Trump misquotes Pelosi, via beloved Fox screech owl Pirro, to suit his impeachment defense agenda.

“Nancy Pelosi said, it’s not a question of proof, it’s a question of allegations! Oh really?” @JudgeJeanine @FoxNews What a disgrace this Impeachment Scam is for our great Country!

THE ACTUAL PELOSI REMARKS:
Q: Madam Speaker, what is your response to Senate Republicans who say they shouldn't have to consider new evidence like the Parnas material because it wasn't included in the House investigation?
Speaker Pelosi. No, it’s – they’re afraid of the truth. The American people have seen the allegations, and they’re allegations. We need to see more evidence that would be contained in the documentation. So, this is just another avoiding of the facts and the truth on their part. They don't want to see documents. They don't want to hear from eyewitnesses. They don't want to – they want to ignore anything new that comes up.
We saw a strong case, an infallible, undeniable case for the impeachment of the President, so no future president would ever think she or he could get away with what President Trump has been getting away with in his view. Any further evidence should not be avoided and now it is in the – the ball is in the court of the Senate.
Public opinion will have a lot to do with this. Since we passed ours and sent it over, public opinion has grown enormously for seeing witnesses, eyewitnesses and documentation and they'll just have to contend with the public on that.
