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

[Kondor3]

...Well because he didn't do worse. In fact, he didn't do anything.

Incorrect.

The United States House of Representatives has just declared otherwise.

The Orange Autocrat has been impeached.

 

[Faun]

The Articles of Impeachment DO NOT EXPIRE - not next year; not next Congress; not ever.

They will expire when McConnell sets the trial date. Once Pisslosi doesn’t turn over the required paperwork, vote to dismiss. Case closed.

And Impeached Trump will still be impeached.

What meaningful legislation can they pass with one branch of congress?...

None. In order to accomplish things for The American People, they have to work with the Senate, and unless they have overwhelming support in both Houses, they have to work with The President.

... If you like what the president is doing, then you're going to be against Democrats stopping his agenda...

Why would you want to stop his agenda?

Registered voters are feeling more positive about the economy than at any time in the last 18 years, as nearly three quarters, 73 percent, describe the economy as either excellent or good, while only a quarter, 25 percent, say not so good or poor. 26 percent who say it is excellent, which is a new high, and only 6 percent say poor.

"A 50-year low unemployment rate coupled with stocks hitting record highs are adding up to a rosy view of the economy and voters feeling optimistic about their own personal finances. That view of a strong economy seems to be helping President Trump match his highest job approval rating since being elected, despite facing becoming the third president in U.S. history to be impeached this week," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Mary Snow.​

A plurality of registered voters, 45 percent, say the nation's economy will be better next year, while 31 percent say worse. An overwhelming majority, 79 percent, say they are optimistic about their own financial future, while only 18 percent are pessimistic.

A plurality of voters also disapprove of the job Trump has done. A plurality of voters also believe that Trump deserves to be impeached.

If a pollster asked me, I would say I want him impeached because I want the Senate Trial rather than the House's Kangaroo Court.

If you don't have 2/3rds for removal, you are never going to get the Senate to remove, especially during an election year. If the Voters don't want him to continue, they will say so. The Senate isn't going to take the decision out of the hands of the Electorate absent overwhelming support and strong evidence that his continuing in office offers a grave imminent threat. Neither impeachment article is even a statutory crime, the House never cut a single vacation short, and they just packed up and left without appoint managers or filing the impeachment articles with the US Senate, so clearly there is no sense of immediacy on the part of the House.

Yes/Remove was leading until the House Fiasco that just completed and now several polls have the Democrat position under water: CNN, Qpack, USA Today, NPR/PBS, Monmouth and Gallup.

And the economy is great, we have the strongest labor market of our lifetimes, strongest wage growth since Bill Clinton, the DOW setting fresh records all the time closing in on 30% gains for the year, and The Santa Claus Rally ringing in the Election year. Trump's going nowhere, he will be the quite formidable GOP nominee for President.

Trump's Presidency is much more like Clinton's than Dumb and Dumber's, the two dumbest back to back Presidents in US History. Trump himself in some ways is much more like Bill Clinton than either Dumb or Dumber, and similarly he has a knack for infuriating his opponents and causing them to humiliate themselves by overreacting.

Would you say you approve or disapprove of his job performance?

Because a plurality of people say they disapprove of it.

Trump's 2 points higher than Obama was at this point in his Presidency, and his approval numbers are roughly double Congress'

Presidential Job Approval Center

Congress' JARs are always low.and Impeached Trump's JAR is 2 points higher in one poll only and while unemployment rate is 3.5% now but was 8.6% under Obama; and while the Dow 28.4K while it was 12.1K under Obama.

McConnell said that Nancy can hold the articles until hell freezes over, it wouldn't bother him at all.
That delay wouldn't take any precious senate time, so the senate could approve more judges!!

The Icing on the cake will be when Trump (impeached and acquitted) gets to replace Ginsburg!

 

[karpenter]

Wait to see if he wins and Dems take the Senate
THEN impeach

Think Dems Can Win 67 Seats ??

That's assuming she retires or passes away while Impeached Trump is president.

I think Pelosi is holding this back over worries the whistle blower will be compelled to testify.

Funny. I think she's bargaining for a fair Senate trial.

I don't really care what they say.... I looked the evidence. That's what is important. Maybe you missed it, but politicians lie.

And worse, left-wingers rarely do anything but lie. How's Jessie Smollett doing these days?

So... I stand by what I said, which is the truth. Trump hasn't done anything. And none of your blaw blaw blaw changes that.

I think if she is willing to allow Joe and Hunter Biden, Adam Schiff, the Whistleblower and perhaps Clinton, Comey and that crowd to testify, she may get a deal.

 

[eagle1462010]

The left cannot prevent the Confrontation Clause to be ignored. While this is not a CRIMINAL TRIAL....it is still a Trial..............Trump has every right to confront the Whistleblower under the 6th Amendment.

Now they can force the Whistleblower to the stand..........he may just take the 5th and walk away, but he is most definitely a Dem Hack ............with ties to the DNC out the ying yang.

That is why the Dems didn't want him questioned........LOL

And part of the reason they rigged this BS Impeachment..........they are screwed in the Senate and they know it.

[Jantje_Smit]

What do you think?

I think Nancy will be delaying as long as possible so Bernie (and even Warren) can't hold campaign rallies that show how popular the free stuff is that they're promising... that might give the peasants the dangerous idea of voting for a (fake) socialist instead of a loyal corporate puppet...

Sad!

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?

Only someone who feels they have a weak case delays the start of a trial.

Nancy can fool some of the people some of the time.....but she cannot fool all the people all of the time.'

 

[Lumpy 1]

Eh, Trump/Republicans could have the phony impeachment articles overturned and expunged by a simple majority vote in the House and Senate after the 2020 election..

After 2 year of nut case Nancy's failures in the House, Trump/Republicans will likely take the House of Representatives.in my opinion..

... or ... someone who was already told by those in charge of the trial that it will be biased, working directly with the defendant, and is already planning to acquit him no matter what the evidence shows.

 

[karpenter]

and is already planning to acquit him no matter what the evidence shows.

There Is No Direct Evidence Of Anything
Just Hear-Say, Insinuation And Innuendo

Just Keep Saying There Is
Maybe People Will Believe It

Gosh
Will Smoke And Mirrors Work For 11 More Months ??
Polls Are Starting To Show Other-Wise

 

[karpenter]

and is already planning to acquit him no matter what the evidence shows.

Maybe The Senate Will Recuse Itself
Having Seen The Whole House Charade On C-SPAN
