Will Speaker Pelosi withhold articles of impeachment from Senate until guaranteed a fair trial?

[rightwinger]

I love it!
McConnell will just rush a vote and blow it away

Why not just wait until the election?
If Trump wins and Dems take the Senate....THEN you vote on impeachment

What is the hurry?

LMAO! You REALLY believe that the commie left has a snowball's chance in hell in taking the senate and having a 60 to 40 majority? This is the lamest coup attempt ever and of course you are waving that leftard rainbow colored flag.

Is there anything in the Constitution that says the House must immediately send articles of impeachment to the Senate?

There is nothing that says you must fill a Supreme Court Seat

We have these people called "voters". Totally unfamiliar to you communists, apparently. They get to make that call.

Yes, and you should be completely disheartened and embarrassed by that.

Facing overwhelming evidence for Trump's brazen corruption, not one Republican in the House found it in himself to condemn it.

Moreover, despite Trump's belittling and unconstitutional emasculation of a co-equal branch of government, not one Republican in the House found it in himself to stand up for the institution in which they proudly serve, and condemn Trump.

That was yesterday's finding, and it's even more devastating than what the investigation into Trump's Mob Boss government revealed.

Then to turn around and to blame Democrats for the Republicans' lack of moral fiber and spine, should count as the new definition of "chutzpah".

Overwhelming evidence of brazen corruption? Seriously? He asked the President of the Ukraine to look into apparent corruption between the Biden family and Burisma. The "corruption" isn't from Trump...he's the one asking the authorities to look INTO apparent corruption! Does it suck for Joe Biden that he's been exposed at what he and his son have been doing? Yeah it does! It probably cost him whatever slim chance he had at getting the Democratic nomination! Does that mean he should have gotten a "pass" on what he and his son were doing? Why? Because he's running for office? That let's you be corrupt but untouchable? This isn't Trump doing a Hillary and paying someone to fabricate lies about his opponent. This is a President of the United States who was concerned about Quid Pro Quo between a previous administration's Vice President and the Ukraine.

Thanks for admitting this attack on Biden probably cost him his shot at the White House. That was always Impeached Trump's goal from the start and now even you admit Impeached Trump may have succeeded.

And because Impeached Trump solicited a foreign national to do his dirty work, Impeached Trump is now impeached. That legacy will endure the remainder of this country.

If exposing Biden cost him his shot at the White House...that's on Biden...not on Trump! What's with you liberals, Faun? You seem to think you are entitled to cash in on your office...all the while whining about how rich people are being coddled by the GOP!

I don't know why you think the House impeaching Trump is going to amount to anything more than a small fart in a strong wind! It's obvious this was totally political. It's obvious this was never about High Crimes and Misdemeanors! It's about getting Trump out of office in any way you can. It's about the left being scared shitless that they don't have a candidate or a platform that can beat him in the upcoming election!

Biden did nothing wrong, lying con tool. You've now shown how effective Impeached Trump's attack on Biden was. And since his attack included the solicitation of a foreign national to aid his attack, he broke the law, for which he was rightfully impeached.

How do you know what Biden did or didn't do? The left has now made it "illegal" to investigate anything that a Democrat does while they are even contemplating running for office! Amazing since you all felt it was perfectly fine to not only investigate Donald Trump and everyone even remotely connected to HIS campaign but to pay foreign nationals make up lies about them! Your ongoing double standard continues to amuse!

The left has done no such thing, ya lying con tool.

Di you ever stop lying?

Ever??

Some House Democrats push Pelosi to withhold impeachment articles, delaying Senate trial

When will Speaker Pelosi send Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for trial? Apparently that is her choice if/when she sends them over for trial. It sounds like she is strategically waiting for feedback from McConnell about the rules/procedures - and FAIRNESS. If she thinks it's just going to be a sham trial - she may not send them over. The Articles of Impeachment DO NOT EXPIRE - not next year; not next Congress; not ever.

What do you think?

Funny how they are wanting a FAIR trail when they did not give the same to the republicans in the impeachment hearings. Sorry Schumer you dont get to make the shots anymore

They haven't made it illegal to investigate a Democrat running for office? Really! So what exactly are they impeaching Trump for? Duh?

