Schumer Defends Pelosi Article Delay | Talking Points Memo

Shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Tuesday morning that the House will vote on an impeachment managers resolution Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) defended her decision to hold back the impeachment articles for three weeks.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1284386

“The President is not afraid of a fight and if you or anyone within the sound of our voices had been falsely accused of a crime, with no proof, and no evidence, for more than three years, you’d want every witness to come forward too and say, ‘this man did nothing wrong,’”

This is most definitely getting walked back, muddied or otherwise half-ass retracted before dinner.

Gidley is right, that is precisely what every defendant would want. Bummer for Trump that it wouldn’t play out that way.

The witnesses are all secret Deep Staters who fooled #45* into believing they liked, that they really really liked him.

Whine about the headline “Schumer Defends Pelosi’s Decision To Keep Impeachment Articles Close To The Chest

Please don’t use a phrase unless you know what it means. Close to the Vest is keeping your playing cards from other people’s prying eyes. The Articles themselves are public. Her overall strategy might be something she’s keeping quiet.

The headline at the top of the comments is better by far “S Defends P Article Delay”.

End rant.

Neal Katyal and George Conway Op-Ed suggest sending one article of impeachment to the RepucliCON senate (Obstruction of Congress) and keep the Abuse of Power article in the Dem House to continue investigating more and repeated abuses of power!

I totally agree with them…there’s more abuses of power by the aspiring war criminal IMPotus that merits more investigation!

The articles are close to her chest because they are dear to her heart, which is in her chest.

Bein’ president is complicated. Who knew??
Kinda like health care and that pre-existing condition coverage thingy that will go away when they kill the ACA. Right Zippy?

Btw, good to see Zippy again…

cnn is saying Pelosi lost. We knew that going in because all the House and Senate GOP member (except Amash) are slaves to trump.
We knew trump will claim total innocence from creation jntil now and then will ask for Russian help in the open. And the Congress has ceded all power to trump.

Per Russian connections…
(Gollum voice)… “Of course he does”…
Followed by “nobody likes you”.

As long as it makes McConnell uncomfortable, that’s enough
