House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Democrats may wait to send their articles of impeachment against President Trump to the GOP-controlled Senate, for fear that they are incapable of holding a fair trial.
Pelosi held a press conference on Wednesday following the House impeachment vote and was asked what would qualify as a "fair trial."
"We'll make a decision as a group, as we always have, as we go along," she replied.
Pelosi was then asked about possibly withholding the articles of impeachment from the Senate until they get certain reassurances, and the Speaker refused to give a direct answer.
"Again, we'll decide what that dynamic is, but we hope that the resolution of that process will be soon in the Senate," she said.

This Ham Sandwich is not easy to eat.
Three House Democrats broke rank. Pelosi couldnt even hold her party together on the vote.
The articles approved by the House are DOA. This circus was for absolutely nothing.
Give Mitch some credit.
He shot that crap down right away.
Schumer knows there is nothing there.
I still think it is all a ruse from both sides but like trying to figure it out.
It feeds certain ideologies.
Money is a big business. What makes people believe what they do escapes me. I think it is a magnetic thingy.
"If I have not formally received the partisan and unilateral Articles of Impeachment passed by the Democrats in the House of Representatives by close of business on Friday, I will hold a vote to acquit at 9am Moday, without debate". Mic drop.
Yeah, not Mitch's style, but one can hope, and the Republicans seem completely united against this impeachment.
Mitch should go Biden on Aunt Nancy. If the papers aren’t there in six hours, the SOB is void.
No problem. The Senate can just tell her those rules apply AFTER impeachment just like Nadless did, and go ahead and vote and dismiss the thing anyway.
I don’t see how this works out for the Democrats. People are even more likely to say Nancy is just playing games.
“Shed do that with all legislation if she had the Stalinist chance.
Have to vote for the bills to find out what were in them.”
Well said. Makes me wonder why people call you a fool.
Send the particulars
Otherwise, there is nothing to consider...as you go...
I hope she gets an attitude adjustment by way of “a clue by four” about process and procedure...
Nothing to nullify without formal transition of the particulars....
Zactly...
did you see Doug Collins speech that got a standing ovation? He said the house hasn’t been following process for a year.
I did not...link?
The label is now set, we will see the democratic contender using this as well as the DNC in every ad.