Or are you still attempting to defend Hillary Clinton not knowing about how Fusion GPS was spending all that money she and the DNC gave them? Poor Hillary! She's the most clueless person ever to hit Washington! She doesn't know anything about anything! Yet despite that...she called herself the "most qualified person EVER to run for President!"! I love you liberals...you go with the most absurd talking points ever floated and run around bellowing about how OTHERS are "lying"!

 

[Lakhota]

Gives new meaning to TRUMP's phrase of the "do nothing democrats"...

The democrats impeachment is based on the claim of TRUMP abusing power and obstructing congress...

So Pelosi thinks it's going to help win support by continuing to abusing her power and obstructing the senate.

Funny. She is not obstructing the Senate.

Funny - she most certainly is obstructing the Senate by WITHHOLDING articles of impeachment!

She's not obstructing the Senate anymore than McConnell is obstructing the House by not holding votes on the 400 House bills on McConnell's desk - 175 of which are bipartisan bills.

CORRECTION: McConnell is actually blocking 275 House bills - not just 175.

Each one is a perfect bill and should be passed immediately

 

[WEATHER53]

So Nancy won’t turn it over for judgement thus Mitch declares null and void. Kinda like being charged but then prosecutor drops it. Dems avoid another embarrassing loss, they weren’t defeated but simply forfeited and that’s a nice save face for them They lise their attempt to stain Trump with “Impeachment” because they failed to complete the process.
Win win and save face for all.

What do you think?

The impeachment itself, wasn't even fair. They didn't vote at all on the evidence, because there was none. They voted almost entirely on party lines. In fact, the only people who didn't were the 3 democrats who admitted there was nothing to impeach Trump on, and voted against it.

So if Nancy wants to withhold the impeachment articles until Trump wins the next election.... That's fine. He won't be removed. That's all you really need to know.

You never stop lying, do ya, lying con tool. Impeached Trump was impeached for trying to get Biden investigated illegally. Impeached Trump could have done so legally but chose illegal methods instead.

So no, it's not a crime to investigate Biden even though he's running for office -- as long is the law is followed.

As far as Hillary, you still offer no proof other than you citing yourself; but you're a lying con tool as demonstrated here yet again.

It is common for a gap between an indictment and a trial
Since Trump is not in prison, there is no reason for a rush to trial

Impeached President Trump has plenty of time to be tried

I think the DNC is the biggest hypocritical pile of dogshit in the nation, every intelligent voter should see right through them.

They held a star chamber and a kangaroo investigative hearing to deliberate the articles in the house that was patently unfair, refusing to let the GOP have their own minority day of hearings. . .

. . .and now they are worried that the trial should be, I quote from your source, "At a minimum, there ought to be an agreement about access to witnesses, rules of the game, timing," Blumenauer said of a Senate trial."

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?


Go pound sand asshole. The DNC didn't care one whit about, "At minimums," in the house, so why should the GOP care now?

Sure they do. If they aren't filed by the the time the current Congress ends, a new Congress would have to pass them in order to transmit them to the Senate.

I wouldn't sweat it, we'll see what they do with them once they return from holiday.

NANCY PELOSY SOOPER GENIUS REMINDS ME OF OUR CAT WHEN HE GOT HIS HEAD IN A PAPER BAG AND COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT OUT: McConnell gives Pelosi some advice on the word “leverage”.

Why would the Republicans care if Democrats never send the articles to the Senate?”

Now Mitch McConnell weighs in:

McConnell said Schumer wanted “a special pretrial guarantee” that “House Democrats themselves did not bother to pursue as they assembled their case.”​

McConnell also criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for taking the “highly unusual step” of waiting to transmit the approved House articles of impeachment against Trump to the Senate.​

McConnell said he didn’t understand the move by Pelosi and said, while cracking a smile, that he didn’t agree with the idea that delaying the transmission might give her leverage in dictating the rules of the Senate trial.​

“I admit, I’m not sure what leverage there is from refraining from sending us something we do not want,” McConnell said. “But alas, if they can figure that out, they can explain it.”​

Impeachment has jumped the shark.
