Pelosi promised another impeachment in lieu of the 25th...

[deckeda]

She issued an ultimatum to Pence and the Cabinet. Even if the Articles were ready to go (and I do not understand why it’s assumed they would be) it’s her choice to hover over the trigger while waiting to see if Pence and the Cabinet comply.

It’s been what, 24 hours at most?

[sekker]

Wow. I think we will know more later today.

Come on! Like there's any doubt that people both within and outside of the government have been keeping articles of impeachment handy and up to date.

I'd be surprised if there weren't at least a half dozen drafts ready on the morning of the 7th. It wouldn't be very hard.

Heck, you could probably set an intern to pull 50 impeachable offenses from just the stuff documented in posts in this forum. The man's as purely reprehensible as anyone can get.

The Articles have been done since yesterday by a House team led by Ilhan Omar.

And I just listened to the recording of Nancy Pelosi played on BBC She clearly said the House ‘may’ file articles of impeachment IF VP Pence and the Cabinet do not invoke the 25th Amendment.

I think it’s important to report on what’s actually been said. We’ve lived far too long in the time of Fake News. Let’s move forward with facts as much as we can.

Her interview played on BBC was also very informative. The House is not in session, so there is no way to vote on these AoI until Nancy Pelosi calls everyone back to DC.

ABC is reporting that they are moving forward with impeachment, could come up on the House floor as soon as early next week.

(Apparently the discussions amongst the Cabinet members about the 25th didn't go anywhere, as they were loathe to do it, and even the Republicans have now been involved in discussions about impeachment... incredible.)

See? It legitimately takes a minute for interns to crank up Word, run the spell check, track changes and so on. It’s a not 2-page college position paper.

They were drawn up by Congresspeople. Not interns. One for the phone call, one for the insurrection. Impeachment is a serious thing, stop belittling the people working on it just because you think it’s ssecretarial work and they are all female.

Dem caucus is discussing impeachment vote right now. Articles are already drafted. Pelosi has talked to joint chiefs about blocking trump from initiating any military action, according to associated press

This is one woman in one powerful office, but apparently we expect her to do everything. Pence won't do a damn thing.
