Speaker Pelosi:

“Just as I have said to the president: With him, all roads lead to Putin,”

I don’t know what the Russians have on the president, politically, personally, or financially.”

Let’s just say that Putin has “something” that Trump is willing to allow US soldiers to be killed and cover up for Putin!

Addendum:

BTW…Speaker Pelosi should also look into #TrumpChinagate

Every single day this man/child gives me a reason or ten to detest him more. Carrying hate around in your heart is supposed to be bad for you but come on. My dislike for T-rump is the thing that gets me through the day on occasion. That and the picture of him being marched out of the White house in Jan.

Hey, Trey, can you spell Benghazi? Looks like you’re going to have to suit up again. Or you can ignore the likelihood that our troops have targets in their backs do to Dipshit’s love affair with Vladdy. What would Hillary have done here? What will it take for Republicans to finally serve the Country and act?

He should probably make a run for it while he still has a chance. I’m willing to bet there’s better than a 50/50 chance the Secret Service takes him into custody as soon as Biden’s sworn in.

Pelosi may have previously expressed disinterest in another impeachment but she absolutely must push hard on this, wherever it leads, all the way through; not just until November but until Benedict Donald is escorted out of the White House in January (preferably directly to the prisoners dock).

Pelosi is my hero for this. It is clear that she sees that every denial of this kind of thing that Trump is forced to make has the twin benefit of drawing attention back to his corruption (and away from all the distractions he’s trying to throw up), and spends yet more of his dwindling credibility — makes him look weak.

Keep it up, madam Speaker.

Trump was briefed on this. And his main reaction was probably anger at not being offered the bounty directly.

Would it be Pence,? The party will have its own civil war if they have to pick someone else.
