Lawyers close to President Donald Trump are exploring whether House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to temporarily withhold articles of impeachment from the Senate could mean that the president hasn’t actually been impeached. The case is a rhetorical one following Wednesday night’s vote to impeach the president on two articles. The U.S. Constitution grants the House of Representatives full authority over impeachment. But the argument is part of an effort by the White House and Senate Republicans to maximize their leverage as lawmakers debate when and how to conduct a trial on charges that the president abused his power to solicit an investigation into political rival Joe Biden,

The law is in our hands now. No, he is NOT impeached and will not be removed from office.

It's a one sided impeachment like the one sided Mueller investigation.

Nancy, you can't have it both ways.
Like Katie Hill, you will end up out of power.

This becomes a bigger joke by the day. This is what happens when you try to pull off a political hit job that has nothing to back it up and zero bi-partisan support. Now she’s in a corner of her own making and the Democrats come out looking like fools no matter what they do. Justice.

Pelosi is terrified of sending the articles to the senate because she knows that she will lose bigly. She should just do her best Emily Litella impersonation and say, “Never mind.”

The House insisted that it was an urgent matter that impeachment move forward promptly. Every day she delays delivering the articles of impeachment to the Senate proves that this was a lie. The Democrats have spent three years trying to impeach President Trump, so if anything was there, they had plenty of time to find it. They need to be told to put up or shut up!

Am I mistaken or is Pelosi trying to extort a quid pro quo to force the Senate to conduct the trial according to her rules by delaying the release of the articles of impeachment to the Senate. This seems like a blatant abuse of power to me.

Figures the media asks the wrong question. The question should be IMO, 'is the Senate required to enable this democrat tantrum and waste their time on what we all know is a complete and bogus hoax?' I don't believe they are. For Pelosi is being forced to lay the democrat cards on the table and they have nothing. Nothing except hurt feelings that Trump won, and that he refuses to cower before them. Heck, he made a bunch of them with his donations. Which he jokingly demanded back at the last rally.

Rush forgot to add that another reason for the Marxist's delay in handing over the articles to the Senate is also the best way to get more Republicans to cave over the Christmas break; and I am sure many of them will. Trump will say or tweet something true in a way they purposely get offended and several will cave saying, "With that last hateful comment, maybe he does need to be removed." Like Rush knows liberals like the back of his hand, I know feckless Republicans, especially the senator kind, like the back of mine. Epstein might be dead, but his blackmail videos live on.

Nan has her panties in a bunch because 1) it's a campaign year and she can't run out the clock to November in hopes of doing a trial with a dim-controlled Senate, 2) with the present Senate, she knows McConnell will make any proceeding short and sweet with acquittal, 3) everybody understands the dims' ongoing game of smearing Trump, and 4) the President's approval numbers have climbed even higher. She also knows that payback is a witch and eventually there will be a come to Jesus moment for her dim colleagues. This will start with the indictments of Comey, Brennan,Clapper, and Strzok. And it is not surprising that the PIAPS and Obie are on the down low these days until they see what's in store for them. Obie went to hide in his fake birth state of Hawaii.

Nan may also sense that there could be millions of us standing at her door step in January demanding to have her head on a platter.

McConnell should draft a sense of the Senate resolution stating, "If the house was to present articles if impeachment worded as, 'ARTICLE 1 [INSERT TEXT] and ARTICLE 2 [INSERT TEXT], ' the Senate will immediately consider the president acquitted on both articles." Requiring only 51 votes to pass, Pelosi's pocketed articles would be rendered worthless.

The House voted to impeach, but they haven't followed through with impeachment yet. We can all vote to have lunch at Burgerdoodle, but until we do it, it isn't done.

So far it is only a Democrat vote to censure.
Until it goes to the Senate it isn't an impeachment.

Then the President is not impeached and should not be referred to as such. The GOP must make this clear and not allow Pelosi to take credit for a task not yet completed.

This could be a ploy. The Rats know that President Trump will not be removed from office. Plus, they fear a trial, with Rat scum put in the witness box and overwhelming being embarrassed when their endless lies are exposed.
So, do not send the articles to the Senate and they can create new narratives. Lots of people believe that impeachment means removal from office. The Rats in the media will feel free to claim that President Trump was impeached but refuses to cooperate with Congress. The House has taken the leadership and is dedicated to bringing this impeachment to a just end.
Rats are extremely experienced and adept at pure, unadulterated bovine scatology.

Worse yet, #23, a lot of millennials, who were never taught true history or civics, believe that if PDT is impeached, Illary will become president. That’s how ignorant our younger generations have become.

The impeachment inquiry was always a scam. That is why Pelosi isn't passing the articles of impeachment on to the Senate. Nasty Nancy is afraid the Senate is going to squash impeachment like the fraud it is, and move on to other things.
The Democrats have nothing.
Impeachment isn't working.
Climate Change 'Saving the Planet' isn't working.
Free Healthcare isn't working.
High taxes isn't working.
Wealth redistribution isn't working.
Social justice isn't working.
The Democrats need to show they can lead and govern, and they are failing miserably. They have been reduced to playing stupid games, and relying on the media to coverup their corruption.
People aren't buying it. People want jobs and prosperity, and the Democrats provide neither.
