In reply to the discussion: Pelosi says impeachment 'not a priority' after Cohen's guilty plea [View all]SunSeeker
(51,521 posts)She nowhere says that. You have issues with Pelosi, obviously. And it has nothing to do with what she actually said.
And Nadler did not call Trump a criminal. He called for an investigation.
Words matter, BeyondGeography.
Your bashing of Pelosi is disgusting, and plays right into the GOP's hands.
Here's Pelosi's statement, please tell me how it is materially different from Nadler's:
Pelosi Statement on Manafort Guilty Verdict and Cohen Guilty Plea
San Francisco Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released this statement following the conviction of Paul Manafort on multiple felony charges of tax and bank fraud, and the guilty plea by Michael Cohen of tax fraud, bank fraud and campaign finance violations:
Todays guilty verdicts against President Trumps campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, and the guilty plea of Trumps personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, are further evidence of the rampant corruption and criminality at the heart of Trumps inner circle. Cohens admission of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in hush money at the direction of the candidate to influence the 2016 election shows the Presidents claims of ignorance to be far from accurate, and places him in even greater legal jeopardy.
These convictions are further proof that the Special Counsels team and prosecutors in New York are conducting thorough and professional investigations, which must be permitted to continue free from interference. Congressional Republicans determination to cover up for the President and his criminal cronies betrays their oath of office and undermines their duty to the American people. House Republicans must abandon their complicity with President Trump and affirm that no one is above the law.
The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans unprecedented culture of corruption, cronyism and incompetence is characteristic of the dysfunctional political system in Washington. Democrats are committed to fighting For The People to restore dignity to our democracy and give power back to the people.
