尽管越来越担心民主党,佩洛西不会发表弹劾文章

2020-01-10 10:31   美国新闻网   - 

随着国会越来越多的民主党人因为南希·佩洛西拒绝将弹劾条款交给参议院进行审判而开始与她分道扬镳,众议院议长周四深入阐述了她的立场,称她将继续保留这些条款,直到她看到审判规则的细节。

“我们需要看到我们派出经理的舞台。这要求太多了吗?”这位加州民主党人在每周新闻发布会上告诉记者。

尽管越来越多的民主党人表示现在是时候了,但她仍然拒绝提名弹劾经理并将文章移交上院。参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔(R-KY)表示,他有投票权通过审判规则,这些规则反映了对前总统比尔·克林顿的弹劾审判,削弱了佩洛西在参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默(Chuck Schumer)试图与麦康奈尔达成传唤文件和证人协议时所保持的任何影响力。

司法委员会的高级成员黛安娜·范斯坦参议员说:“时间越长,事情就越不紧急。”政客。“那么,如果情况严重而紧急,就送他们过来。如果不是,就不要送过来。”

本周早些时候,帕特里克·墨菲参议员告诉记者新闻周刊,"我认为没有太多理由进一步拖延。"

总共有超过六名民主党参议员本周公开主张发布这些文章,其中包括温和的民主党人乔·曼钦;道格·琼斯也是一个温和和脆弱的成员;理查德·布卢门塔尔;乔恩测试仪;克里斯·孔斯。

武装部队委员会主席亚当·史密斯(民主党-西澳大利亚州众议员)同意他在参议院的同事的意见,星期四告诉美国有线电视新闻网,“归根结底...米奇·麦康奈尔在参议院控制着它。”

史密斯和范斯坦后来收回了他们的话。史密斯在推特上写道,他“说错了”,而范斯坦却告诉了政客她的评论“被误解了”

史密斯阐述道:“如果议长认为长期坚持这些条款将有助于迫使参议院进行公平审判,那么我全心全意地支持这一决定。”。

麦康奈尔抓住了民主党内部日益增长的异议,在周四上午的一次发言中,他大声说出了许多民主党人的名字,这些民主党人拒绝了佩洛西,称是时候进行审判了。他指责议长将弹劾视为“政治玩具”。

麦康奈尔说:“在参议院就任何议题达成两党一致都是一个具有挑战性的时刻,但众议院议长已经成功做到了不可能做到的事情。”。"她在参议院创造了这种日益增长的两党团结,反对她自己鲁莽的行为。"

众议院少数党领袖凯文·麦卡锡也嘲笑佩洛西,质疑她如何能“板着脸”将“规定”强加给参议院

“我不确定她是因为正在做的工作感到尴尬,还是因为事情紧急而对我们撒谎,”他补充道。

佩洛西坚持她先前声明的立场,即在麦康奈尔公布概述审判规则的决议之前,她将坚持自己的立场。她引用了众议院通过这些条款后几周出现的新的揭露和证据,如前国家安全顾问约翰博尔顿表示愿意在参议院的审判中作证,以及高级政府官员之间的电子邮件,这些邮件质疑扣留对乌克兰的外国军事援助的合法性。

麦康奈尔拒绝与舒默达成协议,传唤前官员的文件和证词,包括博尔顿和代理白宫办公厅主任米克·马尔瓦尼。相反,他主张以参议院为克林顿所做的同样方式前进,这将需要在决定是否传唤证人之前听取弹劾经理和总统捍卫者的意见。

“这与希拉里完全不同,[·麦康奈尔不会就如何推进达成两党一致...佩洛西说:“我不对米奇·麦康奈尔或其他任何人负责,除了我的成员和在这方面努力工作的人。”。

“不,我不会无限期地把文章留给[,”她继续说道。"当我准备好的时候,我会把它们送过去,那可能很快就要到了。"

PELOSI STILL WON'T RELEASE IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES DESPITE GROWING ANGST AMONG DEMOCRATS

As more Democrats across Capitol Hill begin to break by the day with Nancy Pelosi over her refusal to relinquish the articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial, the House speaker dug into her position Thursday, saying she'll continue to withhold the articles until she sees the details for trial rules.

"We need to see the arena in which we are sending our managers. Is that too much to ask?" the California Democrat told reporters at her weekly press conference.

Her continued refusal to name impeachment managers and transfer the articles to the upper chamber is despite a growing number of Democrats stating it is time to do so. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has said he has the votes to pass trial rules that mirror the impeachment trial of former President Bill Clinton, diminishing any leverage that Pelosi maintained as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) attempted to strike a deal with McConnell for subpoenaing documents and witnesses.

"The longer it goes on, the less urgent it becomes," Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, told Politico. "So, if it's serious and urgent, send them over. If it isn't, don't send it over."

Earlier in the week, Sen. Patrick Murphy (D-CT) told Newsweek, "I don't think there's much reason for further delay."

In total, more than a half-dozen Democratic senators this week have spoken out advocating to release the articles, including Joe Manchin (D-WV), a moderate Democrat; Doug Jones (D-AL), also a moderate and vulnerable member; Richard Blumenthal (D-CT); Jon Tester (D-MT); and Chris Coons (D-DE).

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, concurred with his colleagues in the Senate, telling CNN Thursday that "at the end of the day... Mitch McConnell controls it in the Senate."

Smith and Feinstein later walked back their remarks. Smith wrote in a tweet that he "misspoke" while Feinstein told Politico her comments "have been misunderstood."

"If the Speaker believes that holding on to the articles for a longer time will help force a fair trial in the Senate, then I wholeheartedly support that decision," Smith elaborated.

Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) listens during an event at the Rayburn Room of the U.S. Capitol December 19, 2019, in Washington, D.C.

McConnell seized on the growing dissent within the Democratic Party, rattling off during a floor speech Thursday morning the names of numerous Democrats who've rebuffed Pelosi by saying it's time to hold a trial. He accused the speaker of treating impeachment like a "political toy."

"This is a challenging time to create bipartisan agreement in the Senate on any subject, but the Speaker of the House has managed to do the impossible," McConnell said. "She's created this growing bipartisan unity here in the Senate in opposition to her own reckless behavior."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also ridiculed Pelosi, questioning how she could try to "impose" stipulations on the Senate "with a straight face."

"I'm not sure if she's embarrassed by the work being done or she was lying to us about it being urgent," he added.

Pelosi maintained her previously stated position that until McConnell publishes a resolution outlining the trial rules, she'll hold her ground. She cited new revelations and evidence that's surfaced in the weeks since the House passed the articles, such as former national security adviser John Bolton stating his willingness to testify in a Senate trial and emails between top administration officials that questioned the legality in withholding foreign military aid to Ukraine.

McConnell has refused to strike a deal with Schumer to subpoena documents and testimony from former officials, including Bolton and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. Rather, he's advocated to move forward in the same fashion as the Senate did for Clinton, which would entail hearing arguments from impeachment managers and defenders of the president before determining whether to summon witnesses.

"It's exactly not like Clinton, and [McConnell] won't do a bipartisan agreement on how to proceed... I'm not responsible to Mitch McConnell or anybody else except my members and the people who have worked so hard on this," Pelosi said.

"No, I'm not going to hold [the articles] indefinitely," she continued. "I'll send them over when I'm ready and that will probably be soon."
