White House Aides Say Nancy Pelosi Is Emboldening Them To Defy Congress

White House aides are not worried about potential impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump because they view House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has advocated for an incremental approach, as emboldening them to defy Congress, The Washington Post reported Sunday.

The report cited two unnamed White House officials who claimed they were “not worried about defying or mocking [House Judiciary Chairman Jerry] Nadler because Pelosi has made it clear she is not interested in impeachment and the House Democratic Caucus is split about what to do to counter Trump.”

So now they're not only breaking the law and abusing the Constitution, they're mocking Democrats as well.

Come on, Nancy!!

I have said several times that the lack of consequences embolden these criminals. It's a tricky political tightrope indeed

6. Republicans see Democrats bashing Pelosi, so they're throwing fuel on the fire.

Looks like nothing more than an attempt to make more Democrats attack their own party. I hope none of us fall for it.

I say this because I don't believe Trump or the GOP are afraid of impeachment. Impeached or not, either way they're going to spin propaganda to their advantage, & either way, it's not going to affect what they do.

8. So we would all like to see Dump impeached

but even if Pelosi was gung-ho about it what happens if the votes aren't there even to impeach within the Dems in the House?

Imagine what a disaster it would be if impeachment didn't even pass the House and failed?

9. Wow! Two unnamed white house aides trying to stir division.

Not too transparent. It ahould be obvious that dissension is their goal with regard to Speaker Pelosi. They want to stop the methodical investigtions that are building the case against both trump and the republican congress.so they are air tight and will necessarily stand up in court because she knows there will be litigation involved. Very transparent.

I'll just tell the cop that Nancy Pelosi emboldened me to break the law, so the cop should cite her, instead of me. We'll see how that works out. Wow. Fucking wow.

So, they openly admit that they plan to continue shitting on this country's laws and Constitution? And, then blame their own corrupt behavior and law-breaking on Nancy Pelosi for not stopping them from doing what they know is wrong and illegal, and so should everyone else? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.
