What Pelosi is REALLY saying (re: Mueller, Barr, RW spin, and impeachment)

[hlthe2b]

Among the comments: "Pelosi to reporters: “Impeachment is not on the table until it is on the table. So its not a question of that – this is not about that – this is about us doing our work. Today we’re introducing our healthcare bill, tomorrow we’ll be doing climate. ..We’re on our agenda.“

“Some people are viewing it as a glass half full, glass half empty. I think half full. There’s so many indictments that came out of what he did. People will go to jail from what his investigation is about.”

She also said: “Be calm. Take a deep breath. Don’t become like them. We have to handle this professionally, officially, patriotically, strategically.”

Stop with the fear. Focus on getting that report and the truth.

[spanone]

5. so why did cnn have a chryon earlier that said...Pelosi says 'dems should move on'????

[pazzyanne]

12. I think we can figure out why that was done.

[aikoaiko]

6. I'm glad she dropped the "he's not worth it" rhetoric from her message

7. k and r

8. Read her words carefully....one word is important: "strategically"

“We have to handle this professionally, officially, patriotically, strategically.”

9. I'm kinda tired of remaining calm. I really do wish

some organization or leader would organize a Release the Full Report protest march in DC to demonstrate the breadth and strength of public support for doing so. Let our people in Congress remain calm.

[Traildogbob]

23. Calm!!!!

Kinda lost my calm when tweety Mathews on Morning Joe Monday morning said "this whole thing is good for America. Now we can focus on health care for all". Yep, GOP began this AM with threat to destroy all, that's right ALL, of the ACA. Move on right? MurKKKa gettin better now, lock HER up.

[BigmanPigman]

24. Marches are planned and I posted the info this weekend.

Look under Activist Headquarters Forum. MoveOn.org is planning nationwide protests if they do not release the report to Congress or the public. Here is a link to sign up....

*If Trump crosses one of the following “red lines,” we will take to the streets again:

"...if The Mueller investigation releases findings showing significant wrongdoing by Donald Trump....OR
Congress or the administration blocks the public from seeing Mueller's findings".

RESIST!

30. Terrific! Thanks!

10. Well, in a way, we need to become like them, as, play dirty, raise all kinds of hell & never take

the high road. Fight fire with fire. If we continue to be the party that is easily rolled over we will definitely see 4 more years of tRump, ACA gone, SS gone, Medicaid gone, ect....

26. save democracy by going full fascist? won't work.

11. Barr's actual job is to be the top lawyer for all of us.

I get what Nancy Pelosi is saying and appreciate the strategy she is choosing. And since the tweets above are mostly paraphrasings by Manu Raju, we may not have heard exactly what she said.

However, Barr's JOB is to be the Executive Branch's top Justice official for all the United States. Of course, Barr was hired by Trump to be a lackey, a sycophant, and to cover-up corruption and crimes. But that's still NOT his "job."

k&r,

14. But he's not. Think about the seriousness of his memo last year & his hackery history

[delisen]

27. Barr is to Trump as Trump is to Putin

15. Master Strategist.

I'm so glad she's Speaker right now.

[Hekate]

16. Mme Speaker still has my utmost respect

[DallasNE]

17. Love how She Wrapped It Up

Also loved how Eric Holder challenged Barr's standing to pass judgement on obstruction, saying that decision is granted to the House for them to make the call. And if they make the call they require the full unedited report. Indeed, this is exactly how it was handled with Nixon and Clinton.

[PatSeg]

18. Happy Birthday Speaker Pelosi!!!

[handmade34]

19. hmmmm

She said Barr’s job is to defend the president... corrected to read "Barr thinks his job is to defend the President"

[hlthe2b]

20. No. That is Manu Raju (CNN reporter's) paraphrase.

If you look at that tweet (as opposed to some of the others), that phrase was not in quoted.

[handmade34]

21. either way

it should be corrected... Pelosi should not be misquoted

[hlthe2b]

22. agree...

[djacq]

25. I still sense cunning in Speaker Pelosi.

28. That is much better then ,"he is not worth impeaching".

[Perrenial Voter]

29. In the past, she has said that it would have to be initiated

by Republicans and be a bi-partisan effort. I don't think there is much chance of that happening unless/until it looks like they will lose Congressional seats because of him. Then, maybe...
