Pelosi Again Squashes Impeachment Talk As President Becomes More Lawless

Donald Trump is doing his best to break whatever laws he can, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still says that we aren’t at the point of impeachment yet. Either Pelosi is playing some kind of long game that the rest of us are too ignorant to understand, or she’s too terrified to make a move against the least popular president in modern history. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses the possibilities.

Nancy Pelosi's getting a lot of praise right now for her. A clap backs to Donald Trump, both figuratively and literally, uh, but in the last 48 hours, you've seen a lot of folks say like, hell yeah. Pelosi's putting Trump in his place. She is winning this. She's doing everything correct except that unfortunately I've got to disagree with you on that. Nancy Pelosi yesterday, this was long after you know Trump stormed out of that meeting and did or did not have a tantrum depending on who you ask. Nancy Pelosi again yesterday said, you know what? He really wants us to impeach him, but unfortunately we're just not on that path. This is what Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Thursday. She said, we can get the facts to the American people through our investigation. It may take us to a place that is unavoidable in terms of impeachment or not, but we're not at that place.

We can get the facts to the American people through our investigations. Really. How's that working so far for you? Because last time I checked, all of these cases are currently being held up in court. Donald Trump is not complying with the court orders that say you've got to turn it over. His people are not complying with subpoenas. You haven't really taken any action on them. You haven't held anybody in contempt. You haven't sent the sergeant at arms to go and lock them up until they testify. So stop acting like your investigations are getting this information to the American public. What you've done is set up a string of legal battles that yeah, you're going to win. We know that, but at the same time you could have just opened the impeachment inquiry and forced all this, uh, documents to be handed over to you immediately. You could have done that.

You should have done that. A lot of people in this country would like to see you do that. A lot of members of your own chamber would like to see you do that. Even some Republicans would like to see you do that, but you're not. Now there's two possible explanations for this one. Either Nancy Pelosi is playing some kind of long game and she's got an ace, a personally that we do not know about and she could be playing everybody in this country to absolutely just lay it out six months, even one year down the road and then we all look like idiots for criticizing her. Honestly, I hope that's the case. I hope that there is a time within the next six to 12 months when I have to come on here and say, Dang, Nancy played me. I totally thought she was being weak and wishy washy, but she knew exactly what she was doing and I have more respect for now than ever.
