Pelosi hints at impeachment over Trump-Ukraine whistleblower complaint
Axios ^

Posted on 09/22/2019 2:33:19 PM PDT by springwater13

In a letter to lawmakers Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) issued a warning about the Trump administration's continued efforts to block acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire from turning over a whistleblower complaint that reportedly involves the president.

"If the Administration persists in blocking this whistleblower from disclosing to Congress a serious possible breach of constitutional duties by the President, they will be entering a grave new chapter of lawlessness which will take us into a whole new stage of investigation."

Between the lines: It's likely that the "new stage of investigation" that Pelosi is referring to is impeachment. House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — who along with Pelosi has refrained from endorsing impeachment until there's enough public support — said Sunday that the whistleblower controversy could leave Democrats with no other choice.

Nancy at 79 and creeping up to # 80 it is time for her to step aside...She is not the smart, knowledgeable genie, she claims she is...

The RATS last chance for 2020 and the Supreme Court is Biden.
If the GOP-e will get out of the way, we could capture all three and replace two more Justices.

They have no one else as Warren is Hillary without the smiling face and 300lbs.

Just a matter of time and they will impeach Trump. They are just stalling to craft the so-called rationale.

Nancy said nothing about impeachment in her letter. The lying sacks at Axios read between the lines:

Between the lines: It’s likely that the “new stage of investigation” that Pelosi is referring to is impeachment.

The whole media went with this between the line lie.

I’m really wondering if Trump is behind a lot of this. The left will fall for anything, so throw out an impeachable offense that can be quickly disproved. We are seeing this weekly. Kind of fun.

“Trump was doing his level best to bring the Bidens to justice.“

With Obama holding support from Biden, might be interesting to see if Biden’s kid will make a deal with the Feds for Obama and Clinton.

“It would have a 100% probability of failure in the Senate.”

near 100% chance of failure in the House too because there are quite a few Dem House members in districts that Trump won in 2016 that can’t vote for impeachment without committing political suicide ... that’s the REAL reason the Dems are pussy-footing around about impeachment instead of just doing it: they’re concerned they’d lose the House in 2020 and all for a meaningless gesture since they’d lose in the Senate anyway ... the best they can do is talk about it all the time, pretending to their rabid base that they’re actually gonna do something ...

Well stated. And they have about 60 years of the media knowing even less than they do and unable to challenge them on points of fact or chronology.

The House has no right or expectation for the President to turn over to congress confidential classified discussions with other heads of state.

The Complaint has the same integrity as the Steele Dossier.

Nancy is stepping in it.

a serious possible breach of constitutional duties by the President

And what duty, pray, would that be?

Exactly. And the parties involved categorically deny that Biden‘s name even came up. What is that they say about throwing a rock into a pack of dogs?

Biden and Pelosi are desperately trying to deflect Biden’s direct involvement in Ukraine by clinging to this false Whistleblower story.

I think what Pelosi is doing....is trying to get the house to vote on impeachment....since what Nadler is doing is not "House Approved"....and as I see it.....illegal.

So they will cancel that "interrogation" and go for a house vote for impeachment. And it will fail. And Nadler will get p****....but at least she will have stopped him from carrying on like a wild hyena caught in mire.

We've had non-stop, literally non-stop sore-loser BS from the 'rats since the '16 election. Their chosen one, the Hillary, was supposed to win. In spite of all their fake news, fake polls, illegal FISA BS, surveillance, leaks, and election fraud, she actually lost. She will perhaps be remembered as the most un-electable candidate in history to have lost that one.

So the 'rats collectively lost their minds. They had no plan B, nowhere to go. They had had a pretty good run for 8 years and expected the leftist, socialist, big-government, payoffs to continue. Only the gravy train derailed. Worse, President Trump is actually doing just about everything candidate Trump said he would do. This is biblical, end-of-the-world level stuff to the leftists. So they've spun off out of control doing anything and every thing that comes to their silly minds. Every idiotic fantasy their twisted little brains can concoct they try to sell. Russia Russia Russia, impeach impeach impeach, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. If President Trump were 1/100th as corrupt and lawless as they make him out to be, dozens of them would have already met with Clinton-esque "accidents." Obviously President Trump is either the most patient and gentle international criminal ever, or they're wrong.

But what really makes me smile, seriously, is imagining how the leftists will lose what little remains of their minds if/when President Trump wins a second term. It seems likely, given the strength of the economy and job market. People tend to vote with or for their wallets. The 'rats have no viable candidate, none. President Trump, a master deal maker and yes, master manipulator, is playing the left and their lapdog MSM like a cheap fiddle. (which is still worth considerably more than they are) He has gotten them to go so far off the rails, show themselves as the radical leftist party... I have to believe the 'rats have alienated an epic percentage of the middle vote. It is the middle of the road voters that determine elections. President Trump has given them national security wins, economic gains, lower unemployment...and all the 'rats have to offer is freebies for foreigners while making up stories about alleged foreign influence... I believe the middle is going to abandon the 'rats in numbers never seen before. As they used to love to say about bammy - unprecedented.

If and when that happens I'd expect something like self-immolation on live TV from the leftists. Only they are far to self-centered and conceited to actually follow-through. Heck, I don't think one person who threatened to move out of the Country if candidate Trump was elected actually followed through. Or if they did, I guess no-one noticed they left. Didn't leave behind as big of a hole as their over-inflated egos thought they would. If/when we have President Trump being sworn in again, I expect the left to go absolutely berserk. While it will be great for America, it will also be a dangerous time as the left gets even more violent. They know that after 8 years of President Trump it may be decades before they get another chance to move America so far to the left. I don't expect them to take defeat lightly.
