House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested to CBS News’ Margaret Brennan on Sunday that President Donald Trump needs to prove that he is innocent in the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. This is contradictory to the U.S. criminal justice system, which is based on the presumption of innocence.
Pelosi, who made the remarks on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” made similar remarks last week while responding to a reporter’s question about the public believing that Democrats are “dead set” on impeaching Trump without looking at all the facts.
“It’s called an inquiry,” Pelosi said on Thursday. “And if the President has something that is exculpatory, Mr. President, that means you have anything that shows your innocence, then he should make that known and that’s part of the inquiry."

Typical of the struggling desperate Democrats, everything is bass akwards. Read a piece that Steve Bannon says Pelosi is a shrewd politician...is he about to be proved wrong?
ReplyDeleteYes, pelosi is a stupid politician
DeleteThen how come the people that have chosen to present the evidence that proves his innocent are prohibited from doing so.
ReplyDeleteSBJ
Didn't they already prevent the President from defending himself as part of their "rules"?
ReplyDeleteMy dislike for the Democrats is very rapidly turning into HATRED.
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteAnd this is the same woman that has allowed homelessness and crime to run abound in her district. Feces and urine run like rivers through the streets in San Francisco. Go home woman and fix your problems before you point your crooked witches finger at someone else... Disgusting...
ReplyDeleteYou can't prove a negative, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteLet the folks who can prove Trumps innocence testify, allow the documents to flow to prove it. This begins with Mr. Trump and his withholding of witnesses and documents. Why is he hiding?
ReplyDelete8:58- I see you're back with the CNN talking points. The whole inquiry is a sham! I wouldn't participate in their kangaroo court either. It would more legitimize the hearings, rather than being what it actually is. A farce. Does that answer your stupid question?
Deleteno it starts with the Democrats who are withholding and not letting the other side see the evidence. Im sure if you were accused you would want your attorney (by law) see what they have
DeleteIn addition, Nancy has said Trump needs to prove his innocence. This is how backwards it is. The fact is, Nancy needs to prove his guilt. This is America. That's how it works here. Is this communist China, Danny? No, this isn't communist China.
DeleteSalem Witch Hunt
DeleteWhat Pelosi describes is the process England uses (Presumption of guilt / prove innocence ), and that will never be allowed to fly
ReplyDeleteHere IS the way it is in America > One (anyone) IS
ReplyDeleteinnocent Until Proven Guilty , even Scum like her !!!

The left progressives are clear in their message as it was pre revolutionary days..
ReplyDelete. GET CHARGED AND HAVE TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE. ...
Bull crap.....and guess what progressives to include the Peace Alliance of the lower Shore....
You don't want another Revolution.....trust us on that
Pelosi makes impeachment even more of a "witch hunt" that it already is with those comments. Yes, that's what the puritans did to their "witch" victims. They would set them on fire, and if they didn't burn, they would be freed. Of course they burned, therefore they were guilty as charged. The so-called witches had to prove their innocence. I think Pelosi is the witch.
ReplyDeleteBurn pelosi
DeletePOTUS has already PROVEN he is innocent ENOUGH times
ReplyDelete4:20 ,...then one more time will not hurt. Come on , what is he hiding?
ReplyDelete2 wrongs don't make a right 904, you're an idiot
DeleteThe police do it at the time
ReplyDeleteGot news for Her > Not her call !!! Trump is Innocent !!!
ReplyDeleteDemocrats witnesses provided his innocence. Clearly Ukraine American bureaucrats believe the country is theirs to run. They absolutely hate Trumps agenda of NOT being the worlds police force. Pure egomaniacs and lack self awareness testimonies on feelings and presumption. The ambassador of the EU asked the Commander and Chief what he wanted from Ukraine he said NOTHING. OPEN AND SHUT.
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't need exculpatory evidence when no evidence of a crime or a charge of a crime exist.
ReplyDeleteTrump 2020 Wins By LANDSLIDE !!!
