Scoop: Lawyers close to Trump are exploring whether Pelosis decision to temporarily withhold articles of impeachment from the Senate could mean that the president hasnt actually been impeached.
The case is largely rhetorical, but could provide WH and Senate Republicans leverage— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) December 19, 2019
12 new judges confirmed today by the Senate.
Total is now 187.
Trump isn't impeached til House transmits to Senate, per a Harvard Law professor who was a witness for House Democrats.
If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasnt truly impeached at all, @NoahRFeldman writes. https://t.co/urzhneXlo8— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) December 19, 2019
