such matters as whether they really want détente Pelosi-style.

No, this is simply more of the same. It isn't a "knee-jerk" to enforce the law! Ms. Pelosi is no more above the law, particularly law written specifically on this subject, than any other citizen.

Pelosi should be arrested and prosecuted under the Logan Act.

Republicans have taken the gentlemanly, "be above it all" approach for far too long.

You can't win a street fight with debate. Democrats have been fighting a dirty street fight for years, and too many Republicans just don't get it.

Don’t debate her, don’t investigate her, just arrest and prosecute her.

[tiredoflaundry]

Why are Republicans targets , and Democrats untouchable?
