Pelosi on impeachment: if the Senate exonerates Trump

[ancianita]

197. I'll feel miserable if we die on that hill,but it'll be a good miserable in that when we later die,

we'll know we did the best we could. That nothing Mueller or Democrats or the Intelligence Community did was fabrication, hoax, witch hunt, conspiracy or fiction in living up to their oaths in the reality we live.

Fabrication, hoax, witch hunt, conspiracy and fiction piled on fiction are the machinery of Putin's Russia strategy and tactics to destroy Western democracy.

Let's remember, the Founders have been the standing American models for any of us who swear to die on the hill of those highest principles.

Let 45 and Russian newsfeeds crow about exoneration. Their propaganda will damn them; they will be hoist by their own petard as Americans hold to what they saw and heard. That is all we can reasonably expect.

How could anyone not see the last two years as a time of the greatest threat to democracy in their lifetime, and just stand by to watch and kibitz about what happens. I can't.

I called Speaker Pelosi and Reps Bobby Rush and Chuy Garcia earlier this am to explain everything I've said about the positive effect that even failed impeachment would have on Americans who would know the truth that's been hidden from them, and that The People's House would be seen as both strong and truthful in defending the Constitution. That impeachment would gain them votes, and failing to impeach would cost them votes. I didn't say it would lose them a lot more than votes, though.

And yes, I did tell each of them that this impeachment and trial must be the hill The People's House should win or die on.

I won't feel righteous, even though we'll have been In The Right, because I don't think righteousness is conscious, or has much to do with just doing what it takes to save rule of law.

If they impeach, win or lose, yes, I'll be satisfied.
