Daily Mail: Nancy Pelosi to announce she WILL impeach Donald Trump over the Ukraine call after Joe Biden accuses him of 'abuse of power' - as the president says he will publish transcript of the conversation
* Joe Biden says that if Donald Trump does not co-operate with Congress, it is time to impeach him
* He is making his move while growing numbers of Democratic House members publicly back impeachment - including 'House conscience' John Lewis
* Trump admitted he ordered his staff to freeze almost $400 million in military aid to Ukraine
* The directive came just days before his July phone call with Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky
* A whistle-blower alleges the conversation involved Trump pressuring Zelesnky to probe his political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden
* Trump has denied this, claiming he spoke about corruption and keeping foreign corruption, including from U.S. citizens, out of Ukraine
* He also asserts the aid freeze has nothing to do with a potential procurement of damaging information to Biden
* Hunter Biden has ties to a Ukrainian natural gas firm
* House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is preparing to address her caucus Tuesday afternoon
* She is to announce a formal impeachment inquiry
* House Intel chair Adam Schiff says a whistleblower wants to testify in Congress
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday it's 'really sad' that 'a president would perform an impeachable offense,' as former Vice President Joe Biden issued his own call for the president's impeachment if he doesn't comply with requests for information from Congress.
Pelosi scheduled a press appearance for 5 pm, directly after her caucus meets on impeachment amid an outcry from rank-and-file members as well as senior Democrats, as she prepared to announce a formal impeachment inquiry.

WNU Editor: So impeachment is now in play (and in my opinion a given). But this tells me the following. (1) Speaker Pelosi has lost control of her caucus, being forced to make this announcement to satisfy the overwhelming desire of her caucus to proceed with impeachment. (2) If the Democrats were confident of defeating President Trump in 2020, they would not be launching this impeachment inquiry. (3) Democrats are not concerned that American public opinion is overwhelmingly against impeachment .... Impeaching Trump On Russia Was Unpopular. Will Ukraine Be Different? (FiveThirtyEight). (4) This will be dominating the news headlines from now till election day. And here is my prediction. The Democrat majority in Congress will vote in favor of impeachment but it will be defeated in the Senate. When the voters go to the polls next year, I predict that the Democrats will lose control of the House, and seats in the US Senate.

What an embarrassment to be a Democrat this season. Holy sh$t they have sunk so low. Rock bottom. And at the forefront hysterical,hatespeech and class/gender warfare causing women. The result of overdoing feminism for 30 years and blaming everything on men. Give these women more and you'll get a society where people are shouted down just because they want substance rather than feelsfeels

Delete"The Democrat majority in Congress will vote in favor of impeachment but it will be defeated in the Senate."
ReplyDeleteIt would be defeated in the senate, but I doubt that it will even go to a floor vote in the house. That would require vulnerable dems from red states to vote against their own interests. Result will be lost seats or a lost vote on the floor which will show the split in the dem party...and lead to their loss in 20. They are screwed, providing Trump is clean. He probably is or they would have found a weakness and exploited it already.
Fred is operating somewhere between 60 and 90 IQ.
