WATCH: Pelosi says that Barr lied to Congress
The Mueller report all but exonerated President Trump. All it proved is that this was all a gigantic waste of time and money.
The Democrats REFUSE to let go. If anything, they’ve amped up their rhetoric.
In fact, Nancy Pelosi is now screeching that we’ve entered a full-blown “constitutional crisis.”
Haven’t they been saying this for years now?
ANYWAY – House Democrats are looking to hold more Trump administration officials in contempt. It’s all they’ve got at this point – and it’s absolutely nefarious.
According to the New York Times:
Speaking to reporters in the Capitol, Ms. Pelosi said she agreed with Representative Jerrold Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who said Wednesday that the nation was in a constitutional crisis after his committee recommended the House hold Attorney General William P. Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over an unredacted version of the special counsel’s report, along with the report’s underlying evidence.
“The administration has decided they are not going to honor their oath of office,” she said.
Ms. Pelosi said Democrats would bring the contempt citation to the floor for a vote of the full House “when we are ready.”
This is nothing but threats. Seriously, what does it even mean?
Democrats have not settled on a precise date for the vote to hold Mr. Barr in contempt of Congress, though Mr. Nadler said after Wednesday’s vote that he wanted it scheduled “rapidly.”
Of COURSE he does. I’m just so sick of all of this.
“In terms of timing, when we’re ready, we’ll come to the floor,” Ms. Pelosi said. “There might be some other contempt of Congress issues that we want to deal with at the same time.”
Ms. Pelosi has been urging caution since the release of the report by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel; she believes that Democrats campaigned on addressing issues like health care and the high cost of prescription drugs and must keep their focus on priorities for voters.
She reiterated that message on Thursday, while at the same time clearly leaving the door open for impeachment.
“We’re going to do the right thing, that’s just the way it is, and it is going to be based on fact and law and patriotism, not partisanship or anything else,” she said.
HAHAHAHAHA.
That’s rich, Nance.
That’s really rich.
