In a comic postscript to yesterday’s farce, Nancy Pelosi is threatening to withhold delivery of the House Democrats’ two impeachment articles to the Senate. Politico’s Kyle Cheney et al. have the story here. (Snip)
By withholding the articles of impeachment from the Senate, Pelosi hopes to extract the terms of a trial procedure that she deems favorable to the Democrats. Politico quotes Pelosi speaking at a news conference moments after passage of the impeachment articles: “So far we haven’t seen anything that looks fair to us.” She stated that it had been her intention to transmit the articles, “but we’ll see what happens over there.”

Hope when Nazi Pelosi sends it the Senate just plays Elvis singing "Return to Sender. Address Unknown."

Turtle Mc Connell, with the UNANIMOUS consent of all the GOP Senators (including Mittens), needs to send the following missive to Ms. Pelosi tomorrow morning:
The Articles of Impeachment, and all supporting documentation and proceedings in Mr. Schiff's secret chamber and Mr. Nadler's clown show, needs to be provided to all members of the Senate and the President and his lawyers within two weeks (Friday, January 3, 2020).
Following that, the President and his attorneys have sixty days to depose any and all witnesses to their defense in order to submit that documentation in lieu of calling witnesses (Tuesday, March 3, 2020).
The trial will begin on Monday, March 9, 2020. If the House Managers are not prepared to present their case or the House has not provided the aforementioned documentation and witnesses by the dates required, the Senate shall vote to dismiss any and all articles of impeachment and will not reconsider such action during this term.

Constitutionally, both houses of Congress write their own rules. Nancy Pelosi has no more right to dictate to the Senate than McConnel has to dictate to the House.
Further, you go to trial with the evidence that you have and make your case. You don't go to trial to continue an investigation. That part is done. If you don't have enough evidence for a conviction, you don't indict/impeach until you do.
FYI democrats, this is called being "hoisted on your own petard".
The phrase's meaning is literally that the bomb-maker (a "petard" is a small explosive device) is blown up ("hoisted" off the ground) by his own bomb, and indicates an ironic reversal, or poetic justice.

I’m wondering if Pelosi is holding off until enough Senators have been bribed, extorted or otherwise threatened that she’ll be sure to oust President Trump. As to the headline, she seems to actually be morphing into a clown with those comically high arching fake eyebrows and that pasty white eye shadow.

Yep, the clowns are already here. No need to send them in.
This is a corrupt, unconstitutional fraud. If they insist, and this goes too far, this could be the cause of Civil War 2.0.

This revelation was in the plan before Pelosi held her sham "solemn" meeting and the vote. She knows that the House is at the end of the line. She would not have taken the vote if she hadn't known that every little sheep of a democrat was on board except for the few who weren't. The first failure in this process is her last. If Mitch had any guts he would have given her 24 hours to produce her results or automatic dismissal.
