‘It doesn’t matter’: Pelosi not concerned if Democrats lose majority over impeachment
by John C Moritz
Sept. 28, 2019


AUSTIN, Texas – Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in Texas to cap the most pivotal week in her tenure as the leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, said Saturday Democrats will push ahead with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump regardless of any political consequences.

"It doesn't matter," Pelosi said in the wrap-up event of a weekend festival for politicians and journalists. "Our first responsibility is to the Constitution."

Pelosi, a California Democrat who reclaimed the gavel in the House after her party captured the majority in the 2018 November elections, spoke just blocks away from the Texas Capitol at the festival put on by the Texas Tribune.

In a conversation with Tribune CEO Evan Smith, Pelosi said the decision to move ahead with the possible impeachment was dictated by the president's actions.

"This is a sad time for our country," Pelosi said. "There is no joy in this."

Pelosi said her early hesitance to move ahead with impeachment was because the facts were insufficient until a whistleblower brought to light a phone conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.

She's lying. It definitely matters to her. She'll never be speaker again.

She says it doesn’t matter because she can see the writing on the wall and what her future holds. It’s inevitable that she will lose the speaker role and she will resign.

That means she already knows they are going to get crushed in 2020.

If Democrats cared about the Constitution, then why do they want to abolish the electoral college, destroy the 2nd amendment, and support illegal spying on their opponents?

How is that any different that saying that you don't care about the will of the voter?

She is not lying about that not nattering. She is lying about the reason. They are trying to avoid jail. Ukraine has the goods and they are no longer under DS control.

This is what we call false bravado. She doesn’t want to surrender that gavel until they pry it from her cold, dead claws.

She's like 80 years old. She'd probably retire before that happens
