"Our Founders, when they wrote the Constitution, they suspected that there could be a rogue president. I don't think they suspected that we can have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the Senate at the same time," she said in defense of the decision during her weekly press conference on Thursday.
On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader McConnell said,"Some House Democrats imply they are withholding the articles for some kind of leverage so they can dictate the Senate process to senators." However, he said,"I will support the president in the type of trial he wants and the types of witnesses he wants to bring.""If he really believes it's thin, it's thin because the president of the United States ordered his top people who were in the room, who have first hand knowledge not to testify," Jones responded on Sunday."He ordered that documents not be turned over.
That was the houses job, and they failed miserably
Rofl have you been snorting coke with Hunter Biden these past few months SenSchumer ?
Coulda woulda shoulda, it’s not up to you
Chuck, House has that job. Why didn’t they do it? It all comes back to petty partisan politics.
the senate will not subpoena documents and since they already had there hearings and voted on 2 articles that are not high crime or misdemeanor he won't get what he wants, Ukraine got there aid on time. No investigation was started on the Bidens, Schumer has no power in senate
Senator Schumer is admitting the House doesn’t have a legitimate case for impeachment, so he’s begging for an investigation do-over. It’s the same thing Demonrats have done for 3 years, starting with Russia. Harsh reality for Democrats: U.S. voters prefer President Trump.
🤔
Schumer Shut Up you Democrats Didn’t Let Republicans Say A Word...
1michael68 Why do you ignore the truth that's in your face. Joe and son. Kerry and son. Pelosi and son.
Poor chuckie 😭😭 🤣
No problem chucky , but agree to ANY witness.
Trouble is Whining Little Chucky isn’t in Charge he’s not the Majority leader so he needs to step back and Shut Up .
More smoking guns that turn out to be baseless and meaningless.
Get'em Barr!
Mr. Irrelevant.
....because of obstructionists like Graham & McConnell who refuse to allow witnesses. How can they be allowed to release a verdict before a trial? A judge would have been disbarred for this nonsense! GOP = GUILTY OF PERJURY!
One word for Speaker Pelosi 'Backlash'
No not at all. We need witnesses to testify. Period. What is moron Trump afraid of?
Ron Johnson is one bizarre sycophant.
So must be fine with Nancy Pelois and Social dems and Adam Schiff For the disavantance homeless to unrinate and poop on the street. Pluse ok for women to use selling their bodies to curb proverty. This what the news laws said. Great leader Nancy, Adama Schiff to let it happen.
Spin spin spin Cocksplateer
She's doing press control during Horowitz hearings for the DNC
He has no clue how the process works!
Democratic leaders have stopped playing into the hands of the Trumpers and are squirming, trying to get back on top. Not feeling in control scares them.That's why they complain, yell, and name-call.
We know its all bs. They know the Senate will expose wrongdoing and dont want any resolution, they just want the mpeach story out there to try and harm his 2020 chances. Its not working. I despise politicians more now than before. They just ensured his reelection.
Sen. Johnson should be ashamed to speak until he tell what he knew and when he knew it. Amb. Sondlang named Johnson as being in on it. He needs to recuse himself as part of the Hearings. He also should be called as a witness. He is deep in this. Why Barrasso was on AF1 w/Trump?
Pelosi only delaying because she knows House failed to prove crime and failed to sway opinion on impeachment! Just trying to delay to get more support cause they know it’s dead in the senate. And senate will not redo failed house investigation! senatemajldr hold the vote!
RonJohnsonWI WisKochsin. Can't get enough of that Russian mob money.
She’s getting exactly what she wants, Trump and his minions are losing it. He rage tweeting and sycophants like Ron Johnson are spewing it out on Sunday morning news shows. MoscowMitch is going to have to work hard to ensure he loses no votes on the rules or witnesses it will be
144000bound Bizarre is an understatement. Trump2020LandslideVictory
What IS “bizarre” SenRonJohnson, is the head juror, Moscow Mitch, stating that he’s not an impartial juror. You both swore to support and defend the Constitution, not Trump.* Donald John Trump* was impeached on December 18, 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Henson know when the eggs hutch and sit passionately on them. Then they all hutch in one day.
ABC sure gives the liars a lot of airtime.
Because the GOP won’t allow people to testify.
Bizarre is every single person that STILL supports the criminal in the White House.
We all heard repeatedly it would not be a fair trial.
Ruskie Ron
And why is this russian assett allowed to spread his nonsense unchecked on Why was he not asked about what he was cooking up in Russia?
On your knees, Ron.
