Rob Reiner claims Nancy Pelosi will ensure “a fair Senate impeachment trial.” The Hollywood leftist also claimed, “Republicans are seeing what a real leader looks like. And they’d be wise not to mess with Speaker Pelosi.” Well, poor Rob got a big reality check and was left looking like an utter fool. You’ll love this.
Rob Reiner must have missed his high school civics class.
The actor best known for playing “Meathead” sounded off on Twitter yesterday, making wild claims about Nancy Pelosi’s power and her leadership skills. Reiner claims that Pelosi — who does not hold any authority in the U.S. Senate — will ensure that the Senate will hold a fair trial on the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
The rabidly anti-Trump actor/director praised Pelosi on social media Thursday, saying that she will allow the “truth” to emerge — sometime after the House passed two articles of impeachment.
“Republicans are seeing what a real leader looks like,” Reiner wrote. “And they’d be wise not to mess with Speaker Pelosi. She will insure [sic] a fair Senate trial. She will insure [sic] the public sees that this President has committed Abuse of Power & Obstruction of Congress. She will insure [sic] the truth.”

Pelosi has no official jurisdiction in the Senate, where Majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is expected to spearhead the trial process. The Democrat leader is attempting to exert her power anyway, threatening to stonewall the Senate by withholding the articles of impeachment for an indefinite period.
She recently admitted that the impeachment process started just after President Trump took office.
“It’s been going on 22 months—two and a half years, actually,” she said this month at Politico’s Women Rule Summit in Washington, D.C.
Making matters worse for both Pelosi and Reiner, the Speaker’s own attorney, Noah Feldman, who testified for the Democrats during the impeachment hearings, wrote an op-ed on Friday. Feldman wants the Democrats to know that unless they transmit the articles of impeachment to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the Senate, the impeachment will not be valid.
“If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president. If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all,” Feldman writes.
“That’s because ‘impeachment’ under the Constitution means the House sending its approved articles of to the Senate, with House managers standing up in the Senate and saying the president is impeached,” Feldman adds.
Not only does Nancy Pelosi have zero power in the Senate, but she also needs to transmit the articles of impeachment to McConnell, or it’s all for nothing. Rob Reiner’s head must be spinning.
Americans made sure the Hollywood Trump-hater got that message on social media.

“Meathead! The Senate has no constitutional mandate to continue the House investigation, which was concluded last night. The Senate is a jury that reviews the articles and makes a verdict. Have you known a jury to independently investigate a court case?” tweeted Thomas Lane.

Either Nancy sends the articles to the Senate on Mitch McConnell’s terms or…there was no impeachment. That’s as real as it gets.
“This should make President Trump, who’s still fuming about the whole thing, a very happy man, indeed. By all means, Nance, keep our president happy and refuse to ship that thing that is, in any case, going to crash like the Hindenburg, to the Senate. Makes no difference to us, you clowns — we’re still planning on voting for him, but if it makes him happy, we’re happy,” American Thinker reports.
Rob Reiner proves with this one tweet why no American should ever listen to the Hollywood crowd. For “Meathead” to believe Pelosi has any power in the Senate or has any say at this point, is just plain ignorance. Those elitists see Trump supporters as “smelly Walmart shoppers,” who are uneducated, clinging to our “God and our guns.”
The truth is We the People are pretty damn smart, and we will re-elect Donald Trump in 2020, and with all their millions there is not a darn thing they can do to stop us. Pelosi and her buddies in the Hollywood crowd have no power, the true power rests with the American people.
