Nancy Pelosi’s Improv Comedy Show

Pelosi rushed the impeachment of President Trump, calling it urgent and refusing to allow a presidential privilege claim to proceed to court. Yet now she has stalled on the articles, raising serious questions about the legitimacy of the impeachment.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Pelosi if she does not turn over the articles of impeachment, he will act as though the House had never passed them in the first place. 

If, by Monday, the articles do not arrive in the Senate to take up the trial of the President the House of Representatives will have, for all intents and purposes, “pocket vetoed” his impeachment.

"If the Speaker continues to refuse to take her own accusations to trial, the Senate will move forward next week with the business of our people," McConnell said. "We will operate on the assumption that House Democrats are too embarrassed to ever move forward."

A growing number of Democrats in the House and Senate have joined Republicans in recent days saying it’s time for Pelosi to send the articles to the Senate.

Tick tock, Nancy.  Tick tock.

During her weekly press briefing at the Capitol yesterday she said, “I’m not holding them indefinitely.  I will turn them over when I’m ready, and that will probably be soon.”

During the presser, a reporter for Fox News asked Pelosi, “Are you going to the Niners game?”

Pelosi responded saying, “It would be my intention to go.  I have, unfortunately, responsibilities to save our country from peril this weekend.”

Football fans really love trick plays when they work, but a trick play wouldn’t really be a trick play if it worked more often than it failed.  Unless it’s your team, trick plays that spiral toward outright catastrophe are far more entertaining than those executed flawlessly.

Nancy’s trick play is precisely that kind of catastrophe.  No offense to you Niner fans out there, but I’m rooting for the Minnesota Vikings to embarrass Colin Kaepernick’s former team.  It’ll serve Nancy right.
