It would be very simple to hold a press conference with 51 GOP senators (minimum) stating that the decision to not transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate proves the lie that Pelosi and the Democrats have used to speed an impeachment vote through the house; that the President is an urgent danger to the republic and time cannot be wasted waiting on the courts to make decisions. He could then reference the amount of time it took the House to transmit the Clinton impeachment articles to the Senate and set that time frame as a deadline for a snap vote to dismiss if the articles have not been delivered.
I have to think that if this thought did not cross Mitch’s mind, it must mean he does not think he has 51 votes to dismiss and end this impeachment charade.
I hope I am wrong. If I am wrong, Mitch, please call Nancy’s bluff!
We’ll see.
I think Mitch telling Nancy to put up or shut up is much more effective than giving an excuse for more media attention. The stronger move is to make your statement á la Mitch and then ignore the issue giving it exactly the importance it has, none. You swat the flies when they rise to buzz again.
