Hello;
We all know that Rep. Nancy Pelosi is not stupid, politically. She is navigating the Impeachment proceedings quite skillfully, as far as I can see at this moment. But I have a question, and many of you Loyal Commenters will have varied opinions.
I’d love to hear them!
IS IT POSSIBLE — having already gathered enough evidence for an Impeachment Trial, that Speaker Pelosi is DELAYING the Vote to Impeach? She may be doing this for one reason only — to get enough Media Exposure to sway the Senate to 1) either mutiny in order to force a vote, or 2) to box in the Turtle (see above!), politically, enough to where he has no choice but to schedule the Vote to Convict and Remove?
Not knowing about the mechanics of a proceeding, or a strategy, such as this, I will be the first to confess ignorance. But it would seem to me, at least from the Outside looking in, that Pelosi will not wait for the General Election next year; too much damage has already occurred to our culture and our standing in the world, with even more promised. She needs to keep vacuuming the Air out of the Room. She needs the Media exposure.
HOW?
By keeping the Inquiry on the front pages as long as possible; she did a great job in her press conference the other day, by bringing the “Quid Pro Quo” charge out of the clouds and on to my kitchen table (Bribery!). Obviously there is more, and we all know it.
As long as the Public Testimonies stay at the forefront of the News, the Squatter will continue to rack up charge after charge of Witness Intimidation, Obstruction, Violation of the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, Incitement to Terrorism, Abuse of Power …, the list goes on — YOU can complete it, as many of you have already!
I personally see the game plan as forcing the Senate to abdicate support for him— by using pressure from GOP Senators’ Power base. But I am not gullible either; I know that there will be the Hard Core of impassioned low-information voters, that will follow him through the “gates of Hell” just to see him “win”. Many of these are the White Nationalists, the Evangelicals, and the ”Status Quo’ers”.
I know. It’s sad.
There are others; those can be swayed. As of today, even FOX is trying, ever-so-slowly, to distance itself from the White House. But then there is Hannity the Hun, Ingraham the Insolent, and the other minions who don’t merit mention. Enough said.
I am up here in the Peanut Gallery, popcorn at my side, beverage-of-choice in my cooler. I have my Political Scorecard, and I am waiting for the Hammer to fall.
Erdogan and the Saudis might be disappointed — I hope.
