Pelosi says Trump lawyers have 'disgraced' themselves, suggests disbarment

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday hammered the lawyers leading President Trump's impeachment defense, saying they've trampled on the Constitution while questioning how they've been allowed to keep their jobs.
"I don't know how they can retain their lawyer status, in the comments that they're making," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.
Pelosi on Thursday accused Trump's Republican allies of trying "to dismantle the Constitution" in their defense of the president.
Pelosi on Thursday said a Senate vote to acquit Trump would be invalid without calling new witnesses.
"He will not be acquitted. You cannot be acquitted if you don't have a trial; and you don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation," she said.
She also called on Roberts to step in and break a tie vote, in the event that three Republican senators vote for witnesses, creating a 50-50 tally.
"I would think that they would have confidence in the chief justice of the United States," she said. "That's interesting to me that they're afraid of breaking a tie with the chief justice of the United States."
Pelosi declined to say if the House committees that have investigated Trump's pressure campaign in Ukraine — the issue that led to Trump's impeachment last month — would move to subpoena Bolton if the Senate does not.
"This is in the Senate now," she said. "We'll see what happens after that."

Reelection is what happens afterwards
She retires and enter AAA

Joe Biden disappears until his court date.
Schiff gets his own Court TV show

The way this is structured is that the house was supposed to provide them with documentation and witness testimonies.
She should not have let Schiff push her around and present everything so quickly. Had they done their jobs properly then the Senate would be in the presence of all of the information and witness testimonies that would be needed. Unfortunately they realized that doing the job properly would probably make their charges look even weaker.
She's an idiot who is starting to sound more and more like she suffered from some mini-strokes.

So after all the talk of Trump threatening witnesses they decide to threaten trumps lawyers with their livelihoods if they don’t conform to what she thinks and lays down. The hypocrisy of these fricking idiots it’s just mind-boggling. The lack of self-awareness and even worse the people that follow these fricking idiots is just beyond disgusting

This coming from someone whose appointed managers have gotten buttfricked on national TV is pretty rich.

There were witnesses and documentations. In the House hearings

I distinctly remember 18 witnesses having testified already.

How many times do we have to remind them?
This is not a trial, it's a political process.

I hate to break it to her, but as soon as that 34th senator votes to not convict, he will indeed be acquitted.
Too bad, so sad, buh bye.

Defense has probably who is universally regarded as the best constitutional lawyer in the country....whom only sees the document and its true intentions. Makes sense.

Every American should be chilled by this rhetoric.
Disagreeing with them means they should have their lives destroyed.
