Pelosi To Send Articles Of Impeachment To Senate Next Week

[Dulcinea]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., says she plans to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week, despite her ongoing concerns over how Republicans plan to conduct the Senate trial.

Pelosi plans to move ahead by transmitting the articles and naming impeachment managers who will present the House case in the Senate trial. She said in a letter to House Democrats that she would consult with the caucus on Tuesday about next steps.

"In an impeachment trial, every Senator takes an oath to 'do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.' Every Senator now faces a choice: to be loyal to the President or the Constitution," Pelosi said in the letter.

Asked whether she thought the Senate trial would be "fair," she said no.

2. I hope Nancy has something up her sleeve

It should only take the Senate a few days to allow Trump to do a victory dance at the SOTU address.

3. Me too!

I think she has come to grips with the reality of a McConnell-controlled Senate and now has plans on how to make him/them PAY FOR THEIR LOYALTY TO THE PRESIDENT

4. I just don't want the trial to be ended...

...and Drumpf "exonerated" right before the State Of The Union address on February 4th.

Timing and momentum are everything right now.

5. +1

I heard the quote and it didn't sound like she was definitely going to do that. She has to provide occasional lip service to keep from revealing her hand. She's not lying, she is waiting for a certain something to take place and ot will happen eventually, but we have to be patient and so do the members of our caucuses.

What I think she's waiting for is the Rs to further show their hand as cohorts in a coverup and an internal revolt that is probably brewing within the upper echelon of government.

Things are going to be fast and furious in the near future, starting from day 1 of this year. I'm strapped in and braced for 20Gs myself.

6. Hope you are right about all of that. I'll have to tune in to

my usual news sources this evening. I hope I hear what you heard.
