House Speaker Pelosi to announce formal impeachment inquiry of Trump
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to announce a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump, a dramatic turnaround by the Democratic leader that sets up a constitutional and political clash pitting the Congress against the nation’s chief executive.
Pelosi (D-Calif.) is slated to make her announcement later on Tuesday after a closed-door meeting with her caucus, according to Democratic officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe private deliberations.
Impeachment is a rare and extraordinary step that would overturn the decision of U.S. voters in 2016 to elect Trump. Pelosi’s decision foreshadows an intensely partisan fall, triggering pushback from Trump allies with repercussions for the 2020 campaign.
Pelosi’s change of heart comes after days of consulting allies and follows reports that Trump may have pressured a foreign leader to investigate former vice president and potential 2020 campaign rival Joe Biden and his family.
Those reports over a week created a groundswell of support among Democrats for impeachment, with moderates from swing districts joining liberals in calling for an impeachment inquiry.
Pelosi said Tuesday that those allegations forced her to reconsider her position that impeachment is too divisive for the country.
“The president is making lawlessness a virtue in our country,” Pelosi said at a Tuesday afternoon event at the Atlantic. “We don’t ask foreign governments to help us in our elections. That’s what we tried to stop with Russia. It’s wrong.”
Pelosi later noted that she has long said that “as soon as we have the facts, we’re ready” for impeachment. “Now that we have the facts,” she said, “we’re ready,”
Trump, meanwhile, said that he has authorized the release of the full transcript of his phone call with the Ukrainian president in which Trump is said to have brought up investigating Biden and his son.
“I am currently at the United Nations representing our Country, but have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine,” Trump tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
“You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!”

Killitard the Notre Dame Subway Alum is just another Kneepadder willing to excuse the rampant graft, corruption and criminality in the White House so that icky liberals don't raise his taxes. He, like his fellow Trump Kneepaddres, is a traitor.

Odds are great for Ds that history will repeat.

It is way overdue.
The DIms should do the right thing, and if the GOP senate goes against impeachment, so be it.

On what charge, exactly?
Being an insufferable asshole?
Pussy grabbing?
Weapons grade stupid texts?
What we have now is Trump pointing out to the Ukrainians that maybe they ought to look into a mediocre cokehead American lawyer getting paid boatloads of cash by a company in a business he has zero experience in.
And what are your thoughts on sleepy joe’s videotape confession?
This is such an open and shut case, it should be laughable. Problem is, the MSM will do everything they can to sweep the Bidens’ criminality under the rug while inventing crimes for TGOF.

There is a litany of reasons for it.
Among them...
1. He obstructed justice multiple times.
2. M. Cohen sits in jail after being convicted in a case in which co-conspirator D. Drumpf is "individual 1." Don would be indicted already if he was not president.
3. His behavior and his daily actions show him to be completely unfit for office. 25th Amendment. He is a clear and present danger to the republic.

President Donald Trump reportedly reached out to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to negotiate about releasing a whistleblower complaint after she announced an impeachment inquiry into him on Tuesday.
Trump told the California Democrat he'd like to "figure this out," NBC News' Heidi Przybyla reported. "Hey, can we do something about this whistleblower complaint, can we work something out?"
Pelosi apparently swatted him down with a curt response: "Tell your people to obey the law."
Donald claims that he will release a transcript of a call with the Ukraine president today.
We can trust it 100%.

The transcript of the call reads like a classic mob shakedown:
– We do a lot for Ukraine
– There’s not much reciprocity
– I have a favor to ask
– Investigate my opponent
– My people will be in touch
Nice country you got there.
It would be a shame if something happened to her.

1. I don't think transcript is even an accurate word for what was released.
2. This White House can absolutely not be trusted to put out accurate info, especially since the president himself is the one in hot water.
3. What was released today, even if fully accurate, is one small piece of the big picture. It is basically a feeble, desperate attempt to get ahead of the shit storm.
4. This is a "transcript" of one call. There are supposedly eight incidents the whistleblower reported, right?

Because you are asking him to take a rigged bet and then trying to berate him for seeing right thru it.

Do you ride in on a 'lil pony every time Fredo tosses out some inane bullshit? We all know he doesn't have the mental aptitude to defend himself, so good on you, I guess.
Bet you or else I'm a pussy? Sure thing, tiny. Whatever you say.

Big swing and a miss, racist. Tried to get in, didn't. Have always liked their football team. Full stop.
Let's take a look at the definition of fraud:
a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
I've never deceived anyone. Never unjustifiably claimed accomplishments.
Jesus, you and tiny are perfect for one another. You're as shitty of a journalist as he is a lawyer.

Sadly, he isn't. He won't be removed from office and will be re-elected. The Dems have no viable candidates and the party is too divided, while Trump's base of idiots will prevail. The impeachment process will only help to mobilize his backers. You don't have to like it, and you don't even have to accept it...yet. But eventually, you will. Be prepared to keep mashing your forehead into the keyboard until 2025.

Ok. A grand they right up articles of impeachment.
As for the racist angle. That’s just you being a nazi and lying as much as you can. Unless Of course you would like to point out your evidence to me you downsy fuck.

Straight from the Adolf/Cohen/Trump playbook. Lie and lie and lie. Don’t point to any evidence just lie and scratch and piss and moan and deflect and smear then lie some more. You, like the three of them, are a total fraud.
