David Jolly Praises Pelosi for Withholding Impeachment Articles: ‘Let’s Give Her Credit’

‘Nancy Pelosi has done is recorded for history that the Senate Republicans have said they don’t plan to have a fair trial’

EXCERPT:

JOLLY: "I think Nancy Pelosi got to her members because she probably has a plan, as we know from looking at Nancy Pelosi’s past actions. And look, there are two options for Nancy Pelosi. One is to go big and keep holding the articles but you have to own that narrative and I think it’s bigger than the issue of whether the Senate will have witnesses. It’s the fatal statement of Mitch McConnell that he does not intend to be an impartial juror. If House Democrats and Nancy Pelosi really want to bring that to light or even suggest maybe there’s additional investigating that the House wants to subpoena John Bolton, you can go big and continue to withhold articles indefinitely. But without doing that, I do think particularly the comment by Senator Feinstein has made it harder for Nancy Pelosi to hold onto these. But let’s give her credit because what has happened in the three weeks or so she has held onto them, the nation’s attention has been brought to the point to realize that Mitch McConnell said he won’t be impartial. He said he doesn’t want witnesses and then Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham said, no, we’re not going to have witnesses. What Nancy Pelosi has done has recorded for history that the Senate Republicans have said they don’t plan to have a fair trial. And it’s important that becomes part of the record. That is part of the record because of Nancy Pelosi’s decision to withhold."
