Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi led two hoax impeachments against President Trump and then tried to put him in prison.
But Pelosi just pulled a 180.
And Nancy Pelosi just did Donald Trump this unbelievable favor.
Nancy Pelosi helps sink impeachment effort against President Trump
Shri Thanedar was someone Americans had no idea served in Congress.
Thanedar was an anonymous second term member of the House of Representatives hailing from Michigan.
But Thanedar became a household name by introducing seven articles of impeachment against the President for a whole new slate of hoax “scandals.”
Thanedar is facing a primary challenger from Rashida Tlaib-backed challenger, Michigan state Rep. Donavan McKinney.
It quickly became clear that these articles of impeachment were a political stand designed to ingratiate Thanedar with the left-wing base and choke off any oxygen to McKinney’s primary challenge.
Thanedar then threatened to force a vote on his articles of impeachment.
Republicans happily would have obliged.
Putting impeachment front and center would have shown the American people that Democrats weren’t a serious party and were just consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But in a closed-door meeting of House Democrats, senior Democrats expressed opposition to Thanedar’s impeachment stunt.
Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) spoke out against a doomed-to-fail impeachment, declaring it “idiotic.”
Axios reported Nancy Pelosi joined Nadler in opposing impeachment at this time.
“The comments from Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) were met with applause from lawmakers and backed up by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to six sources familiar with the matter,” Axios went on to report, “Nadler, the former top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, called Rep. Shri Thanedar’s (D-Mich.) efforts ‘idiotic’ and urged Democrats to vote for a Republican motion to kill his articles of impeachment.”
Nancy Pelosi counseled Democrats that rushing into an impeachment was a bad idea.
“Pelosi, who as speaker oversaw Democrats’ two impeachments against President Trump in his first term, echoed Nadler’s criticism but did not explicitly urge Democrats to vote to table,” sources told Axios. “She said that, in the past, the party has always adopted a measured strategy when it comes to impeachment in order to avoid the appearance it being a purely political.”
Democrats expressed frustration that Thanedar was about to hand President Trump a political gift.
“People’s sense is that it’s a total distraction and waste of time given [that there is] no path to victory,” a top Democrat member of Congress told Axios.
Thanedar could read the room and backed down, announcing he would no longer force a vote on his articles of impeachment against President Trump.
“After talking with many colleagues, I have decided not to force a vote on impeachment today,” Thanedar wrote in a text message to POLITICO. “Instead, I will add to my articles of impeachment and continue to rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans to defend the Constitution with me.”
