House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she will send articles of impeachment to the Senate "when I'm ready."Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., meets with reporters following escalation of tensions this week between the U.S. and Iran, Thursday, Jan. 9, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington.WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
"I'll send them over when I'm ready," Pelosi told reporters Thursday, revealing no signs that she planned to end her weeks-long effort to negotiate with the Republican-controlled chamber over the rules of Trump's impeachment trial. Pelosi faces mounting pressure not only from Republicans, but increasingly from her fellow Democrats, to deliver the articles, which would then permit the Senate to begin preparations for a trial.
The two articles of impeachment against the president stem from a monthslong campaign Trump orchestrated to pressure Ukraine into launching investigations into Trump's domestic political opponents. The pressure tactics allegedly included withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine. Trump was impeached on charges that he abused the power of the presidency, and obstructed Congress by prohibiting top administration officials from testifying about the Ukraine scheme.
Pelosi's decision to delay sending the articles was part of a strategy aimed at forcing concessions out of McConnell, chief among them, the ability to call witnesses.would move forward on Trump's impeachment trial without any Democratic supportIt's considered highly unlikely that two-thirds of the Senate will vote to convict and remove Trump from office. No Senate Republicans have said they support impeaching Trump.
She doesn't want to impeach the president and lose all of her leverage.
It’s all about lil nancy and her make believe job
Patience is a virtue.
Horrible! Never Democrat vote
After her next botox injection..
Presidential Harassment!
Possibly when she puts her teeth back in her mouth?
Lazy, incompetent.... I could go on but no one cares about this, just Democrat’s acting’s like a$$’s. Sad show for the losing side.
Please send soon. Every day you delay makes it more and more certain that we will have to put up with Trump for another term due to Democrat incompetence. Having made impeachment a party political act trying to undermine democracy, please end this.
Embarrassing!
Sad that she is that inhuman that she now wants to take the USA down , really time for retirement ,she has fleeced us long enough . Go back to SF and your wall and moat !
Screw the old crow.
YES!!!
So it's going to be a failure for the corrupt Dnc.
When people say I am not a realDonaldTrump fan & in the next phrase say he has committed no crimes, it amuses me. You cannot find a more confused set of people. I choose to ignore such stupidity.
I will.... When I.... The Founders never imagined this big of an ego!
Evert day, more incriminating details appear, more people of higher influence comment, and more people turn to the light. The base will turn.
so basically never.
Hhhhmm... Didn't Ms.Pelosi recently say 'No one is above the law...' -Just Saying
How about sending them over when We The People are ready! Now!
October 15th, 2020. 😄
Trying to come up with more fake witnesses
ThirdInLine WakeUpAmerica OneForTheRoad
She truly believes she is in charge of the country...
Well done, Nancy. Hold it. Nothing to lose. Keep Trump on his toes.
Yep, no one cares
O-“when she is ready!” What happened to her demands? Didn’t she want to run the senate too?
Trust Nancy
She has nothing on her. Empty words. Lose Pelosi and deal with it!
She can hold them forever, no one csres.
What's wrong with today?
URGENCY? Now even Democrat Senators, one of her Committee Chairs, and her own caucus members are telling her to quit playing games. It's over. Pelosi lost. Move on.
Queen is ready when she expressed major urgency to pass Impeachment Can the public handle that much double talk = TRASH
You think if you had some real hard cold evidence you wouldn’t be taking your time..🤔
you take your time nancy
But I thought there were concerns about our democracy. Clear and present danger? Either you lied to our faces or you are putting our democracy at risk. Either way you played this poorly.
Lame super super lame
Saving them for when Trump wins in 2020
She’s the definition of dingbat.
With each passing day, people care less and less.
No. She had to send all 2 months ago. This woman is boring.
I thought it was a National Emergency!!! Just called your bluff Nancy Pancy...
Go Nancy! Show that traitor senatemajldr and that asskisser LindseyGrahamSC what it means to protect and defend the constitution and people of the United States.
In other words, the urgency was a “manufactured crisis”.
I’m not a trump fan but this impeachment circus is just that, a show. Do or don’t. Stop wasting our money you old bat! SpeakerPelosi
Who does she think she is ? Skeletor? 👀
