(CNN)Let's call it the Pelosi Pause. There are no written rules governing the timetable for delivery of the House decision impeaching Donald Trump to the Senate, only custom. But then there were no written rules governing the timetable for a Senate decision on Barack Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland, only custom. If Speaker Nancy Pelosi follows Senator Mitch McConnell's playbook, Donald Trump will never stand trial in the Senate.
Joseph Ellis Joseph Ellis From a Democratic perspective that outcome would be preferable to a show trial, where the conclusion is not just foreordained, but announced beforehand by the Majority Leader after consulting with White House counsel. It's perfect: a rigged trial of a President accused of plotting a rigged election. We can only assume that Senator McConnell will be winking at the camera when he takes the oath of impartiality, "so help me God." Pelosi need not wink, she only needs to wait. How long? Until November 2020, if necessary. McConnell claims that he has all the leverage because he has the votes in the Senate, and that, not the evidence described in the impeachment report, is all that counts. But it counts for nothing until the Senate receives the impeachment recommendation from the House. Dean: Pelosi has leverage over Senate impeachment trial
This is what Speaker Pelosi knows, and that could be why she is waiting

Until the current Congress closes then too late.
As long as the “indictment” is withheld and NOT presented to the “court”, it is moot. Butt, cnn..............

“Pelosi should block impeachment trial until White House is forced to reveal all”
CNN, The Crappy Nonsense Network is still just passing gas.
The House already indicted the President, in haste, without waiting for the documents they told the Court they needed
What do they think they can do? Indict him again?
This seems to nullify their complaint of “ obstruction” since they reached a verdict already
Can we get a simple little football analogy here? The DemRats scored their touchdown and now they refuse to kick the ball off to the other team. What it is.
Get off my porch Satan. Halloween’s over and your costume sucks. Go scare somebody else’s house. Oh...wait...
Nope, McConnell sets the rules. All he needs to do is say to Pelosi, “you have until ‘X’ to produce your managers. No witnesses except on who Trump wants to defend himself, which you would not afford him to do. Don’t like it? Don’t care! I run the Senate, and adults are in charge here. Abide by our rules or piss off!”
Great Columnists CNN has.
Splendid CVs.
You have to be corrupt to work there.
How will they know when *all* has been revealed?
Who are they to judge that?
Oh, let me guess. When it fits their narrative, THEN the Truth will finally have come out.
Anything that doesn’t fit their narrative will be deemed to be a lie.
Yeah...’cause that’s leverage.
Perhaps we’ll have to detach her head to find out what’s in it. Does it screw on?
Good! We don’t care if the House ever sends them. Only makes them look bad.
Yep Bommer what Mitch should do. Thats what Pelosi wants too so she can incoherently with emotional rantings blame the Republicans as not being ‘fair and impartial’. Tt plays to her whacked out base to blame and smear the Repub Senate.
There you go. Typical leftist. Supreme liar who creates their own personal fantasy world and cannot step out of it. Therefore, they stick to CNN and telling themselves they are good people.
These people are mentally disturbed.
I’m glad all the real stupid people are on their side.
LOL.
How exactly does she “ force” anything?
