Interesting point brought up by El Rushbo - fair trial for WHO? Usually, the accused gets that. Just ask any illegal alien. She won't allow it? Ew. Bad optics.

Yeah even a lot of Democrats and others who don’t really care for Trump are going to start admitting that he’s getting the shaft here.

She wants a Stalinist show trial in the Senate and won’t allow it to go forward until Mitch McConnel and the Republicans guarantee a guilty verdict right up front.

Rush reviewed the whole situation and then concluded that until Pelosi is certain of a conviction in the Senate she will not name the managers and submit the impeachment articles to the Senate.

She will never allow impeachment to go forward when aquital is the outcome

As the President always says......”We’ll see”

We want Trump convicted! An acquittal or even a dismissal, would mean it was all for naught.

They want Pierre Dilecto to round up 22 plus GOP votes to remove Trump from office.

If they don’t get it, they’ll wait til hell freezes over.

There is no impeachment without turning in the paper work.

McConnell can vote to dismiss/acquit now - irrespective of the timing of the arrival of articles. Pre-acquittal. Pre-dismissal.

Deem the articles dismissed.

lol

My guess is McConnell will say that unless/until the House transmits the articles of impeachment, there is no point in wasting the Senate's time in debating what the rules will be. So, he'll announce that he's doing absolutely nothing until the articles are transmitted.

That will leave the ball in Pelosi's court for the next 12 months. Should be fun for her.

Trump should file a writ of mandamus with the supreme court and they must force Queen Pelosi to deliver them to the Senate.

Pelosi throws wrench into what was seen as a speedy Senate acquittal of Trump (IMPEACHMENT HELD HOSTAGE - DAY 1)

Perhaps one of the Freepers who has artistic ability could photoshop Pelosi’s face on a picture of the Ayatollah Khomeni.

McConnell needs to set a deadline for the senate to receive the formal submission, after which he’ll consider the impeachment articles expired and void.

Tell the house that their job is over, except for the formal submission to the senate. No more investigating, no more delays or other shenanigans. Send them by (specified date) or don’t send them at all. The senate will provide their acquittal either way.

They could not have due process in the House and had to railroad the President, but now all of a sudden they want to hold it back.

The House of Representatives is now trying to Blackmail the Senate, by holding back.

THIS IS 100% PROOF, as if we did not already know this, THAT THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE.

THE HOUSE LIED, BROKE THE RULES, AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO COUP THE PRESIDENT.

Now they are they threatening his life?

Ok. Say she holds this thing up in perpetuity and say Trump wins reelection and the GOP takes over the house in Nov 2020 while it is still on her desk.

Could the new speaker in Jan 2021 then decide to just tear it up and/or rescind it if she didn't then rush it over to the Senate while in a lame duck house majority? Is she at risk of having this somehow nullified if the dems don't maintain a majority?

Just wondering.

Well since the country “haven’t seen anything that looks fair to us” as far as all the house hearings and proceedings. Why does ms pelosi seem to think the house deserves anything but the same feelings on the other side? The house running a fully partisan, one sided sham called ‘hearings’ should have the Senate ‘trial’ be accomodated with the same “rules ? there’s only my rules” approach that schiff and nadless employed. Only fair.

I heard, from a fairly reliable source, that the purpose (by Pelosi) of the timing of the House impeachment was in order that a Senate trial happens at the first of the year and takes several weeks.

That keeps a couple of very liberal Senators (Sanders, Warren) from campaigning in some early caucus/primary states since they would need to be in Washington. The Dem establishment doesn’t want them to win the nomination.

The Senate will mess up her plans if the trial goes too quickly.
