Nancy Pelosi Blasts 'Highly Unethical' Trump, Won't Rule Out Impeachment

[FM123]

(HuffPost) The House Speaker wrote about the aftermath of the Mueller report in a letter to her colleagues.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a letter sent to Democrats on Monday acknowledged efforts to seek impeachment against President Donald Trump following Robert Mueller’s report but stressed that “finding the truth” should take precedent.

“While our views range from proceeding to investigate the finding of the Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment, we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a path of finding the truth,” she stated. “We must show the American people we are proceeding free from passion or prejudice, strictly on the presentation of fact.”

2. "free from passion or prejudice"??? FFS! The fucker has and is committing CRIMES! He has

demonstrated that he is not fit to hold that office!

Why don't you actually DO SOMETHING!?

[progressoid]

9. That a winner of a campaign slogan too - "Vote for me, I'm free from passion or prejudice!"

That should really rally the voters!

[artislife]

[Kurt V.]

4. Pelosi, Cummings, et al, know how to build cases.

Look at their experience; legislative, civil rights, etc.

Some here have been prematurely chomping at the bit for a long time.

[elleng]

6. Right.

Thanks, empedocles.

[Kurt V.]

18. he has violated Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States freaking Constitution,

regarding emoluments since day one in office. many of his staff lied on their clearance forms early in the administration. theres plenty more, so i disagree that its premature. it should have started as soon as pelosi regained the gavel.

[RobertDevereaux]

19. Correct. I have been so chomping since he lied his way through the...

...oath of office.

Which is why I wrote the novel God and Santa Claus Trump Trump.

5. Time to call what Trump did what it is: CRIMINAL.

Trump welcomed a Russian attack on our country in order to gain office, then obstructed our Justice Department, sacking an AG and an FBI Director in order to stop the investigation into that attack. This is horrifically worse than Watergate.

What Trump did is waaaay beyond mere unethical behavior.

[elleng]

7. Yes, and mcconnell REFUSED to enable Prez Obama to recognize it.

[SunSeeker]

8. Yep. We need to expose that via impeachment investigation hearings. nt

[Ligyron]

12. Obama was the @#%$ President!

I love Obama but he should have steamrolled right over Mitch and aw, too bad if he didn't like it. There was clear evidence that a foreign power was attacking us as sure as if actual weapons had been used. McTurtle's threats to scream "Partisanship" should have been laughed at since he did that damn near every day anyway. But, 20/20 in hindsight and all that I guess.

[elleng]

13. I tend to agree, tho I admit I don't know all the issues that might have raised.

[bsiebs]

23. You're correct with the 20/20 hindsight

At the time Obama was addressing this with McConnell.. most of us still thought Hillary had a clean shot into the whitehouse.. sure wish he had pushed it too...

[CanonRay]

10. At least it's no longer "off the table"

C'mon Nancy, take another baby step.

[artislife]

17. This movement

like prairie glacier though and not Antarctica glacier movement.

11. A counterintelligence expert's opinion...

[Duppers]

20. Hell yes!

[orangecrush]

25. ...

[Progressive dog]

21. It is meant to be hard to remove a President from office

It has never been done in our history and only two Presidents have been impeached. Neither was convicted. Nancy Pelosi is acting like the grown up legislator and patriotic American that we should expect our elected representatives to be.

[snort]

22. This is why she is Speaker of the House

and we aren't.

[world wide wally]

24. I'm glad I'm not a politician...

I don't think I could refrain from saying "just hang the motherfucker"
