McConnell, who previously said he wanted to hold the trial in January, responded: 'It's beyond me how the Speaker and Democratic Leader in the Senate think withholding the articles of impeachment and not sending them over gives them leverage. 'Frankly, I'm not anxious to have the trial. If she thinks her case is so weak she doesn't want to send it over, throw me into that briar patch.'

Nancy is quite insane, Mitch. That's why she thinks she has leverage.

It is akin to telling a death-row inmate, "If you don't select the last supper I want you to, I will refuse to execute you."

Always like your posts, but this one could be pushing the limits of excited hyperbole.

LS has pointed out that the House leadership is being advised by Tribe and other constitutional law experts in crafting their overall "lawfare" game plan. We've seen it in action for the past 3 years now, what with the left's federal district judge shopping and the issuance of nation-wide injunctions. So, let's assume the House is actually pursuing this impeachment matter fully conscious as **to their best possible advantage**.

For example, consider Bastogne - it was the Nazis best, last ditch effort. It wasn't ill thought out or rushed; it was planned, deliberate and intended to deliver victory. Problem was, even with their best efforts, the Nazis still lost on a match-up basis.

So, if we assume the left is actually thinking through this shampeachment process clearly and deliberately, using all available resources/assets (media, base, etc) to their best possible advantage, then ... what does that tell us that even so, it's failing quite badly? IOW, Pelosi isn't crazy, she's just like the German generals who knew it was all over, but still had to go through the motions. (While secretly getting their travel plans ready for Paraguay.)

I think from any rationale perspective, the high water mark in the anti-Trump campaign was reached when the final vote was cast last night. From now on, it's all downhill. Trump has been fighting by himself, but now, as when Japan brought the US into the war, Mitch is now engaged. While it might be sort of surreal actually living through this time, image how historians are going to struggle attempting to explain what happened to future generations. LOL

This is why Pelosi's holding out Articles from the Senate now.
