The House of Representatives on partisan support voted to impeach Trump. No Republican and a few Democrats voted not to impeach the president. That’s absolutely critical because if one Republican voted to impeach then it allow the Democrats to call it a bipartisan support.
Soon after the vote, Pelosi told reporters that she would threaten to withhold the two articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trail. This tells me she is a complete moron. Threaten what? What will that serve? Pelosi knew from the beginning that impeachment was political suicide. However, being pressed by rich donors of the elite establishment, she had no choice.
She lost bipartisan support. Adan Schiff lies continuously. Every witness during the public hearing unanimously said there wasn’t a quid pro quo, the transcript between Trump and the Ukraine President was accurate, and all the witnesses admit that the president is the only body that dictates foreign policy and not unelected bureaucrats. Also, every witness were based on secondary and third hand hearsay. Public support for impeachment is waning; especially, for the independents.
Pelosi and the Democrats held secret hearings, leaked closed door testimony to the press, kept the Republicans in the dark, and didn’t allow Trump due process to defend himself. This scenario is liken to Socialist courtroom trail.
Pelosi couldn’t decide how to label Trumps wrongdoing. They used quid pro quo. Since the public were neutral to the word, Pelosi coined bribery, but that was too strong. Extortion was used, but that was short lived. Now, the word obstruction became the word of the day. Of course, the two articles of impeachment of obstruction of congress and abuse of power are very general and weak. Just note, it is obstruction of congress and not obstruction of justice, which is a federal crime. That itself says that the Democrats don’t have a leg to stand on.
There is nothing Pelosi can do. She went over her head. She screwed it up so bad that it may cost her of her speakership and the House Democratic majority.
