Ignored Argument 4: Democrats have no reason to wait
what may be the shrewdest political calculation of all:
Putting Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate in the
position of acquitting a president the House has calmly and deliberately proven to be a criminal.
To repeat Adam Jentleson’s formula,
“The decision not to impeach is not a decision to focus on other things,
it is a decision to cede power, control, and legitimacy to Trump.”
Surely Nancy Pelosi is too smart to do that.

House Democrats Can Issue An Impeachment Verdict Without Going Through The GOP Senate
Democrats in the House of Representatives have the power to reach a verdict on impeachment without having to go through Republicans in the Senate.
At least that’s what legal scholar and professor Laurence Tribe said on Monday in an interview with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi.
Tribe said that in the Watergate era – when Richard Nixon ultimately had to resign the presidency in disgrace –
the House of Representatives didn’t just send charges to the U.S. Senate. They reached a verdict.
In the case of Donald Trump, the professor says House Democrats can follow the same roadmap.
“You don’t need to be afraid of the big bad Mitch McConnell,” Tribe said.
“The House of Representatives at the last minute can decide either to present articles of impeachment or to wrap it up itself,
issue a condemnation of the president for having committed high crimes and misdemeanors with specific factual findings and
then make him carry that scarlet ‘I’ for impeachability into the 2020 election.”

He filed a brief in the nation’s second-most-important court that takes the
position that Congress cannot investigate the president,
except possibly in impeachment proceedings.
It’s a spectacularly anti-constitutional brief,
and anyone who harbors such attitudes toward our Constitution’s architecture is not fit for office.
Trump’s brief is nothing if not an invitation to commencing impeachment proceedings
that, for reasons set out in the Mueller report, should have already commenced.

I read the with impeachment of the President, any Executive privilege is effectively nullified, useless, so Congress can obtain EVERYTHING.
I still bet Pelosi STILL won't start impeachment.
Fuck the feckless, dickless, spineless, gutless, effete Dems
No different from the Trash and Repugs: politics is more important than law enforcement

Pelosi’s Latest Statement on Impeachment Isn’t Just Wrong, It’s Eerily Similar to Trump Argument

Pelosi this morning said that
the House should not open an inquiry into the President “unless you’re ready to impeach.”
She said the Senate would need to understand that senators either “honor their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”
9:29 AM - Jun 19, 2019
The absolute inanity of Pelosi’s statement was immediately pounced on by none other than George Conway – spouse of the Trump Administration’s favorite Hatch Act violator.
Conway remarked that Pelosi’s statement was
“like saying that a grand jury should not be empaneled unless it’s ready to indict and a petit jury is ready to convict.”
the speaker’s directive to Congress misstates the entire process of impeachment.
Pelosi’s erroneous premise – that Congress cannot or should not investigate until it is ready to impeach – is not only illogical.
It’s also eerily similar to what Trump is arguing in his appeal of the congressional subpoena issued to finance firm, Mazars USA.
All of Pelosi’s comments about impeachment can be explained by
her calculation that an impeachment process is politically harmful to Democrats, and specifically those in the House.
She doesn’t want to go as far as saying that the facts outlined in the Mueller Report don’t warrant impeachment, so
she is instead saying things that don’t make sense.
Pelosi’s expertise is in navigating politics, not trials.
And impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one.
“Pelosi wants to bob and weave until the subject fully changes to the 2020 election.”

Pelosi:
"We have six committees working on following the facts in terms of any abuse of power, obstruction of justice and the rest that the president may have engaged in," she said at a news conference.
"That is the serious path we’re on :lol — not that Mr. Green is not serious, but we'll deal with that on the floor."
Mueller handed her 10? acts of obstruction, "serious clown" Pelosi does nothing, but fuck around with committee circle jerks, for probably months, all of the committees are being obstructed by Barr/Trash.
Now what? not a fucking move
:lmao someone's upset... looks like it's just another loon from the left. :lolQuote:
