Nancy Pelosi: "the President's extortion and bribery"

In a letter to her colleagues, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) -- Last week, the country was impressed by the valor and patriotism of the dedicated public servants and career diplomats, appointed by the President, in speaking truth to power. This week, we will hear from additional witnesses who will courageously expose the truth and defend our democracy.

The facts are uncontested: that the President abused his power for his own personal, political benefit, at the expense of our national security interests.

The weak response to these hearings has been, “Let the election decide.” That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections.

There are also some who say that no serious wrongdoing was committed, because the military assistance to Ukraine was eventually released. The fact is, the aid was only released after the whistleblower exposed the truth of the President’s extortion and bribery, and the House launched a formal investigation.

She's the Speaker of the House. She knows the Constitution and the US Code.

If he doesn't actually hold that office he can't be impeached from it.

But I'll bet it hurts her to say it out loud.

president.

Lying, scoundrel, felon, cheating cheetolini.

He will go down in the history books as the least competent, most felonious, piece of shit in history.

He deserves what traitors deserve.

What do I really think?

It is best I not say.
