THE 4 FUNCTIONS OF Q
"This final article is the most recent — September 2019. The Q military intelligence project appears to have four goals, as far as one can tell from the outside:
- A multi-year process to disclose secret illegal government activity.
- A prophylactic againstcivil war and vigilante behaviour.
- A training program indiscernment and logical thinking.
- An information weapon againstinstitutionalised crime and corrupted media." ~ Martin Geddes

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).
Pollak: Senate Can Acquit Even If House Withholds Articles of Impeachment
FTA:
If Pelosi refuses to submit the articles of impeachment to the Senate, McConnell can convene the Senate anyway, summon the Chief Justice, and swear in the Senators as jurors. Democrats can boycott, but they cant stop the trial.
McConnell can then propose to dismiss the charges or even hold a vote to acquit the president.
Pelosi can hide the articles of impeachment in Adam Schiffs basement forever, and it wont make a bit of difference.
Case closed.
Why do I suspect she means the organizers of the trial (rascally Republicans) rather than the poor, simple (Democratic) jurors? Is there a reason that the Dem senators have been heaviest on saying that they are keeping their minds open? Perhaps another lawfare attack being planned?
