Leader McCarthy Notes Some Context About Pelosi's Impeachment Timeline

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided to announce the impeachment inquiry against President Trump on September 24, the day he delivered his third speech before the UN General Assembly. The Democrats held their "bombshell" hearing featuring liberal law professors who on the day Trump was at a significant NATO summit on its 70th anniversary. Then, on Wednesday, a few hours before Trump announced Phase One of his historic trade deal with China, Pelosi introduced the seven Democratic managers who would lead the impeachment trial next week. She later signed the articles of impeachment with her signature pens and a smile on her face.

Quite the contrast ?

After Thursday, we can add another interesting bit of timing. The impeachment managers formally presented the articles to the Senate just as the chamber voted to pass USMCA, the new North American trade deal. It's "a monumental victory" for the Trump administration, according to Job Creators Network Alfredo Ortiz.

McCarthy and other Republicans can only conclude that the Democrats' are proceeding on impeachment in order to derail Trump's re-election. Of course Pelosi will tell you they're just doing their "constitutional duty."
