Damn it, Nancy! You’re losing me here. Of course it would die in the Senate. The point is to make a stand and get all those Republicans on record as voting NOT to impeach trump.

If we can’t start impeachment hearings against this asshole after all he’s done, there’s no point in keeping the impeachment rules on the books…because they are useless.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she still has reservations about initiating impeachment proceeding against President Donald Trump, whose administration evaded numerous congressional requests for information relating to his finances and staff this week.

At a press conference on Thursday, Pelosi justified her long standing reluctance to begin the impeachment process, calling it “the easy way out” for Republicans who are “complicit in the special-interest agenda,” because they know the effort would “end at the Senate’s edge.”

If Pelosi, as House Speaker, approves the process, an article of impeachment would have to get through a House vote. If an article passes in the House, two-thirds of the Senate would still have to vote to convict the president.

This means that at least 20 Senate Republicans would have to cross the party line.
