A tribunal doesn't start until it has been presented a case. The senate is the tribunal. It has not been presented a case. The house resolved to exhibit the articles to the senate, but it hasn't done that yet.

The delay is fine. The house voted in December 1998 to exhibit the Clinton articles. It got around to doing what it had resolved to do, the following January.

The pelosi black dress of chic solemnity was followed by an appearance in her red power dress to vacillate about presentation to the senate

The red dress incident was purely a gambit to increase the drama over the holidays

“ It has not been presented a case”

Mitch can deem the case presented. Ask Pelosi about deeming something.

There is no Constitutional requirement that the House formally present the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate; only that the person shall be impeached. This the House did with the adoption of H.R. 755 which reads:

Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:…
The House has given public notice the President Trump has been impeached. The Senate is thus free to schedule a trial. If the House does not follow-up by sending Managers and exhibiting the Articles of Impeachment, then the Senate could dismiss the impeachment on the basis of the House's failure to present its case, just as a judge could dismiss a case if a prosecutor failed to show up for a scheduled trial. The Senate has complete freedom to establish its own rules for the trial.

21 years. Not a round twenty, but it is yet another hint that the Clinton/Obama cartel still controls the DNC decision making in Washington.

No wonder this flimsy crap sandwich got through the house so fast. It’s pure symbollism December is when Bill Clinton’s articles passed the house?

Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.

But the house hasn’t voted to send the articles yet. This isn’t like what happened with Clinton.
