HomeNews WirePelosi’s Slip Of The Tongue During Impeachment Presser Revealed An Astonishing Admission Editor January 17, 2020 When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held her press conference in which she announced the impeachment managers who are going to be going to the Senate for the impeachment, she announced (to no surprise) that Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Jerry Nadler will be heading the team. Also on the team is Zoe Lofgren who, ironically enough was called out by George Stephanopoulos in December because of her hypocrisy on the partisan use of impeachment.

Last month, ABC's George Stephanopoulos called her out for her hypocrisy on the "partisan use of impeachment." pic.twitter.com/komIaL4UWw — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) January 15, 2020 Ironically enough, Schiff won his seat in the House of Representatives when he campaigned against the impeachment manager during the Clinton impeachment trial. Pelosi also went on some crazy schpiel about time saying something along the lines of, "I referenced markers that our founders and our poets and others have used over time to place us in time to emphasize the importance of time, because everything is about time. How we use it, how we mark it." Honestly, what it reminds me of is a quote from The Office where manager Michael Scott gave his advice on life, "David here it is, my philosophy is basically this, and this is something that I live by, and I always have, and I always will: Don't ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever." That's about how much sense Nancy Pelosi makes when she talks. .@SpeakerPelosi begins on an existential note: "I referenced markers that our founders and our poets and others have used over time to place us in time to emphasize the importance of time, because everything is about time. How we use it, how we mark it." pic.twitter.com/dMNmNV5sqG — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) January 15, 2020 She then took an opportunity to blame Putin and Russia for this impeachment. What does Russia have to do with this at all? Americans decided that Trump should win and he did. He's going to win again later this year so get ready! Speaker Pelosi: "This is about the Constitution of the United States and it's important for the president to know, and Putin to know, that voters in America should decide who our president is, not Putin and Russia." pic.twitter.com/10epi07gQi — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) January 15, 2020 Previously, Pelosi said that this isn't something to be happy about, yet she sure seems excited about the impeachment. She even gave out souvenir pens to the managers. Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "He has been impeached. He's been impeached forever. They can never erase that." pic.twitter.com/7CceOmV74E — The Hill (@thehill) January 15, 2020 Again, if this is just about the rule of law, why is she bragging about having impeached the President forever, as if that follows any semblance of American ideals? If he’s acquitted, then he’s not “impeached forever” anymore than someone acquitted of a crime is charged forever. It begs the question of whether we have a fair system or not. Because a fair system doesn’t seek to typecast someone for all eternity based on a partisan investigation, even ignoring the eventual outcome of said investigation (which will be a rightful acquittal of these ridiculous articles of impeachment). But that’s exactly what Pelosi is seeking to do. Why? Because of politics. They do not think they can beat Trump in 2020, and that dumpster fire of a debate last night probably only made Democrats more worried about the prospect of four more years of the current administration. In the face of that reality, they are choosing to weaponize the political process in an unprecedented way. (Red State)
