By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 8 at 10:19 AM House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that President Trump is “becoming self-impeachable,” pointing to his efforts to fight all subpoenas from congressional investigations and prevent key aides from testifying before Congress.
.@SpeakerPelosi on President Trump: “Every day the President is making a case. He’s becoming self-impeachable.” https://t.co/hAuZk6usS4 #PostLive pic.twitter.com/1IlzhydIHs On Tuesday, she made a similar argument about Trump’s actions, comparing him to President Richard M. Nixon. She noted that one of the articles of impeachment against Nixon was that he ignored congressional subpoenas.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks during an interview with Robert Costa at The Washington Post on May 8. Democrats have repeatedly decried Trump’s resistance as stonewalling, maintaining that the president is thwarting Congress’s ability to conduct oversight.
What the fuck does that mean!!! WHAT THE FUUUUCK!!!
DictatorDon ImpeachTrump
A crazy woman as the leader of the dems. Sad.
As self-cleaning as a self-cleaning oven.
She’s saying: don’t play his way. Be patient (he has none). Enough rope to ... But seriously time is not on our time. But she’s right.
Mikhail Gorbachev destroyed the Soviet Union. Donald Trump is going to destroy American democracy and its constitution. Know I m really worried. What aren’t they telling us. No one is obeying the rule of law.
No collusion. Get it please!!!!

In the beginning of our present fiasco, I thought, “let’s don’t go through impeachment like we did with Bill.” I have changed my mind. We need to do it because the President has such an outsized ego that he couldn’t stand it and it might be implosion time. Just saying.
Wtf does that even mean
All she needs is a good long roll in the hay. Any volunteers....
So do something! Action! Don't stay passive move your but.
In. Plain. Sight.
Pelosi is having mental breakdowns daily after speaking to the Washington Post. Anonymous sources are telling the real media!
Nancy has lost her mind🥺
She is insane it will soon come out what she knew about paying for the dossier
Stop talking and do it
Your ready for H!
Pelosi’s capitulation to autocracy is becoming self-satirizing.
So DO IT!!!
Shes definitely a nut ball
Fahrenthold “Self-impeachable”
Witch.
IMPEACH him what are. Waiting for?
🤣😂🤣😂
Haha, so do it.
fakenews
The senate will never ever vote to remove Trump from office
no but you are
lavndrblue No sure what that means but ok, let’s do it!
And he is forcing you to speak in tongues. Self-impeachable? as in Suicide-impeachable? Fall-on-his-sword-impeachable?...
Nancy your screeching and Chicken Pecking are giving me a Migraine.
Just like she is becoming self delusional
🤣🤣🤣 and to think, I used to count myself as left leaning. I'm glad I woke up before it was too late.
What the hell does that mean? Is that like Romney’s self-deportation? Do your job! ImpeachmentHearingsNOW SpeakerPelosi
This is what they are so panicked over!
DarrellSr9 So truehd will make your case for you
costareports If only this was possible. Sadly, Trump doesn’t have either the integrity or intelligence to resign. He will go out ‘kicking and screaming’ like the bitch he is, either at his impeachment or his landslide election loss. 😳🙀🤯⛓🚓🐷👎🇺🇸👍
Nancy must secretly love Trump cause she can’t stop thinking or talking about him! SpeakerPelosi
You pathetic, lying, power hungry (wanna-be) LEADER. The only reason this ' newest Inquisition' is being held, was because Mueller's Report didn't support their lies! Now, they are desperate to find something, before their Own abuses are unveiled!
I am so disappointed in you, Madame Speaker. SpeakerPelosi
'Becoming impeachable' as in he's not yet impeachable? I'm beginning to wonder if she's in bed with him.
WAPO aren’t you being sued
Lol I think she means he’ll incriminate himself even more, till he self destructs.
Pelosi is a liar people in her party make conservatives look like saints
But he CAN'T REMOVE HIMSELF !
Sigh no. I don’t think self impeachment is a thing. Especially with trump
Impeach him already!!!
whypad If only he could self-destruct himself😕
costareports Huh
PASS THAT BUCK! PASS THAT BUCK!
Haha 🤣 haha 😂
wE aRe ThE rEsIsTaNcE FBR Resist VoteBlueNoMatterWho
What, the poll numbers are changing?
Sounds like SpeakerPelosi doesn’t want to take responsibility for doing her constitutionally mandated duty
Sorry Nancy but you’re gonna have to do this one yourself
Fahrenthold What does “becoming self-impeachable” even mean? The continuous use of ineffectual, fuzzy, and lame sounding words is a reflection of the lack of purposeful action on the part of Democrats. Your roof is on fire but you insist on tending the yard!
Pelosi has lost the 'fight' within her liberal party. So, she has a new 'talking point' to save face, and go after Trump. Pathetic lady.
SpeakerPelosi, you are being the substitute teacher everyone walks over because you wait too long to enact a consequence. Too many second chances, Nancy.
