As you all know, Nancy Pelosi is set to be the new Speaker of the House.
The Today Show interviewed her this morning where she indicated that she believes Trump COULD be indicated by Mueller, despite the DOJ guidance proclaiming that a sitting president cannot be indicted:
Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she wouldn’t rule out President Trump being indicted while in office, describing the topic as “an open discussion.”
During an exclusive interview with TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie, the House Democratic leader said it’s possible that special counsel Robert Mueller could seek an indictment against the sitting president, despite Justice Department guidelines against such action.
“I do not think that that is conclusive,” Pelosi said about the guidance.
“I think that that is an open discussion. I think that is an open discussion in terms of the law,” she said, on the eve of reclaiming her former title as speaker of the House….
On impeachment…
Although Democrats have discussed the idea of impeaching the president, Pelosi said it would not benefit the country to pursue one. But she wouldn’t rule the idea out either.
“We have to wait and see what happens with the Mueller report. We shouldn’t be impeaching for a political reason, and we shouldn’t avoid impeachment for a political reason. So we’ll just have to see how it comes,” she said.
Nancy Pelosi is a disgusting human being. She’s been cheering for Trump’s impeachment since February 2017, just a month after he sat down in the Oval Office. So it’s not shocking in the least that she’d want Mueller to ignore DOJ guidance and indict Trump.
But what makes her comments so ridiculous is that there’s been no indication from Mueller whatsoever that Trump has even done anything wrong. Nothing. But Nancy holds out hope that Mueller’s final report will reveal something….anything she can use as a ‘legitimate’ excuse to impeach Trump in the House. That’s why she won’t rule it out.
