We all know this was purely a partisan exercise which has been in the works since the night Donald Trump was elected president over Hillary Clinton. Democrats just can’t deal with Trump winning, and looked for any excuse to impeach him. Heck, as Rep Mark Meadows noted during debate, and had Ilhan Oman melting down, hateful and Jew hating Rashida Tlaib said
Listen carefully, and you'll hear Rep. @IlhanMN yelling "Stop it!" multiple times on the House floor when @GOPLeader brings up @RashidaTlaib's "impeach the motherf**ker" comments.

So, after rushing
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.
Would this be the “fair trial” Trump received in the House? Seriously, is this somehow supposed to hurt Trump and give Senate Republicans a sad? The vote was 100% along party lines, with every Republican voting against the Democrats crimeless impeachment articles, and a couple Dems voting against or “present.” But, hey, y’all go ahead and sit on the articles, Mitch McConnell isn’t backing down, and there’s zero way two-thirds of Senators vote against him. Sit on the articles and more on the fencers will realize this was all an exercise in the ultimate Trump Derangement Syndrome, and the polls will turn even further against impeachment.
Oh, and the Senate can still hold an impeachment vote even without the articles being sent over. They’re public record, McConnell could simply say “hey, we’re voting in 3 days, go ahead and read them.”