She will be held responsible by her party when SpyGate blows up and Obama and Clinton folks start getting indicted. She KNOWS where the real crimes area and it is FREAKING HER OUT. Justice is Coming, Nancy. YOU LOSE.
Yes, Trump craves the fight. REPUBLICANS in the corrupt Senate will never vote to remove Trump, so they just laugh at Congress.. But, Trump has committed TREASON. NOT SO FUNNY NOW..
Well why didn't you say so! Just wait until he spontaneously auto-impeaches
We sure do get a lot of talk out of Nancy.
You got him by the tail!
Hope you mean that Ms. Pelosi
Becoming
Dems want to help him out as much as possible.
She is not well.
That’s not a thing.
He’s going to be taken down by his own words.
We all know DONNY is trying his hardest to get impeached because he can use it as a club in the campaign BiggestLoser BillionDollarLoserDonald
I like it! Speaker Pelosi has every reason & self interest motive to be an instant hero by impeachment proceedings. What is her motive for waiting? She wants the country to win. She is willing to take the heat to save us. Country over poll s I support her strategy 100%
No Nancy you have to do that.
As SpeakerPelosi becomes “self-commitable.l
Another bunch that will not listen to the whole interview but lash out against her instead of Republicans! Political idiots
Fahrenthold Please stop posting articles that cost people money to read. You should have a Warning Label before they open it. Thank you , and I'm not saying you aren't 'Worth It;' you are.♥
Lolololololol.... whatever that means.
Fahrenthold ITMFA
She Has sinple outgrown same reasoning
costareports Wtf does this even mean?
I agree, Trump will self destruct. He shouldn’t be impeach cause he’s doing it already himself.
SpeakerPelosi THEN IMPEACH HIM! He’s playing you for a fool!
Nutty Nancy Pelosi says a lot of things most of it doesn’t make any sense but she babbles on .
I'm so disgusted and fed up with snarky Trump and his mobster-like ways. How much longer does the GOP think the American people are going to put up with this craziness!
Pelosi is awful for America
HAHA Her teeth don't even like her. They keep trying to escape her mouth.
She’s drunk
Trump self impeaching is like Romney's self-deporting. A mountain of myth.
These words mean nothing unless they act!
costareports That’s just not good enough.
costareports 'Becoming' WTH has she been?
LMAO
costareports Lock POTUS up!
He was impeachable at inauguration.
She’s right.
That might be true but are you really gonna hold your breath for him to say 'ok I quit'? Why is everybody so scared😑😑😑
So start the proceedings already. 8645. We all know tha when he looses in 2020 he will NOT go quietly. Get rid of him now. Pence is a puppet and harmless
Ok. Does Trump have something on her? She’s got to act!
Wouldn’t you sort of expect people who write law to understand it, at some level?
Ah shit here we go again.
realDonaldTrump is completely unqualified to be president. The Constitution allows removal for incompetence.
She’s a bozo.
Omg. Just stop! Impeach the bastard or quit talking about it! Damn it!
The Dems will bury themselves in 2020 if they decide to impeach trump and he is not removed from office
She’s not wrong
Fahrenthold She has no intentions of impeaching him. And what the fuck does self-impeachable even mean? He can’t literally impeach himself she has to fucking do it.
Do it
Um, SpeakerPelosi trump will not impeach himself. YOU DO IT.
GOPChairwoman Want to know why Democrats are attacking AG Barr? Because after they spent 2 years lying about Russia collusion, Barr is investigating the real scandals: *how a Dem-funded dossier started this hoax *leaks from Comey’s FBI *spying on realDonaldTrump’s campaign
Say you Pelosi now it’s time for you to come to the table and force your power at hand. Impeachment proceedings need to be in process yesterday America is asking for it
Fahrenthold If Dems impeach, the senate will soon after find him not guilty - no matter the evidence. They'll justify their decision by saying that Dems will do/say/try anything to remove Trump - portraying him the victim. As long as GOP have Trump's back, it's a losing proposition.
Fahrenthold He’s going to impeach himself? What?
Get out of the kiddie pool and do some work.
The Democratic Party
Fahrenthold Pelosi, the scrivener, 'would prefer not to.' The Democratic Party parodies its conception of politics as inaction.
Pelosi thinks Trump is trying to goad us into impeachment. Why? Because Trump is sure it will backfire on Democrats and ensure his win in 2020. I think impeachment hearings will reveal to more Americans what a crook and fraud his is, and then ensure he loses in 2020. Impeach
Fahrenthold We know, she knows, hell the whole world knows his A is mentally unstable. Nancy you will have to do it. He is crying 😭😭 out for help, help him self impeach, show him the light, show him the bright red light, bright. Go down to the light Donald, go, go now, Rep. will follow you
SpeakerPelosi do not delay any further. Time is of the essence. Do what we put you in there to do.
i respect her but girl is getting on my nerves these days.
Because she's too spineless to enforce the law, she hopes he'll do it himself?
what a total fabrication .......this woman and the people in the Washington post need a taste of there of medicine ...cant be that hard to get some info on them ....and return fire.....
