Noah Feldman, a professor at Harvard Law School, published an opinion piece in Bloomberg on Thursday arguing against the House Democrats withholding the articles of impeachment, thus preventing the Senate from holding a trial.
"Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution:
The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment.
The Senate must actually hold a trial," he argues. "If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasnt actually impeached the president.
If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasnt truly impeached at all."

Yeah, but Christmas break. They had time to deliver to the Senate (where it will go no place) but it looks like it must not be THAT important.
Pelosi could keep the impeachment articles hanging over the next election and threaten a Democrat Senate to carry it through after the presidential election.
What does she have to lose in taking the chance of getting a Dem. majority Senate and dispatching the President after the election if he wins? She does not seem worried about the public’s approval as she has nearly half of the country behind her, plus all the illegals and dead people who will vote for Dems.
Some people might avoid voting for Trump if there’s a chance of him being thrown out of office.
