Image: House Minority Leader grabs hurried lunch. Washington D.C. Aug 21. House Minority Leader Bertrabd Snell of New York, hurried his lunch in order not to miss the action on theHouse floor as 75th Congress prepares to adjourn Dan Henninger: @DanHenninger, @WSJOpinion; editorial board and Wonder Land column; in re: Mrs Pelosi’s impeachment: if she delivers it to McConnell before noon or Schumer after noon . . . Joe Biden plans billions in new spending. Pelosi is a child of political machines; she knows that even with the Sturm und Drang,it's all eventually settled by a new election—the question being: who turns out more voters? She’s a relentless fundraiser Has recently raised huge funds because of animosity toward Donald Trump. Her goal is to keep this agitation alive as long as possible, so impeachment is an effluent of that, “her bloodless strategy.” She’s also animated by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Chinese, Russians, North Koreans, must be calculation how much clout Biden has. Were he to pardon Trump, he’d be seen as the controlling figure. Mrs Pelosi and the Democrats have begun to overplay their hand. Some Senate GOP may argue that this is [unhealthy] and thereby gain more support. https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-nancy-pelosi-a-mad-genius-11610579537
