Nancy Pelosi is about to announce an impeachment surrender that will humiliate her
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are about to face a reckoning on impeachment. The Left has quickly realized they walked head first into a political buzz saw. And Nancy Pelosi is about to announce an impeachment surrender that will humiliate her.
Nancy Pelosis decision to withhold articles of impeachment until Republicans agree to let Democrats run the Senate impeachment trial is about to blow up in the Lefts face.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell laughed at the idea that somehow preventing the start of a Senate trial put pressure on him and was content to wait Pelosi out.
Now that Congress is retuning, POLITICO reports Pelosi is prepared to cave in and send the articles of impeachment only to get nothing in return.
POLITICO Playbook reported:
For the immediate future, PELOSI will be the most closely watched of the four. Even though shes widely expected to send the impeachment articles to the Senate this week thereby starting the trial no one has any idea what shes going to do because she has not made her intentions clear. The speakers office said no decision has been made on when she will send the articles. One thing that is clear is that she doesnt have a ton of leverage, because Senate Majority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL doesnt tend to give into pressure almost ever. So, how she gets out of this situation will be interesting to see.
STILL, DEMOCRATS close to Pelosi believe the delay has been successful. They point to TRUMPS erratic behavior on Twitter and the daylight between some of the presidents allies and MCCONNELL over the push to change Senate rules to begin the trial without the Houses articles. These Democrats also say they believe theyve gotten traction spotlighting the issue of fairness in the trial, something Rep. ADAM SCHIFF (D-Calif.) pushed over the weekend and that Democrats will continue talking about this week.
This means a Senate impeachment trial will start in short order. And the outcome is not in doubt.
Senate Republicans will unanimously vote to acquit President Trump and anywhere from one to three Democrats are expected to join them.

Nancy will be eating cheese on this for quite some time to come.
You cannot be a bully when you do not hold all the cards.
