House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has long been heralded by Democrats and their allies in the media as some sort of master political strategist.
She’s nothing more than a far-left activist in lockstep with her party’s mission of removing President Donald Trump from office at all costs.
But Pelosi is still reeling after her impeachment stunt ended with the president being acquitted by the Senate, and now she wants the president’s lawyers fired and disbarred.
The Speaker was responding to remarks made by Harvard Law professor and Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz.
“If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment,” he said.
That was followed by two more of the president’s attorneys who said that the articles of impeachment against Trump were not valid.
“The articles of impeachment violate the Constitution,” Jay Sekulow and Pat Cipollone said at the start of the trial. “They are defective in their entirety.”
Pelosi was not happy about these comments.
She praised her House imeachment managers who she said have given Americans a “magnificent example to follow” and have done so “in the face of the President’s team – is there to dismantle the Constitution of the United States. And some of them are even lawyers. Imagine that you would say, ever, of any President, no matter who he or she is or whatever party, if the President thinks that his or her Presidency – in this case, his Presidency – is good for the country, then any action is justified, including – including – encouraging a foreign government to have an impact on our elections, which is exactly what our Founders were opposed to and they feared“
And those of you who remember Longfellow’s poem know that in there he says: ‘The English are coming, the English are coming,’ we’ll let you know, ‘one if by land, two if by sea.’ In this case, the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming, and the President has led a clear path for them to interfere once again in our elections, as they are currently doing,” she said.
“The President seems to be emulating a French king who said, ‘L’etat, c’est moi.’ ‘The state, it’s me.’ No. Article II does not say you can do whatever you want. The Constitution does not say that. But these, but these, I don’t know how they can retain their lawyer status in the comments that they are making,” she said.
Of course, the GOP-controlled Senate voted to acquit Trump on both articles of impeachment.
Pelosi has even accused Trump of being on drugs during his State of the Union address.
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz also filed an ethics complaint against Pelosi, claiming she may have violated rules by tearing up an “official government document.”
