Representative Bradley Byrne is preparing a resolution calling for the censuring of Nancy Pelosi for obstruction for refusing to turn over the impeachment articles to the Senate.
There is no way it will pass since the Democrats hold the majority, but it will be interesting nonetheless.
Even Democrats are beginning to turn on her for holding up the impeachment process.
The resolution will be offered up today, but look for the Democrats to block it, but it could come up again in 2021 when the Republicans win back the House.
They should expel Adam Schiff for all of his illegal activities during the impeachment process.
Byrne said:
“Speaker Pelosi’s decision to hold the articles of impeachment against President Trump in a pathetic and unconstitutional attempt to extract concessions from the Senate is an unprecedented abuse of power.
…
House Democrats made the misguided decision to rush through the most legally unsound and factually unsupported articles of impeachment in the history of this country, and they can’t now insist that the Senate fix their shoddy, incomplete work.”
The move comes as Pelosi is holding up the articles in an effort to push the Senate to adopt rules seen as favorable to Democrats for the impeachment trial. In particular, the speaker was rumored to be holding out for an agreement by McConnell to have former National Security Adviser John Bolton testify. The Senate GOP, for its part, seems to not be buying the ruse, with McConnell announcing on Wednesday his caucus would remain united in the face of Pelosi’s tactics.
It is unclear if Byrne’s resolution will receive bipartisan support in the House, especially as a number of high-profile Democrats have already signaled that Pelosi’s stalling effort on impeachment is wearing thin.
“If we’re going to do it, she should send them over,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Thursday. “I don’t see what good delay does.”
