Originally published at: GRAHAM’S STAND: Graham Says Pelosi Committing ‘Constitutional Extortion’ by Delaying Impeachment | Sean Hannity
Senator Lindsey Graham slammed Speaker Pelosi’s decision to withhold Articles of Impeachment from the Senate Thursday; claiming the move is an effort to “extort” the Presidency.
“My concern is the precedent we are setting. The Constitution never envisioned the House being able to: Impeach the president. Dictate the terms of the trial in the Senate. And hold the Articles of Impeachment back to be released at a time of their choosing. It creates a constitutional extortion mechanism that is dangerous for the country,” posted the Senator.
What is driving this crazy idea?
Democrats have finally realized they have a very WEAK case which NEVER should have been brought forward to begin with.
