Pelosi on Parnas: "Does anyone think that rogue A.G. is going to appoint a special prosecutor?

Pelosi on Parnas: "Does anyone think that the rogue A.G. is going to appoint a special prosecutor? No, because he's implicated in all of this. This is an example of all of the president's henchmen. And I hope that the senators do not become part of the president's henchmen."

Pelosi: "When I was at grade school, there was a sign on the wall ... it said, 'What a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to deceive.' You see this more and more and more in all of this, this tangled web to deceive that the administration is engaged in."

It appears that Pelosi is playing an interesting game.

1. As we send over the impeachment papers, we are turning over the Parnas card.
2. If you don't let us have witnesses, we'll turn over another card.
3. You don't know how many cards we are holding.

4. Your turn, McConnell.

1. Keep saying it

It may be nothing more than a fart in a frying pan, but keep mentioning the administration's naked corruption. Each new bit of corruption that leaks out should be pointed out and identified for the record. We can only hope that sooner or later some media outlet is going to notice and begin reporting even without a "both sides" angle.

It could happen.

2. How does a fart get in a frying pan?

6. You guys lead very interesting lives.

17. Who knew we had Flatologysts in our midst! /NT

15. Nothing good comes easy.

3. At this point, it's almost like bearing witness.

The good people have done about everything they can. Now the task lies in the hands of forces we have little, maybe no, control over.

(Until November, that is)

4. I love your analysis:

7. She is free now, to nationally dish the politics at these trash talkers of the House Impeachment

process back at them.

Unlike them, she's got the Constitution on her side.

[Hortensis]

8. John Bolton is reportedly writing a book, so he intends to

go public for probably much or (almost) all anyway. That suggests that, should McConnell not choose to have him subpoenaed to testify, Bolton might "testify" in the court of public opinion as Parnas did -- outside the constraints and control of trial procedure. As Kpete indicates, a trump in Pelosi's hand, at very least a wild card McConnell fears.

12. " a trump in Pelosi's hand"?

Eww, Nancy, drop that thing; you don't know where it's been! Put your boot back on it and hold it down.

[Hortensis]

13. Lol. Can't imagine her approaching him without K9 gloves.

[dalton99a]

9. Pelosi understands the scope and depth of the crime family's corruption

and the danger our country faces

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. sidenote: In 3rd tweet, that is how a calm, collected, informed politician publicly drinks water. nt

11. 3. You don't know how many cards we are holding.

The most delicious of the points, for me. Plus, you don't know how many more cards we'll be dealt before it's all over.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Can't the House continue investigations in light of new info and add additional Articles of

Impeachment if warranted and submitted in addition to the existing two Articles? The Committees could have other chairs besides Schiff and Nadler since they are going to busy?

[ffr]

16. Damn, she is driving the wooden stake through the hearts of these vampires.
