NANCY PELOSI has long been a Republican bogeyman. In 2018 Republican congressional candidates across America built her into a caricature of a wild-eyed, out-of-touch coastal liberal. In fact, Mrs Pelosi is among America’s most calculating politicians. That has frustrated some of those on the left of her caucus, but the leader of the House of Representatives knows that she owes her majority to moderates from conservative districts.
The ODNI contends that the complaint does not meet the statutory definition of an “urgent concern”. It refers to “conduct by someone outside the Intelligence Community,” hence unrelated to any “intelligence activity” that DNI supervises, and it therefore need not be sent to Congress. The ODNI did not reveal who “someone” was, though the president, being outside the intelligence community, could fit the bill. Mr Maguire will testify before the House on September 26th.
Mr Trump’s second argument is that there was no explicit quid pro quo—that he never overtly made aid to Ukraine conditional on its investigating Mr Biden’s son. But a quid pro quo need not be explicitly stated, only understood by both parties. And that is not the only impeachable offence being investigated. If what is alleged is true, Mr Trump invited a foreign nation to interfere in an American election.
👎👹
This is going to piss of Biden! He wins the us presidential challenger race and The Ukranians find out that he got the investigation of his son axed and the prosecutor fired to boot - and Obama knew about it. AND THE DEMOCRATS WILL STILL SAY TRUMP IS A BAD GUY
And releasing transcripts....do you guys have reporters over here or is it all just what you hear in Europe?
🤦♂️💤
Pelosi looks a lot like munch's 'the scream'. She's aged badly
Hate Trump
That was a dumb move and just more continued treasonous harassment of the president by a dysfunctional congress. Can we please get back to work on things like gaining control of our borders and USMCA?
I think you mean flailing back.
The dog ate it, I slept in, it’s ___ fault...
Definitely he doesn’t change. He’s not moral & has behaved like a mob boss for so many years, he will never change. He should not be re-elected. He’s incapable of change.
Esa mujer es cuota socialista,quieren acabar con la democracia .Lo que debe hacer, es invadir a Venezuela y sacar a Maduro
Way past time to hold this Liar accountable.
“Fighting back?” He’s no hero for lying about his own lies. Fix your headline.
How about reporting the news instead of your biased positions!
Two senile people with way too much power!!
sure
JackPosobiec I’ve read the transcript 5 times already and I feel just really sorry for the people who think this is going to hurt Trump You got played
Is that called fighting back? I remember when it used to be called 'panicking'.
Does Trump qualifies? Impeachment Requisites: “grounds for impeachment: exceeding or abusing the powers of office, behavior incompatible with the function of purpose of the office, and misusing the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain“
Yes. Keep talking. PLEASE KEEP TALKING!!!
Some more Left Wing BS by The Economist...that is supposed to be a business magazine not a political one
He will blame OBAMA
It’s a good thing is such an objective source on political matters. Otherwise it wouldn’t be worth reading. stayinyourlane
Too late!! Perhaps he shouldn’t have abused the office of the presidency.
What’s the difference between a theoretical and an actual possibility?
Yeah, the 'only remedy left' to the poor Democrats is to stage a coup without Trump's cooperation.
lol, desperation at it's best
Republicans hate America. They piss on the constitution daily. Trump maybe a traitor president, but he’s their traitor president. As long as they think he can win votes, only votes matter, they’ll stick with him.
He had it coming by all means , has no respect to anyone or any law . He thought for the longest time , that he was above the law and everyone, does that sound familiar?
Truth is HARD, these Republicans have little spine, Just keep hammering. It takes a little while, that's all.
Some add free Botox to the government health plan. Ugh 😑
The next US election will be faster to get Trump out!
Daaaaaa!
The republicans have sat by and have done nothing while Trump has obstructed justice and lied constantly along with making millions for his companies swindling the tax payer. So why should they do something now? Their just as corrupt as Trump.
On board with what? This is even more baseless than the Clinton fiasco. Deranged Madness that is damaging to the nation. Thank s is utter political insanity.
oh. well.
It means nothing. It is not a “Formal Inquiry”.
Nancy Pelossi look like Michael Jackson
Maybe not.
Give up your salaries if you are going to squabble between yourselves. I cannot tolerate the grandstanding on my dime. Do the job you were hired to do ...pass bills. No such thing as an “impeachment inquiry”. Vote to I peach or stop talking.
And fourghen leaders no longer trust or want to deal with Trump, during the impeachment process. He's like a lame duck in office.
Not gunna happen. It will never get past the Senate. Waste of time and taxpayer money. Last time they tried this, Russia hoax, it cost us over $25 million. So dumb.
AND Re-election of realDonaldTrump now a certainty.
Theoretical as opposed to actual possibility. Stunning analysis.
2020 update. Trump wins by a landslide. Republicans take over House/Senate seats. Half the democrats changed their party affiliation...
if impeachment never happens, i dont think Pelosi is dumb to push democrats opportunity out of 2020 election. there's something they have planned or else they wont take this huge risk
Dems look so desperate...
In reality, little has changed. The committee investigations are continuing and while they will report tonthe judiciary committee, no formal proceedings have been started. The Democrats don’t want to vote on impeachment yet.
Impeaching Trump will never happen. There I fixed it for you, Economist.
Is this the only way for democrats to beat realDonaldTrump? Steal the presidency?
Certainly the corruption of Biden's son and what he did to protect him will be exposed.
he looks like an owl
Impicciatevi dei vostri guai e di quelli prodotti dall'abbronzato Obama e non rompete più. Imparate a riconoscere chi vi è superiore!
It has been a visible disturbing trend across countries how Leaders of opposition to governments spend major share of their time in fighting to pull down/remove governments, rather than putting their brains in to productive criticism. Politics Democracy Leadership World UN
America needs a new party. Both parties are yanking your chain.
Pelosi and the Democrats are total jokes, American people don't want the Democrats con artist party running this country, especially if there going to be the real party of crime, act on lies, instead of facts. Democrats refuse to investigate Democrats. Who wants them in office.
A predictable failure at the ballot by Democrats in the upcoming elections has given birth to predictable failure in impeachment of POTUS.....
Dems must be betting on Modis leg.😜😜
Too bad, they fall into the trap
Nothing’s going to happen...
Pelosi=DRAGON!!!
Has begun? He fought back before we even knew what this was actually about.
Another waste of American tax payer funds by Democrats coming up. Dems are imploding.
Why do we never see a picture of this woman with her mouth shut?
Noooo, Dem. and Rep. should not fight, CCP is the real enemy to US and the world! Chinazi BoycottChina
Economist your are complicit. The headline is ''Democracy is Fighting Back'. This isn't some game of politics. It's a fight for civilisation on so many fronts. Rule of law, fight against corruption, climate protection depends on it. Cut out the propoganda. Do your GotDamn job.
“... So then I said ‘I’m releasing the transcripts!’ ...”
How about stripping NSA leaders of their positions if they've been spying on UScitizens? Nah, lets focus on some clownish orange man whose aversion to hawkish foreign policy is a more humane approach than that of his predecessors...
'begun' well, we aren't including the obstruction apparently. at any rate, let him. i like it when they struggle.
