Evidence Showing Pelosi Must Recuse Herself On Impeachment
Have you wondered why Speaker Pelosi took impeachment "off" the table? She made this decision before conducting any fact finding. Or, so she wants us to believe.
The (apparent) truth is surprising. Information has been developed, and forwarded to Congressman Conyers, strongly suggesting Pelosi knows far more than she's admitting.
This week, Professor Turley accused the Congress of collusion. There's aparently some substance to this allegation.
Apparently, Pelosi was involved with policy making decisions on torture and NSA surveillance. We've also learned Harman knew some things, but didn't say something.
David writes, implicitly suggesting Pelosi must recuse herself:


Pelosi's criminal participation and duties can be defined even more clearly, since she participated in discussions of both warrantless surveillance and torture -- Articles 24 and 18 of the Impeachment case.


Said another way, either Pelosi recuses herself and makes way for an impeachment investigation -- which may implicate her as an alleged co-conspirator; or the House must remove Pelosi as Speaker for her alleged ethics breaches and refusal to permit the House to enforce the laws of war through impeachment.

David: "I actually spoke with Chairman Conyers about this today, and he said he understood it and admitted Pelosi's involvement in warrantless surveillance."

This may explain the reluctance of the lawyers to support either impeachment of Bush; or removal of Pelosi: Their lawyers are connected to both.

3. The top Dem leadership won't entertain impeachment until after a war with Iran has begun.
At that point, though, the US economy will already be suffering massive oil price shocks if or when Iran tries to shut down the Hormuz Strait, and the US economy will start contracting violently with the price spikes. Lots of people will too busy starving to care at that point, and the world will abandon the US, perhaps for the better.

It is akin to saying you'll defend your home after the intruder has murdered your wife and kids.
