Fake news brings you fake impeachment       Fake news brings you fake impeachment

Pelosi un-impeaches Prez

Why the stall? Is Deep Swamp readying 'bombshell' to justify a 3d charge?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by indefinitely sidetracking the Democrats' articles of impeachment, is nullifying impeachment, according to one legal scholar who testified on behalf of the Democrats.
"If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president. If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all," wrote Noah Feldman, a professor of law at Harvard University. A short delay is understandable, but an indefinite shelving of the articles is another matter, he said.
"As for the headlines we saw after the House vote saying, “TRUMP IMPEACHED,” those are a media shorthand, not a technically correct legal statement," Feldman said. "So far, the House has voted to impeach (future tense) Trump. He isn’t impeached (past tense) until the articles go to the Senate and the House members deliver the message."

Feldman's argument

It is possible that Pelosi got a "hold-up" order from the Deep Swamp as security honchos realized the two articles of impeachment wouldn't achieve their objective of overthrowing Trump and derailing John Durham's criminal investigation of big-time swamp rats.
In that scenario, they are busy cooking up some "bombshell" or other that they can feed to their media errand boys and girls, thus sparking the House to add another article of impeachment. Presumably the postulated third article would be sufficient to get the Senate to tell Trump "scram," and all would be well in the Swamp's serpentine corridors of power.
