Great headline?
Pelosi saying the above, even in private may make the red meat Progressives happy…
(Her comment was off the cuff….America doesn’t put its President’s in prison)
Nadler carrying the water for the short game impeachment idea is also stupid…
He know’s , as does Pelosi that Republicans WANT Democrats to vote to impeach so they can make the investigations go away with a quick acquittal in the Senate, which would most likely make Democrats the best reason Donald Trump gets a second term…
Seriously?
Some Democrats just KEEP rushing to screw themselves since 2010….
They are trying to out do themselves right now…
Pelosi does have her hands full….
Speaker Nancy Pelosi told senior Democrats that she’d like to see President Donald Trump “in prison” as she clashed with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler in a meeting on Tuesday night over whether to launch impeachment proceedings.
Pelosi met with Nadler (D-N.Y.) and several other top Democrats who are aggressively pursuing investigations against the president, according to multiple sources. Nadler and other committee leaders have been embroiled in a behind-the-scenes turf battle for weeks over ownership of the Democrats’ sprawling investigation into Trump.
Nadler pressed Pelosi to allow his committee to launch an impeachment inquiry against Trump — the second such request he’s made in recent weeks only to be rebuffed by the California Democrat and other senior leaders. Pelosi stood firm, reiterating that she isn’t open to the idea of impeaching Trump at this time.
“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Pelosi said, according to multiple Democratic sources familiar with the meeting. Instead of impeachment, Pelosi still prefers to see Trump defeated at the ballot box and then prosecuted for his alleged crimes, according to the sources.
They said she was expressing solidarity with pro-impeachment Democrats who want to hold the president accountable while disputing the idea that it is now time to take that step. Pelosi has long argued that certain conditions must be met before Democrats begin impeachment — public support and strong bipartisan backing, neither of which have so far materialized.
Other Democrats said Pelosi’s comment wasn’t that surprising given her previous criticisms of the president, including saying Trump “is engaged in a cover-up,” that his staff and family should stage an intervention and that the president’s actions “are villainous to the Constitution of the United States.”
Ashley Etienne, a Pelosi spokeswoman said Pelosi and the chairmen “had a productive meeting about the state of play with the Mueller report. They agreed to keep all options on the table and continue to move forward with an aggressive hearing and legislative strategy, as early as next week, to address the president’s corruption and abuses of power uncovered in the report.”….

Lock him up !
We ALL KNOW America doesn’t put it’s President’s in jail….
Comes with the job….
Hmmmm?
Fox News’s Sean Hannity is incensed — incensed, I tell you — that a leading American politician would call for putting her political opponent in jail. After it was reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told colleagues that she wanted to see President Trump “in prison,” Hannity lit into her Thursday night.
“Based on no actual crimes, she wants a political opponent locked up in prison,” Hannity fumed. “Um, that happens in banana republics. Beyond despicable behavior. And, by the way, they would literally turn, in many ways, the USA into a country that we would no longer recognize.”
It didn’t take long for critics to note the hypocrisy here. Trump, after all, turned “lock her up” into a rallying cry during the 2016 campaign. And we recently found out from the report by former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that Trump has attempted on multiple occasions to get the Justice Department to reopen its investigation of Hillary Clinton….
