I believe that Pelosi is so imbedded within the slimy Swamp bubble that she simply has NO idea of the real world. Why else would she prance around bragging of "the power of the gavel", and then demand from McConnell that the Senate bow to her demands of what should be the conviction rules.
Reality, of course, is that there is no case for conviction, and the best thing that could happen is that she withholds the impeachment papers indefinitely. They would die at the end of the Pelosi Congress, and the failed impeachment asterisk would go after Pelosi's name in the history books and not after Trump's.
McConnell was great with her holding the fakepeachment articles when he said, “We don’t want them anyway!” I call your bluff.
