Nancy Pelosi using the word....BETRAYAL...Impeachment inquiry is on....

[ProudMNDemocrat]

Speaker Pelosi is not mincing words.

[CanonRay]

1. Thank you Speaker Pelosi

[ecstatic]

2. Finally! I've waited so long to hear this from her.

This is the correct course of action and we will be victorious as a result. The scaredy cats among us need to sit down and reflect on things and return with the right attitude.

[katmondoo]

3. Finally, thank you Nancy Pelosi you are the best.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Trump be traitor.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Game on...Impeachment Inquiry means Business......

from now on, there is no obstruction of justice by Trump, Barr, the DNI, or any office that can now legally stall any investigation. They either comply or face prosecution. The rule of law and the US Constitution has been made clear.

6. McConnel not impeding in Senate makes us wonder whether this is the moment where GOP has had

enough? Or is this play to hoodwink america like the Texas Air National Guard report by Dan Rather did? Where Rather was set up. And this whistleblower is a dodge?

Get your popcorn

16. I just stocked up a couple of weeks ago.

I have a feeling my fabulous collapsing silicone microwave popcorn popper will get plenty of use over the next few weeks.

[Ligyron]

19. That's why I don't think they should limit their investigation.

If they concentrate on just the whistleblower issue, so as not to "confuse the American people" as has been suggested, and let's say it turned out to be another trap, we're screwed.

But if they cast a wider net, and we know there's plenty to fish for out there, we are still on track to catch those bastards anyway. I say the more that comes out the better. Some carefully laid out messaging near election time can make clear the traitorous behaviors and if we're lucky Trump will be gone by then anyway and we can work on Pence, Barr and the Pomp payola ass Sec of State.

7. "A republic, if you can keep it."

Franklin was prescient, and Speaker Pelosi is right-on for invoking his words.

[Stuart G]

8. YES, that is THE word...."BETRAYAL"..

definition of "betrayal":

Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations.

Trump has betrayed the United States of America.. That is it, and that is all.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

10. That word made my ears prick up.....

Betrayal of the American people.

Betrayal of the Office of The President.

Betrayal of the Constitution.

Betrayal of the Rule of Law.

Speaker Pelosi minced no words when she illustrated what Betrayal meant.

[Stuart G]

11. Yes, you are totally correct...on all 5 sentences...K and R your post #10 and also,

..your original post.!!!.

[yellowdogintexas]

17. so is betrayal a lesser version of treason?

William Weld is right

[mvd]

9. Welcome aboard, Nancy!

Just can’t ignore all the criminal things Trump has done. It is a happy day!

[ancianita]

12. And twice, "This is against the law."

[B Stieg]

13. And at least once, "NO one is above the law!"

Here we go!

[lark]

14. My jaw dropped when she mentioned "enemy of the people".

Then afterwards on MSNBC they interviewed that scrotum slime Repug Kennedy from LA who said that Biden needed to be investigated every bit as hard as drumpf. What a fucking treason weasel.

[ffr]

15. No not betrayal once. Betrayal three times over to be clear.

18. immediately subpoena everyone who has resisted testimony. get tax returns. get

full mueller report. get counter intelligence reports.

make a LONG list of items to be within the impeachment inquiry but don't forget the long list of more minor transgressions that should be kept in the fore front. No reason to stop talking about all the outrageous behavior that is reprehensible but not impeachment worthy

[warmfeet]

20. She is correct.

The orange abomination is a betrayal of everything that is alive.

He brings death, and only death.

Unchecked cancer makes the abomination look bad by comparison.

21. awesome
