She can even refer the Articles to be amended with new witnesses while Donnie twists in the wind, all the way until November? Until or unless public opinion turns, which it may not at all. The public is engaged now, wanting to know. Hard for Republicans to intercept that ball.
Simply she is teaching Democrats how to think outside the box, outside a strict reading of the Constitution, the way Republicans create whatever suits their agenda as they tell you they are strict constructionists.
Oh! A SLOW impeachment. Put it on simmer, and turn up the heat.
And if the Senate won't agree to examine the evidence, is there any part of the Constitution that says what the contents of Articles of Impeachment are allowed to be? Suppose the House included subpoenas as part of the Articles sent to the Senate? After all, impeachment is a special trial, not Senate committees. Sort of like impeachment reconciliation, here's the Articles and the evidence and you should also look at and talk to such and such.
