So, legally speaking...what happens now if they choose to withhold the Articles they passed? Can Trump take them to court? Seems unlikely because of separation of powers. if the process of a trial hasn’t begun, Trump can’t take them to court for legislation they pass in the House.
But if they lose the House in November, can the House GOP vote to nullify the “shampeachment”?? I’d like to know what options there are from anyone who knows what the legal moves are which would be pursued.
If she never sends it to the Senate, then how can the say Trump was impeached? I mean it’s like a guy being arrested and indicted for a crime, but he’s never given a court date?

I've read several times that no matter if Pelosi does or does not send the article to the Senate - it's a moot point. The House has voted. It's no longer in their department. It is now officially a Senate Procedure.
It's like calling the cops and filing charges on someone. You may later change your mind. You may wish to NOT press charges or NOT seek prosecution. Too bad. You no longer have that option or choice.
Pelosi knows this impeachment was a YUGE mistake. She's trying to walk it back. Too bad. She has no control of this process now. It's in the Senate's wheelhouse.
