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."

Mueller WILL present an impeachment report to Congress. That’s a foregone conclusion now. It doesn’t matter whether the dems take control or not...it will give the rinos and neverTrumpers a fig leaf in which to impeach. And they WILL. They will be compelled to uphold the rule of law dontchaknow.

This IS a fait accomplis thanks to Jeff Sessions. The question is are the deplorables going to take this lying down?

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.

Exactly

Hogg breath boy has pushed poor, decrepit, old Nan outta da way.

She’s just mumbling, over in the corner, about the time she wielded some power.

What’s next for Nan? Perhaps a tablecloth muu muu?

Why would they copy the Clinton model and impeach into certain Senate defeat?

Trump is no more impeachable than Obama was. His die-hard base is too big.

“And she knows what will happen if the Dems impeach on fraudulent grounds and then don’t remove.”

Democrats are not going to repeat the Clinton mistake.

Trump is no more impeachable than Obama was.

Their base will demand it. Why did they try to filibuster Gorsuch? They are fanatics, and hope to somehow replay ‘74 where Republican Senators ask him to resign, led by freshman Senator Romney.

Rat fight coming. The Tom Steyer-backed impeachment idiots will demand that Pelosi be deposed ASAP before the elections.
