Pelosi Lies About Court Fight On Impeachment Witnesses

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said publically that Democrats are “fighting in court” to force impeachment witnesses who defied congressional subpoenas related to Ukraine to testify, but the Washington Examiner, and other news outlets thus far, cannot find any court cases against the four key figures that back up her statements.

Pelosi made the misleading claim in an ABC interview Sunday in response to comments made by Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, saying that “the House chose not to go to court to enforce its subpoenas, so there are gaps in what the House has sent us.” When shown a clip of that statement on the show, Pelosi said, “That isn’t even true. We are in court on the witnesses. It could take a very long time.”

But no Ukraine controversy figures, including none of the four impeachment trial witnesses requested by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former Mulvaney senior adviser Robert Blair, Office of Management and Budget official Mike Duffey, and former national security adviser John Bolton — have been brought to court by Democrats to enforce the subpoenas they ignored, and Bolton was never subpoenaed at all.

President Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani also refused to comply with congressional subpoenas, and Democrats said they didn’t need his testimony to make their case and moved ahead with impeachment without it.

In fact, the only two high-profile appeals court cases being pursued by Democrats are related to grand jury material from special counsel Robert Mueller’s two-year Trump-Russia investigation and the desire to push former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify about events within Mueller’s report such as allegations of obstruction of justice.

One of the two articles of impeachment approved by the Democrats relates to Trump’s alleged obstruction of Congress. Thus far, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has not granted any Democratic witness requests. Pelosi has been holding onto the articles of impeachment for weeks but is expected to send them over to the Senate soon.

When asked by ABC Host, George Stephanopoulos, to clarify her statement, and who was being taken to court, she doubled-down on her lies.

“Well, but, on the other witnesses, we have been in court,” Pelosi said. “And we haven’t eliminated the possibility of a subpoena going forward on Bolton, but he has said in this two-week period — as another piece of progress that we made — that he would respond to a subpoena from the United States Senate.”

But, again, no records of any such court filings exist. In fact, Democrats went as far as to withdraw the subpoena they’d issued against Bolton deputy, Charles Kupperman, when he asked the courts to decide whether he should comply with the congressional subpoena or with Trump’s instruction not to appear, and Democrats and the DOJ successfully convinced the judge to dismiss the case as moot.

  1. Pelosi has no leg to stand on. She is always drunk or having tia’s when speaking. Something is very wrong with her. She is such a liar.

  2. If Pelosi Opens Her False Toothed Mouth……. She Probably is Lying ….. Maybe Poly Grip and reading the Bible~

  3. Pelosi lying about court fights to subpoena witnesses doesn’t surprise me. Most if not all Democrats are lying to the American people and especially about what President Trump has done that warrants impeachment which it does not. The President is not hiding anything. The Dems are trying to hide their corrupt ways by accusing Trump with things he did not do.

  4. She’s so full of shit!!! She needs to be deported. She doesn’t deserve to live here for what she alone e has put our President through!

  5. I listened to Schumer yesterday and he said only Americans should select a President. Someone needs to point this out to him to bring froth the need for voter ID. In all states and at registration. Very important to this country. Democrats fail big time.

  6. Looks like this is ramping up to be a real snooze fest. Talk about moot, Nancy is in fantasy land and her lawyer dream team are empty seats.

  7. I am so disgusted & fed up withis this hate filled group of loons. President Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave. They have absolutely destroyed the Democratic party & many are leaving just as I have. We are ashamed to be associated with the party & it all started with Obama. Hope you are all proud of yourselves. By the way Nancy you should actually open a Bible & read it before using your faith ( is obvious you really don’t have any ) as away to justify your hatred for our president.

  8. Looks like the Left thinks if they lie long enough
    that they will be believed. Not a chance. The
    has proven they cannot be trusted.

  10. MORE BULLSHIT LIES FROM NASTY NAN AND THE DEMOCRAPS. WHEN THE IMPEACHMENT REACHES THE SENATE, THEY SHOUD DISMISS THE CASE AND TELL THE DEMOCRAPS TO POUND SAND. GET OUT AND VOTE GOP IN 2020, AND SEND THE DEMS/LIBS/COMMIES PACKING

  16. She gets caught in so many lies yet nothing ever happens to her. These democrats need to start paying attention. They’re lying to the public because they know they have nothing of any substance but trying to make it look like it’s the republicans who are fighting everything.

  17. I don’t believe a word this woman said much less anything she said about this crap she has pushed on us for three years! TWe I’ve for to give up her jod to someone who will work for America and all Americans to make the country is a better place . Tied of her assault on a President who is worked for us and not against us! Don’t tell the Senate what to do your doing a lousy job as a representative! You made your millions on us so go home and spend them and leave the business to people who really care!

  18. What else is new … lIke we didn’t know she’s a lier . Right from the beginning she said she’s going to take trump down one way or the other . Since trump go’s by the law and she doesn’t … she has to lie about everything. What I don’t get is… why is she still in office . As dirty as she is and the hole left wing nuts are .. how can our government run at all . When is ebough .. enough our laws don’t protect us anymore . So why do we vote ? The left wing nuts do anything they want and they twist our laws to help them break more laws . They even have our cops in their back pockets protecting them . How do we win ? We as a country lost our will to fight for what’s right . God help us with our grandkids kids . Their screwed

  19. The Democrats cannot simply accept defeat. When Hillary lost, that should be the end of it. Wait for the next election. It’s 10 months away. DT is doing a great job.

  20. A terrible waste of our tax dollars. Lies, lies lies. This just shows the radical left will do anything to push their agenda. Screw everyone else. A very dangerous selfish group.

  21. Pelosi lies every time she opens her drunken mouth. Schiff and Nadler lie every time they speak. Most of the Democrats just parrot what Pelosi says – all liars. This should tell you how bad this looks to all Americans seeing and listening to this fake impeachment just angers all Republicans and most independents out there in all states except CA and New York. This needs to be shut down and the articles of impeachment should be filed against Pelosi. She is abusing her speakership with all the lies. This is costing all of us a fortune to put on this ridiculous scam. This is a sad state we are in and we should all be fighting mad.

  22. I don’t know about you all, but every time Nancy Pelosi talks(and I use the word loosely) I do not understand what on earth she is trying to say. I back it up and try to listen carefully, but no luck. Her title as “Speaker” of the house is way off!! She jumbles all her words. She needs to give up her day job!!
