Pelosi may be a witness FOR President Trump! One of the allegations against Trump is that his refusal to accept that the election was fair sowed the violence that befell on the Capitol. The defense can ask Pelosi why her refusal to accept the result of the 2016 election was any different? Her May 2017 tweet is CLEAR. "Our election was hijacked. There is no question." As the person 3rd in line to be President, she brought up baseless claims to foment discord, and undermine the duly elected President of the United States. She presented no evidence to any court to back up her baseless claims. Yet she actually parrots that Trump's claims are baseless! I'm wondering how many threads that it is appropriate to point out that Pelosi is BEYOND hypocritical, she is an existential threat to our Democracy. The previous threat (Trump) has been voted out. Since she obviously has shown to be a liar and a hypocrite, if it wasn't for partisan politics she would be unanimously removed from office. How can anyone defend her? Seriously? Answer--- Trump bad! Pelosi not as bad!


Why was she suddenly tweeting about it on May 2017? There must be more context.

FBI director Comey fired, May 9?
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Eliminate all of the liars and hypocrites and we'd have a combined eight or nine people between both bodies of Congress.

. My son said he thinks that’s when she found out more on how Russia stole the election. And her belief that Trump was in with Putin to do it.

In 1876, just minutes before the house voted to impeach, secretary of war William Belknap handed the president his resignation.

The house still voted to impeach him, and the articles of impeachment were sent to the senate. He was charged unanimously with “criminally disregarding his duty as Secretary of War and basely prostituting his high office to his lust for private gain.”

The senate agreed that that it retained impeachment jurisdiction over former government officials. The senate held a trial.

Belknap was acquitted of all charges.
Though a majority voted against Belknap for all of the charges, a 2/3 majority was not reached on any of them.

...just a few more days, and it's back to Mordor for him. But no reason not to expect more mischief.

The trial probably going to be a big clusterf.

I think the republicans are prepared to not change the rules, and will work on nothing but the trial full time, preventing any biden confirmation or other legislation from being heard.

It will put an enormous time pressure on the trial, which won't be a good thing if a fair trial is what is wanted.

There's a report Trump wants another crowd and a military send off when he leaves the White House.
