Exactly right. McConnell will rightly say that he's not going to waste the Senate's time discussing rules if the House isn't going to send over the Articles of impeachment. Pelosi will look like an idiot going through the entire impeachment process, then doing nothing with it.

Dumb move on Pelosi's part.
