Say it, Nancy. Say the word.
“Im-peach-ment.” Got that? Now try it again. “Immmm-PEACH-ment.” Got it?
Now start staying it. Say it again. Now saying LOUD AND CLEAR.
IMPEACHMENT.
Now … was that so hard?

Seriously, if you aren’t going to start the impeachment process, he doesn’t care.

Is all this idiotic show for the conservadems?

Trump was right. He could shoot someone on fifth avenue and the Dems still wouldn’t impeach him. Why must they always mark themselves out as cowards who fight for nothing?

Because fighting for something might scare away the corporate donors.

I actually think this sounded a little better. Guess for the time being she’s letting Schiff say The Word and she’s trying to back him up.
And, I always like to remember what Clinton was impeached for, what a trivial matter compared to our present WH occupant that couldn’t say anything truthful if his pathetic life depended on it.

At least inherent contempt with a fine.

Again, how will these conservative Democrats answer their constituents who are frustrated as hell? In the conservative Democrats’ district near here, there are plenty of non-conservatives. NOT impeaching will require a lot more explanation. I simply do not understand this. All I got left is timing; she wants to put it off.

“endangering our national security”

Yes, there is that.

she asked Republicans to join Democrats in demanding that the whistle-blower complaint be sent to Congress and that the as-yet-to-be-identified individual be allowed to speak with lawmakers. [NYT]

Ha! I also invite Cholera to contribute to sensible Public Health measures and keeping our most vulnerable populations safe.

We are LONG past time for a more forceful response to Trump’s conduct.

Just figure alluding to the changed ballgame will have to get tRump’s knickers in a twist. He’s managed to be pretty bullet proof but it may be slipping away.
And, maybe Pelosi and Schiff’s strategy is to try to get the whistleblower information and if that happens maybe he’s temporarily off the impeachment hook.

This time she is going to hold her breath AND stomp her feet until Trump finally gives in.

“At that time, we expect [Maguire] to obey the law and turn over the whistleblower’s full complaint to the Committee,”

And when he doesn’t, then what?

Bingo

Has someone mentioned her legacy to her? It will not be kind. I would think that sort of ego bruise might have an effect on a seasoned politician.
