Speaker Pelosi just laid out the roadmap to impeachment.

'“The stronger our case is,” Speaker Pelosi said, explaining why the House needs more evidence through ongoing court cases before entertaining a resolution for an impeachment inquiry, “the worse the Senate will look for letting the President off the hook.” Note, that she didn’t say “may look” or “could look,” but “will look.”

Pelosi’s final remarks at the press conference (embedded below) are where she left the most obvious breadcrumbs about what is to follow:

“We want to have the strongest possible case, to make a decision as to what path we will go down, and that is not endless terms of time, or endless in terms of the information we want.”

“But if it comes to a point where the ‘cone of silence’ and the obstruction of justice and the cover-up in the White House prevents us from getting that information, that will not prevent us from going forward.”'

Neither was his key lieutenant Kellyanne Conway's sweaty snarling press conference last week in front of the EOB:

These are awful people in every possible way.

Max says, "Chief, I DEMAND the Cone of Silence! Forcefully!

Plus the guy who played Max was a better actor and their agent 99 was hotter too.

I hope she is already telling us everything she can. Does she know something else will come out soon, or just hoping?

I admit, I'm confused.

Also. Can anyone tell me where to find the little emoji for being confused?

Republicans have rolled over to the point our democracy is at serious risk. It's beyond any Repug duty. Pence is close to a nightmare, but Trump is Armageddon.
