House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday defended her decision to hold off on sending impeachment articles to the Senate, calling Mitch McConnell a "rogue leader" in an unusual press conference where she repeatedly tried to shut down questions about the impeachment process.
Pelosi spoke to reporters after Democrats passed two articles of impeachment against President Trump in a Wednesday evening vote. She indicated the House would eventually send the articles over to the upper chamber, but insisted it is up to the Senate to determine how the process develops going forward.
“The next thing for us will be when we see the process that is set forth in the Senate, then we’ll know the number of managers that we may have to go forward, and who we would choose,” Pelosi said Thursday.
After an impeachment in the House, the articles are normally sent over to the upper chamber for an impeachment trial, but Pelosi signaled earlier that the House is waiting for the Senate to set out how Trump's trial will be conducted before they determine next steps, such as designating impeachment managers who will represent them. This prompted outrage from Republicans who worried she would simply refuse to transmit the articles, thus denying Trump the chance at acquittal.
Pelosi made clear Thursday that she is not prepared to name those managers yet "because we don't know the arena we are in." As she did Wednesday, Pelosi insisted House Democrats want to see a "fair process"...

Man o’ man... there must be something huge at the end of this to explain all the gamesmanship. Like, people going to jail type huge. Nothing else explains it.
They caught a case of political syphilis
He should sack up and tell nanzi to either send them or round file them. 5:00 p.m. today as a deadline.
Let San Fran Nan keep them, don’t do anything. Don’t even deal with them. If she sends them or not. Why care. Let her stew in holding on. Until they are at the Senate do ZERO. Don’t talk about it, don’t fret about it. Go on with pushing judges into the courts and working on laws. If they never arrive, they never arrive. If she sends them when you are in recess, so what. That is next year’s business then.
More proof that the whole impeachment process is now a bad joke. It’s akin to “indicting a ham sandwich,” if you get my legal gist.
Nice. Thank you! Forwarding.
The old bat is nuts. And the Dems are afraid of her because she’s so nutty.
She voted against imp-eachemnt for Bubba....and fought to censure instead.
Is that what she's up to?
The Dems sure like insulting other government organizations.
The Dems accuse everyone else of the crimes and corruption they are committing - too bad we have a Leftist Lapdog media or this stuff would be challenged.
This need to know which manager to send is such weak sauce. The house isn’t known for much in terms of persuasion anyway.
“Otherwise she could hold off until the Senate is in Dim hands.”
I’m sure that’s what they’re thinking. These are truly vile people with not an ounce of fair play in them.

There you have it. This was the plan the impeachment without an acquittal. Maybe the GOP has figured out what a pack of evil pricks they are dealing with..maybe.
“Rogue Leader” ????
The democRats have perfected projection, and use it at will.
Folks, every president back to the beginning of the republic, was guilty of impeachable offenses if Trump is.
Let that sink in:
But....I thought that the left was the resistance?
