Cunning Lawfare Maneuver – House Will Withhold Submission of Articles from Senate…
FTA:
As the process appears to be unfolding, the Lawfare contracted lawyers representing the House: chief legal counsel Douglas Letter, Barry Berke, Norm Eisen and Daniel Goldman will now argue before the courts that all of the constitutionally contended material is required as evidence for a pending judicial proceeding, a trial in the Senate.
What the house crew have assembled is an interesting back-door attempt to position a valid claim for evidence against the accused without having first gained judicial authority for it. The Lawfare crew will argue to the lower courts, and to SCOTUS, the blocked evidentiary material is critical evidence in a soon-to-be-held Senate trial.
The material they have been seeking is: (1) Mueller grand jury material; (2) a deposition by former White House counsel Don McGahn; and less importantly (3) Trump financial and tax records. Each of these issues is currently being argued in appellate courts (6e and McGahn) and the supreme court (financials/taxes).

Maybe THAT is the path to sending this to the SC.

Cunning Lawfare Maneuver – House Will Withhold Submission of Articles from Senate…
So Nancy holds back the Articles of Impeachment until she is assured of no corruption in the Senate. (Now she knows how Trump felt about giving aid to Ukraine before assurances were made about corruption.) But, what if the Senate wants to see the Articles of Impeachment from the House before writing the procedures and rules that Nancy so desperately wants to see? Sounds like a classic stand-off. Nancy is therefore guilty of “Obstruction of Senate” which is a crime I just made up out of whole cloth just like the 2nd Article of Impeachment.
