Liz Peek: Pelosi impeachment stunt could boost Biden but infuriate Bernie's army
 

Nancy Pelosi’s latest political stunt could prove to be her most divisive yet – not pitting Republicans against Democrats as her impeachment drive has done -- but dividing her own party instead.

Kevin McCarthy suggested to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo recently that House Speaker Pelosi was perhaps holding up delivering the articles of impeachment to the Senate in order to help out Joe Biden.

 

The House minority leader’s theory is that by delaying the start of the Senate trial, Pelosi will effectively bench two of Biden’s most formidable rivals – Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren – during the run-up to the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3 and the New Hampshire primary that follows on Feb. 11. That could give the former VP a much-needed boost.

Can't put it past them after the last election.

No doubt.  I see commercials for Samatha Bee all the time touting the Democrats unrigged primary.  Who knows for sure?

Not sure that Pelosi specifically planned it, but elements of the party are determined to sabotage Bernie's campaign if it appears that he has a chance.

 

Self-sabotage mention:  James O'Keefe of Project Veritas has recorded one of Bernie's campaign lieutenants promising that "Milwaukee will burn" if Bernie isn't the nominee.  There are apparently multiple sound-bites.  Search for it.

 

Edited to add:  Aha --

Wonder if anyone will hit him with it during the debate?

Even more eyes on Bernie's campaign this time around, people are already highly suspicious of how well he took the DNC-Hillary partnered sabotage in 2016.

 

You have here a possible plant in his campaign, though I don't doubt their authentic ability to be crazy like this, moreover, Pelosi trying to use impeachment to interfere in an election, both her own party's election and the general election. Funny, because that's what Trump is accused of.

I think I posted this before, but it is relevant to this discussion as well.

This is one of the above-the-fold instances when I might have been microscopically wrong about anything, see man:
