House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday that she will send the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate "when I'm ready," rebuffing calls from top Democrats to submit them.
“No, I’m not holding them indefinitely," Pelosi told reporters during a press conference at the Capitol. "I will turn them over when I’m ready, and that will probably be soon.”
Some Democrats in the House and Senate have joined Republicans in recent days in saying it's time for Pelosi to send the articles to the Senate.
After initially saying in an interview Thursday morning that he thought Pelosi should submit the articles, Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., backtracked, tweeting that he "misspoke."
Pelosi has withheld the articles since her chamber adopted them last month, saying she will not transmit them to the Senate until the trial process is explicitly laid out. But she has suggested she could submit them soon.
"Nonetheless, at some point, we would hope that we would see from them what the terms of engagement will be," Pelosi told reporters Thursday. "We are ready, we are proud of our defense of the Constitution of the United States."
In a letter to colleagues Tuesday, Pelosi said it was important that McConnell "immediately publish this resolution, so that, as I have said before, we can see the arena in which we will be participating, appoint managers and transmit the articles to the Senate."
No trial can begin until the articles are sent.

Nancy is a loose cannon...keep an eye on her.
Popcorn time!!!! AGAIN.
More Fake News from NBC.
The headline should state Pelosi to turnover articles, “will probably be soon.”
But they try to indicate the opposite with her previous remarks.
They can’t help showing they are rooting for the Rats.
Another headline would be, “Nancy Pelosi surrenders, says she will turn over articles... soon.”
What an incredible week.
I’m having a winning overdose.
At her age and the amount of stress she’s under, she could have an aneurysm at any moment. Just sayin’.
She has a edict from the Senate to turn them over by January 12th (less than three days) or the case will be dismissed.
Nazi thinks she is the Supreme Speaker, rewriting history, the Constitution and the legal system.
She’s praying the media’s new (Iranian) Chew toy distracts the public while she finds a way to tie it to impeachment.
Probably soon.
Well Mitch what does that sound like to you?
In the meantime they Senate can approve another 25 Trump nominees to federal judgeships!
Pelosi doesn’t want anyone to read her Farticles of Impeachment because we’ll find out what’s in them. Ignorance is bliss.
Not indefinitely, but at an indefinite time.
Well, okay then, nutball Nancy.
The Chattering Teeth Jihadist of the year 2019 is losing favor with some Americans?
“she’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you are bleeding” according to her dour spawn and the enmeshed propagandists. See how effortlessly and joyfully they work together.

(LOL...Notice the pitiful NPCers to Spawn’s left and right)
Will we have to take her head off to find out what’s in it...or does it unscrew?
She’s coming up on the State of the Union address by POTUS.
I can’t imagine that she will put herself in the position of him HUMILIATING her, right in “her own” house, by continuing to stonewall on this.
She’s going to have to do something, IMHO, very soon. Possibly she will call off the SOTU, due to “Trump’s status is murky, since he as been impeached by the House”... or along that line.
I, I, I. Clearly an abuse of power. The Speaker of the House has no individual discretion or power over impeachment. The House of Representatives have voted and she is abusing her power in this stupid ignorant exercise.
I have been posting this meme since the terrorist, the Salami, aka Qassem Soleimani was killed as an enemy combatant while ordering more attacks in Iraq against Americans. He thought that President Trump was impeached and therefore impotent to stop the attack on our Embassy.
After my second cup of coffee that first morning, I had just about come to what was posted below:
:^) The reason our enemies and trade rivals are emboldened IS the impeachment. All Demagogic Party trash belongs at the end of a rope.
These terrorist Iranian top dogs figured, wrongly, that they could attack our embassy and worse without any reaction from an impeached president.
They planned to put impeached President Trump into a Jimmy Carter mode after they seized our embassy in Iraq.
Trump's response, panicked them and they descended into Iraq to plan more problems for our president and Iraq. That killed their #1 and #2 terrorist planners as enemy combatants not in their country.
Which top Irani dog is up next, to become sliced/diced and cooked dog food in Iraq?
It is past time to end these fake impeachment hearings.
That’s the spirit!
Another headline would be, “Nancy Pelosi surrenders, says she will turn over articles... soon.”

That would undoubtedly be the headline if a Republican was pulling this stunt.
