While Whistlegate continues to brew inside the cauldrons of the mainstream media and DNC-funded Resistance organizations the world over, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took a stroll down to the local National Progressive Radio (NPR) studios to answer criticism of her job as Speaker. The latest pre-fabricated bombshell of Whistlegate is still in its infancy, but has already shown cracks in its Styrofoam armor as it appears that the very person named as the secret phone monitor was actually relying upon third or fourth-person hearsay and didn’t actually hear the president’s conversation with the Ukrainian president at all. This information regarding the manufactured hysteria of the media can be found here: Whistlegate Hysteria Picks Up As Media Desperately Seeks Relevance. That news also comes on the heels that Senator Lindsey Graham is calling for a full investigation of the Biden connection with the Ukraine, as well as an announcement by Devin Nunes of the House Intel Committee claiming that he believes this issue will in fact force Joe Biden to withdraw from the Democratic 2020 campaign.
Pelosi, in an effort to ensure that the focus of the NPR audience is not on the “man behind the curtain,” but rather the Oval Office Orange Ogre has pivoted to another subject matter…one that seeks to pass legislation which will enable Congress to indict Donald Trump while he is still in office.

In an exclusive interview with NPR, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has not changed her mind on pursuing impeachment but is ready to change the law to restrain presidential power and make it clear that a sitting president can, in fact, be indicted.
“I do think that we will have to pass some laws that will have clarity for future presidents. [A] president should be indicted, if he’s committed a wrongdoing — any president. There is nothing anyplace that says the president should not be indicted,” Pelosi told All Things Considered host Ari Shapiro and NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis on Friday. “That’s something cooked up by the president’s lawyers. That’s what that is. But so that people will feel ‘OK, well, if he — if he does something wrong, [he] should be able to be indicted.’ ”
The California Democrat said that while it is Justice Department protocol not to pursue any charges against an incumbent — the reason former special counsel Robert Mueller said he couldn’t charge President Trump with a crime no matter the outcome of his report — that should be changed.
The Founders could never suspect that a president would be so abusive of the Constitution of the United States, that the separation of powers would be irrelevant to him and that he would continue, any president would continue, to withhold facts from the Congress, which are part of the constitutional right of inquiry,” Pelosi said.
The constitutional recourse for a lawbreaking president per the Constitution is impeachment. Article II, Section 4 instructs that the president “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Pelosi was speaking to a very sympathetic audience and she found one. Over the course of the entire article, there were no compelling questions about the constitutionality of such a move, nor was there much interest in challenging Pelosi on the contents of the Biden backstory. Being a very shrewd politician for more years than many in the NPR audience have even been alive, Pelosi has become the mistress of the political pivot (Pelosi: I Am a ‘Target’ Because I Am a ‘Master Legislator,’ ‘Politically Astute Leader’). She has perfected the art of talking points and knows just how to elicit the DNC-media cherished sound bite.
When the Confederate statue furor was raging two years ago, Pelosi sensed blood in the water for the conservative movement and immediately dove into the fray, announcing that every single statue in the Capitol building should be torn down with all due haste: Pelosi Demands the Removal of All Confederate Statues in the Capitol.
This was really a reflection of her prior interview with CNN a couple of years ago when she was attempting to reassure the Moderates in the Democrat Party that while they were “looking” at impeachment, she wasn’t going to just fly off the handle and impeach Trump because she didn’t like him personally: Pelosi on CNN Discusses “Uh, Uh, Impeachment” Unlike the last time, however, where she was discussing this subject based on the Russia-Collusion hoax, this fawning interview on NPR was discussing the new Ukraine-Collusion hoax (or Whistlegate as we like to call it here).
When the smoke clears, though, we can rest assured that even after Whistlegate is laid to rest, another explosive bombshell will be detonated by the DNC-run Fake News Media and, like clockwork, the very “politically astute” leadership of Pelosi will be sure to benefit from the Soros-packaged turmoil.