.SpeakerPelosi There is exactly one governing body responsible for initiating impeachment proceedings.
This thread, while hilarious as all the cool kids are on it, needs a good (no) impeachment-reasoning spanking from TheRickWilson. Boy Wilson goes right for a finest leathers from the N. of Spain buggy whip every time. Ouch!
No SpeakerPelosi. We have to do it. It won't happen by itself. Do you think we're stupid? Just do it.
ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
More broad statements with NO specifics. Sounds like the 'Russian collusion' lies they told us for 2 years.
That is not how this works FFS!
Pelosi is behind on her botox treatments.
ImpeachmentHearingsNow
Pelosi should self abort herself !!
I vaguely remember a day when the Post employed journalists that used their skill and critical thinking to inform and educate us. Alas, no more.
MotherMary08 If the only way to hold Donald Trump accountable is to impeach him. Nancy Pelosi needs to impeach him. If she doesn't it is going to give a green light to the next president who wants to behave in this manner.
WTF does that even mean? Like he'll see himself out and absolve you of the need to actually take BOLD ACTION, SpeakerPelosi?
Fahrenthold Aside from his business acumen - which has now been disseminated, debunked and disproven - Trump won by portraying himself as THE victim. He's now trying to get himself impeached (he knows the GOP has his back) so he can continue playing the role which he knows so well.
Marshals vs. Secret Service. Who wins?
believe it or not this actually now makes perfect nonsense
Fahrenthold 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️💆🏾♀️ We’ve been past that before he even ran! C’mon MadameChair, & bust out those ArticlesOfImpeachment so we may move on. With all due respect, ewarren’s on it. Our times have been thoroughly wasted enough. These plotsandtwists are overfed, like Trump. Be brave for us.
There is no such thing as 'self-impeachment.' I'm tired of this cowardice and passing of the buck. Congress must impeach him as the Constitution demands.
Sit tight folks! Impeachment is a process. Embrace the process!!!
Hurt feelings and long term grieving over losing an election is not considered an impeachable crime . I think the Feminist men and women of the Democrat Party is letting their emotional hatred drive them to the brink.
Fahrenthold So help him in his quest
Trump has created a new kind of Democratic 'stupidity '. It is airborne, very contagious, particularly effective to women.
Fahrenthold Who’s goading who? Keep it up Trump, keep obstructing .. Nancy is no fool!
Pelosi isn't pushing for impeachment. She is giving Donald enough rope to let him hang himself.
It’s pointless to impeach without the certainty of a conviction. Trump will eventually tip the balance and the republicans will convict.
If only SOMEONE could do something about this (yes Nancy you) SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi
Trumps only impeachable offense was calling the Clintons 'good people' He became my mortal enemy with those words.
He'll impeach himself at the end of 2024
Then LET’S GET STARTED!!
NOT. A. THING. ImpeachmentHearingsNow
IMPEACH HIM! Clinton was impeached over A BLOW JOB!! Trump is blatantly abusing his power!!
'is becoming'
Give Trump enough rope...
Is this like MittRomney ‘s “self deportation” plan?
And yet you wait. Get this lying coward, Trump, out of the white house!
I read all the relevant documentation, and could not find any reference to a self-impeachment process. Can you elaborate on that?
Probably the only way it’s going to happen...
Lol...and we should all listen to this drunk, right ONLY IF YOU ARE DESPERATE!!
Respectfully, SpeakerPelosi, it’s time to call his bluff.
TananariveDue Almost makes you wonder why nobody has impeached themselves before.
Then WHAT are they waiting forImpeachmentNOW
Trump is doing more for the globalist agenda than HRC ever could have. They won’t impeach him and they will make sure Trump wins in 2020. It’s perfect. Trump advances globalism while making whites think he isn’t.
Nancy, you are not going to win over King Trump’s voters. If anyone is on the fence, leave them there and stand up for the Constitution. TeamPelosi
She needs to retire.
Go for it... let me know how that works out for you. SpeakerPelosi and TheDemocrats have NOTHING. Playing politics and spreading collusion LIES for two years. So deeply invested in fraud they’ve gone to war over it. They will not succeed. Unemployment down Trump apvl Up.
It's becoming clear that the impeachment long shot is the Dems only shot at 2020... Yet they are only shooting themselves in the foot!!!
Maybe he will self deport himself
You mean like leading an economic explosion by freeing the American People to innovate and produce? With this growth people of all status have seen more money in their pockets...to improve their lives.
How many different ways can Pelosi say that Trump absolutely deserves to be impeached but she's still not going to impeach him?
Like, 'It's on him, I can't help it'? Why is she squirming so hard?
She’s hitting the vodka and bathtub quaaludes again.
SpeakerPelosi please get it going
I think at this point it's a political tactic. He wants them to try and impeach him, he's almost begging them to do it.
Then do it
Pelosi is the only person holding up this process.
DO SOMETHING!!!!
Is that like 'e-verify?'
