Report: Source close to Speaker Pelosi can't see Impeachment Vote taking place this year

[NewsCenter28]

For those of you wondering on timing and, indeed, those speculating Springtime, you may have nailed it:

One source close to Pelosi was skeptical of moving impeachment this month.

“I just don’t see it,” the Democratic source said about advancing impeachment before Christmas. “It’s too big.”

The breaks appear to be being applied. BTW, I just follow Chad on Twitter because he seems to have shown he knows the inner workings of House timings in and out. Please forgive the source. Chad appears to be one of the legit few journalists there.

1. Your link to Fox is unnerving folks

But your note: “Please forgive the source. Chad appears to be one of the legit few journalists there.”

Is helpful

3. Remember Shep Smith

and Chris Wallace are legit journalists as well.

Also, worth nothing that there is nothing definitive on the schedule. So, it's confusing. Chad is helpful in this regard

4. Nice article free of normal Fox vitriol

7. You should see the rest of the site

It really is more of a tabloid trash version of a RNC mailer lol. Disgusting but yeah for us parliamentary process nerds, Chad is and has been wonderful.

15. It's STILL FOX, people.

6. Chris Wallace 's town hall with Mayor Pete was amazing fair

2. It is a tough risk/benefit analysis... but later is *probably* better.

The GrOPers will go full McTurtle with a "We can't impeach someone in an election year!!!1!!!!1!!" argument, but they have also already telegraphed that their Senate trial strategy is going to be super-fast, super-shallow, get-it-over-with-asap-so-we-can-take-the-PR-hit-and-move-on.

In light of that, spilling out more and more evidence over months and pushing the Senate trial closer to the election period (and possibly after many primaries) *may* be beneficial.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of thing. The "correct" answer is only available in hindsight and maybe not even then.

5. And also we will

Have final court orders for the tax returns, the unredacted Mueller report, and ordered witness testimony by then if we do wait.

8. GOOD!

This thing needs to be slow-walked to hell and back while we build a more-overwhelming case. At this point, rushing things only makes it easier for Repugs to quickly dismiss the charges.

10. and complain about the process

(which they'll do in any case!)

[crickets]

14. +1

9. Wouldn't surprise me, considering the late date already;

lots more to do, including more testimony. (We should be so lucky.)

[Tiggeroshii]

11. So. The president may be impeached in the middle of an election year?

That's cool

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. Good....slow walk this sucker. nt

[albacore]

13. As the vise closes, more shit will ooze out. More charges & scandals. Let the fruit ripen. n

by mid-april most will have passed, i would expect maximum impact for the trial to hit the senate somewhere between mid april and mid may. how will these senators vote without the fear of a primary from the right? will they appeal to base and acquit or try to sway independents and vote to remove? also how sweet would it be to ruin red dons convention with split screen trial in senate.
