Pelosi says impeachment ‘not a priority’ after Cohen's guilty plea
The Hill ^ | 8/22/18 | EMILY BIRNBAUM

Posted on 08/22/2018 5:12:02 PM PDT by Libloather

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday said impeaching President Trump is "not a priority," despite Michael Cohen's guilty plea to campaign finance violations that implicated the president.

"Impeachment has to spring from something else," Pelosi, who has long downplayed the possibility of impeachment, told The Associated Press.

**SNIP**

"If and when the information emerges about that, we'll see," Pelosi said. "It's not a priority on the agenda going forward unless something else comes forward."

Pelosi might be corrupt, but she is no dummy. After the November elections she will change her tune.

She’s trying to appeal to moderates by pretending they won’t impeach with a single-seat majority. But if the pattern holds, the Bernie gang will trash her for not being more openly committed to impeachment, and increase calls for a new Dem leader in the House.

She didn’t use to be a dummy. She’s got creeping dementia now, but some slyness remains.

She truly is senile. If the Democrats take the House, the will hold impeachment hearings within days, vote on a bill within a month.

No, Pelosi knows if the Dems run on impeachment openly the trump non traditional voters engage, show up and the D’s lose and the R’s likely gain seats in the house.

Crazier the D’s act the worse they will do, best path for the D’a Is to shut up.

But their base won’t Let them.

The libtard rope a dope, they are trying to keep the moderates on the plantation, but I don’t think they are buying it.

Your party can’t shout impeachment everyday for a year and a half then a few months before an election say it isn’t a priority.

The libtards screwed themselves, they did the same stuff with Bush is 2002 and they LOST seats

If Democrats get the house in Nov they will impeach Trump. They’ll make up a reason. The Senate won’t convict (unless by small chance Dems take that too).

San Fran Nan may be three neurons over a flatline but she can still count to 67. And she knows what will happen if the Dems impeach on fraudulent grounds and then don’t remove.

I agree, they should have started that in January after the tax cuts, instead they just double down on their retardness

At that statement, she must have spontaneously turned into a pile of ash and was then reconstituted by the blood of illegal aliens brought in to serve her.

Even a senile low IQ hag like Nancy knows the danger in trying to impeach and convict a president whose popular policies are supported by the majority of voters.

But I hope the extreme crazies like Maxine Waters keep talking about impeachment. It’s clear the Rats have no agenda other than “Trump is a racist Nazi:” That’s a winning platform, LMAO.

How about this! Cohen’s plea deal was signed & agreed upon on APRIL 24, FOUR months ago! Why did this become public knowledge 10 minutes after Manafort’s conviction...Kabuki theater anyone? #WWG1WGA

I guess Pelosi is no longer relevant since, no one on her side is listening

Which is fine by me