JuliansRum Is it true what the Democrats are tweeting? That they are gathering more sound information before going in front of the Senate?
She's not healthy it's apparent. We have to deside if it would be prudent to allow her to remain at the head of congress with these obvious age related ailments taking place?
In quite positive she'll release those articles to Senate when it's a guarantee that the witnesses Trump stopped from testifying are put under oath. It was one of the reasons he was impeached. Not sure why folks are not understanding this.
His entire life he's been deeply involved in every manner of corruption and now you want us to believe he suddenly cares about corruption and it's consequences?
👎
So sweat it now!!🤬
Dems are a joke
That is the biggest point.told can’t wait for impeachment (RE courts and subpoenas c obstruction congress articles) but can hold up the process. And can you imagine if Senate put demands on the House during their process or otherwise would refuse to go forward.
This democrat operative and liberal hack (Raditz) disguised as a journalist. Must have really loved that one !
Enough said. GOPpartyoverconstitution
Maybe cause she can see people like Johnson who have abandoned their oaths and publicly tearing up the pages in the constitution dealing with the separation of powers and ready to keep kissing a crooks Ass to subvert justice?
Yep you go PELOSI!!!!! Sit on it until The Senate can conduct a fair trial with witnesses. The American people deserve that much! Democrats are the only party with ANY INTEGRITY!! I’m a registered Republican!! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!! The MOST CORRUPT SENATE EVER!!
Is it really strange P is holding it? All rep are partisan as hell. Your legitimize a corrupt P and back him no matter what!
JGRuggiero
Just admit it already, Pelosi was overdependent on the radical left for votes and was forced to give into their cries these past years. She bluffed her hand and it got called.
Dear SenRonJohnson: Sit on this. GOPTraitors GOPHypocrites GOPAnti-America
Yes because Lindsay Graham said he is not going to be a fair juror. How did 63 million people get so brainwashed that they can’t see through someone so unstable. So dangerous.
The good Senator is not paying attention - partisan lightweight that he is .
So... is he playing dumb or is he like REALLY dumb? Genuine question.
He went to meet with Putin on July 4. Russia also hacked the RNC server but what they have on the GOP has never been made public. This senator is probably Kompromised.
Stallers gonna stall
Liberals
Approve of the House impeaching Trump: 52-43. Would approve of Senate removing Trump: 51-42. Believe the Senate should call additional witnesses at a trial: 54-27.
Meanwhile: 'Is møst useful idiøt, nø☭' 🖕🏻🇷🇺
ICYMI:
Pelosi is in too deep. She bluffed on a bad hand and it got called.
JuliansRum
JuliansRum I must say, this whole thing is particularly entertaining for the casual observer whose emotions aren’t fixated on Trump being impeached.
GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Thin gruel? Obstruction of justice and abuse of power are not that. What are Republicans hiding and why?
.RonJohnsonWI Could it have anything to do with the fact that you and your GOP colleagues have made it abundantly clear that there won’t be a fair trial in the senate? Don’t worry, we Wisconsinites will give you a fair trial and kick you out of office soon enough.
Pelosi waits to see if Republicans are real humans, or robots!
You know what’s “bizarre”, RonJohnsonWI? Trump’s diatribe about windmills, bald eagles and the universe...your dear leader is loosing it
It's a runaway bluff. She went along with the others a little too far.
Johnson, what is gruel?
Keep whining, boys
RonJohnsonWI what's thin about the near half million held from the Ukraine. Part of a plan to help PUtin take more from them? Was that what that one hour private meeting with PUtin was all about? Trump won't say. He says it's none of our business their private 1 hour talk.
When will Americans learn? The two parties are on the same team? Yeah ok, so I’m a WASP, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t stand with the minorities and LGBTs. I would’ve for Tulsi, but y’all called her a Russian Asset and a coward. Don’t want Tulsi? Fine. Now you get us.
Enough of RonJohnsonWI! RemoveandIndictTrump
As she should and she has no deadline to move the articles to the senate the strategies are incubating, more evidence is popping up she is doing the best thing for our democracy, country and all the while up holding our constitution
Brilliant
Nancy Pelosi is a pos, , and you know it, ABC.
It's too slow, it's too fast, it's too private, it's too public. Innocent people don't behave like this.
Anyone else wondering if ABC will ever be a neutral news reporting source again?
She doesn’t want a trial in the Senate. All their bad dead’s will come to light
She's sitting on it bc she knows she don't have a legitimate case and once it goes to senate her frivolous bias case against the president will be voted out and thrown out.
Well, Pelosi certainly looks like she’s sitting on something...
