It just occurred to me what Nancy Pelosi's real game plan is: for Donald Trump to end up in jail as soon as possible.
She has been focusing 100% on winning the 2020 elections, and having another Blue Wave like we had in 2018.
When that happens, we'll not only keep the House but also get the Presidency (maybe the Senate but not likely).
She knows that as soon as Trump is no longer president he can be indicted and arrested and put on trial and be convicted and END UP IN JAIL.
So it's very simple: she is thinking about that one thing only: beating Trump in 2020.
Everything she says and does is for the purpose of achieving this one goal.
Not only will it save our democracy, but it also is the fastest way for Donald Trump to FINALLY pay the price for all of his crimes and evil misdeeds and go to prison, where he truly belongs.

I really hope, in my lifetime, should I lose my damn mind and do something (or a string of somethings), as horrible as don trump, that the law enforcement figures around me, give me as much leeway as the trump family has been given. I have a feeling that if i was trump, I'd be starting my second year in prison somewhere.

(17,276 posts)Jail seems like a temporary holding pen for people, as in a courthouse. Prison is a long term place to put criminals.

(115,681 posts)Even assuming he's voted out of office and indictable, and would not be pardoned by a Dem president (at least I hope not!), it will be decided somehow that it would be "too divisive" to send a former president to the pokey. I could imagine some kind of plea deal involving asset forfeiture but I just don't see him going to prison, although I'd love to see it happen.

(15,751 posts)lesson, it seems less likely to have that Watergate 'heal the nation' bs fly again - especially since traitortrump is so much worse than Nixon, nd has aggravated so much more, and more deeply.
However, despite all those considerations, I wouldn't be surprised is somehow the traitor does manage to . . .

Where's the faction that made all THAT happen, when the country really DOES need them?
Terrible to even have to think about. We didn't ask for trump though.

Beat him, and beat him and GOers, badly. Then, move on.
