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."

That isn’t the signature date, that is a form version date. It could very well be that the negotiated agreement was negotiated off of a form agreement and they simpy didn’t change the version number as they modified terms and conditions. It happens all of the time in contract negotiations.

She’s been suspiciously QUIET these past few weeks. Either her ‘handlers’ told her to STFU and she actually listened to them, or she’s been heavily medicated.

The Dems are going DOWN in the mid-terms and 2020 is going to be a cake walk for President Trump’s re-election..

My Dad is 81. He’s in diapers. HOW THE FECK do these CongressCritters LIVE THIS LONG with their faculties still intact while being life-long INSANE, Hate-Filled, Anti-American Socialists?

I’m betting they do NOT. Case in point? Pelosi, McCain and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Even with Dem House and Senate, removal requires 2/3 of Senate. Won’t happen!

Praying for the blue wave and hope the target is in range. Personally, after the red tsunami, wait on swearing-in eve, declassify everything and fire Muller, Sessions and Rosenstien. Worst DNC humiliation ever....and most of the media would die of heart attacks.

Pelosi, even in her present state of dementia, can read the tea leaves.....If the left keeps advocating impeachment, it will serve as an incentive for conservative voters to go to the poles in November.

The TPTB obviously don’t fear the deplorables.

They will.

All Marxist Liberals are already insane. Pelosi is their leader along with her twin Madd Maxine.

Pelosi might be corrupt, but she's no dummy

If she's smart enough, she'll get it that they're ALL corrupt. They go after President Trump, and everyone will be going after every one else. Nobody in DC will be left standing.

As near as I can figure spirit cooking/fetal tissue/blood young of children. That, and Satan protects his own.

As I continue to point out, Trump didn’t break the law, Cohen agreed to a non-existent crime, and Lanny Davis is a hack

Was that agreement really signed on April 24th, or are they just using a standard court form whose latest revision was created on April 24th?

Let her change her tune. After the elections the Democrats will be an even greater minority. They won’t have the power or the ability to impeach President Trump.

First of all, the dems have to win enough seats to get her into the Speaker’s chair.

It’s not going to happen.

Look for yourself. It is a standard letter format, not a form. The “Rev. 04.24.2018” appears in the footer of each page. It might be a “form date”, that really doesn’t make much sense since there is no “form” to date. It was signed and dated “8/21/18” by Cohen and his lawyer Guy Petrillo, (NOT Lanny Davis!!).

My conclusion is that Cohen agreed to this back in April and part of the deal was to sign and announce it when the Deep State thought it would be most to their advantage.

Not a priority is not the same as won’t happen. Nutty Nancy likely means there won’t be an impeachment vote unless she is sure there’s a majority in favor.

Impeach Trump and the Lives of Leftist Media won’t be worth a plug nickel.
