It seems to me that failing to forward the articles to the Senate for trial is in and of itself an obstruction. A month ago there was all this urgency to impeach. What happened to the urgency? Yeah, Nancy is groveling for a commitment to a fair trial. What defines a fair trial? I get a sense that anything that does not result in conviction and removal is going to be considered an unfair trial by the Republican controlled Senate. This is a classic case trying to overreach her capacity, or having your cake and eat it too, on her part. Pelosi and the House have done their part; they do not get to control the entire process. This does not get to be left in limbo and the American people left twisting in the wind indefinitely. The GOP Senators are very correct, IMO, to expect a timeline and if it is not "reasonable", would feel like they will have no other choice than to pass a resolution to dismiss.

The Dems want this done. Shit or get off the pot. If they don't it just means this was all political bluster, with no teeth.

Can you imagine how empty the jails would be, if the criminal defendants could all work with the foreman of the jury to guarantee an acquittal?

The idea that Pelosi has been holding back is bullshit. Remember this holiday break thing? The articles were passed the day before they adjourned. This is only the third day back. I think Bolton just gave the House an invitation to subpoena him, whether he realizes it or not. They should do so.

You're getting angry over words I never said. You're making assumptions that are incorrect, ranting about your flawed insight as if it had some validity, and arguing points that I never made. This is the very definition of a straw man argument. Give it up. The one sentence I wrote is absolutely accurate.
Who me?

Probably why he specifically said "the Senate".
