7. +1

3. Just pull the damn trigger already. Enough. Use the "I" word.

It's time to do the right thing. Stop the bullshit political calculus. Get all the evidence out there in the open so it can't be ignored without effort to ignore it. If Republicans still want to sweep it under the rug...get them on the fucking record about it.

[lunatica]

14. It seems to me that it is already on the record.

Every single official written word, including communications, letters and public statements are ‘on the record’ as soon as they are done. Ask any political historian.

[Mr. Evil]

19. Another damn letter stating the obvious.

And hoping the republicans will start to feel sad and find a conscience. What they'll actually do is wad it up, wipe their asses with it and flush it down the toilet. Then they'll continue laughing all the way to the bank.

Sorry for the cynicism but, until the Democrats in congress realize they're going to have to get dirty while cleaning up this mess it will only continue and it will get worse.

4. If people think it is time for impeachment then they should call their representatives

5. A Bing Crosby & Bob Hope movie just came to mind.

[bdamomma]

8. K&R

ok Speaker Pelosi said her part now it's our turn to say ours. Lock him Up!!!!

Great statement from Speaker Pelosi but about the election, the Cyber Security Department has been disbanded so how is that going to keep our elections safe from interference.

10. That's weak. Impeach!

[triron]

11. Agree 110%. I would have said it had you not.

[dalton99a]

20. She's waiting for Mueller to get down on his knees and beg

Impeach the motherfucker.

[SunSeeker]

12. She needs to announce formal impeachment investigation hearings.

Regular House oversight hearings like we are doing now don't have a right to get grand jury info. But formal impeachment investigation hearings are considered judiciary in nature, and so fall under the exception to the rule that bars release of grand jury info.

We really need that info. We simply cannot recreate the 2 years of work that went into getting that info, even if we had the time, which we don't.

13. As they investigate and the adminstration continues to refuse to cooperate, Trump owns the narrative

[Javaman]

15. okay then, Rep Pelosi, when do impeachment proceedings begin? nt

[barbtries]

16. impeachment is inevitable.

the sooner the better AFAIC

[triron]

17. I am losing hope with Pelosi.

[barbtries]

27. don't lose hope.

she's making the case.

how many ways can mcconnell drag his feet obstruct, refuse to call witnesses, etc? we should not underestimate how low he will go. By keeping the hearings in the House the people can hear the truth.

having said that i do believe that impeachment is inevitable, but as Pelosi says, the case has to be strong.

[Vidal]

18. Thank you!

[yaesu]

21. I trust her & believe she will do the right thing at the right time. nt

[SayItLoud]

22. Someone please explain the process once it goes to the Senate?

Is there a trial? We already know that regardless of the outcome the RePUBICs will not impeach or censor tRUMP....but what is the process? I believe that tRUMP will use the Senate as he's using Barr and DOJ to justify to his base & fringe cultists his innocence. Making it his "get out the vote" for tRUMP. We need America to see, since they will not read the Mueller report. (fyi; I have).

[KPN]

23. The way I read that is Nancy Pelosi just said we are

going to impeach the MF without saying we are going to IMTF.

Well done! It’s exactly what Mueller did (said he committed high crimes without saying he committed high crimes).

Very soon, the Rs in both the House and the Senate will themselves be clamoring for impeachment

That’s what I think. TRump and the Rs right now, are not going to get their wish for a Senate vote against impeachment. Instead, he will see a vote for impeachment by the Senate. His illegitimate Presidency will suddenly be over.

[matt819]

25. Maybe

A while back I was for impeachment.

Then I was against impeachment.

Now I'm for impeachment.

Nancy Pelosi is clearly at the top of her game, and I'm reasonably sure that she has a fairly well defined - for her and her close associates - a game plan. And if we had all the time in the world, I'd be happy to wait and see how it plays out, just for the opportunity to see the sheer brilliance of it. But we don't have all the time in the world. Mueller has said he has nothing more to say - read the report. I suppose in some sense we have been at a crossroads since the election. But it's getting worse and worse every day. Hearing after hearing, delay after delay is like death by a thousand cuts. But there's no death. Trump is still president, and people are still suffering. (Take a look at the NYT video piece today on what's going on at the border. It made me sick.) No one is being held in contempt of Congress. The Republicans are laughing. Whatever Pelosi's end game is, I would argue that it's time to put it into action.

[KPN]

28. It is time to put it into action. I believe she is doing that

and Mueller gave her the ammunition she needed to be able to apolitically do that today. I may be wrong but I feel this in my gut. And I have been for (and actually calling my delegation demanding) impeachment.

[Scurrilous]

24. K&R

[pdsimdars]

26. His point was that he has done all that he can go and it is time for congress to do their part.

Congress is the only body that has been given the TOOL to hold a President accountable. Don't side step your duty.
