I have not seen one report that Nancy said the following words after Mueller testified: "The stronger our case is, the worse the senate will look for just letting the president off the hook."
I have not seen one pundit or journalist refer to this quote. That doesn't sound like someone who is only approaching impeachment from a purely political standpoint, or someone who will only impeach if she knows the senate will convict.
Furthermore, virtually all of the headlines screamed that Mueller failed to move the needle on impeachment not even twenty-four hours after Mueller testified. How could anyone possibly know that with certainty? Yet we all react to it as if it is the truth...
Please watch the presser that followed Mueller's testimony.

(130,767 posts)'The stronger our case is, Speaker Pelosi said, explaining why the House needs more evidence through ongoing court cases before entertaining a resolution for an impeachment inquiry, the worse the Senate will look for letting the President off the hook. Note, that she didnt say may look or could look, but will look. . . .
But if it comes to a point where the cone of silence and the obstruction of justice and the cover-up in the White House prevents us from getting that information, that will not prevent us from going forward.'

(7,367 posts)He long ago said that the best way to destroy America is from within. And that is probably why he helped Trump, a master of division.
And the internet is the perfect medium. Russia is way ahead of us when it comes to cyber/info warfare.

(15,315 posts)Social media changed the internet profoundly. I think we seem to take the bait because internet culture now is always so much more immediately reactive, whereas the old internet with its message boards and blogs allowed for slower discussion and reflection. The switch to DU2 probably didn't help, but this was inevitable.
Thank you.
