House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will soon transmit the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, signaling a potential thaw in the standoff with Senate Republicans as she warned against rushing to an acquittal without a fair trial.
Pelosi, D-Calif., faces mounting pressure from Republicans and some Democrats to quit delaying the presidents trial in the Senate, three weeks after the House Democrats impeached Trump on charges of abuse and obstruction. Republicans say Democrats are embarrassed by their vote. But Pelosi countered that Democrats are proud of upholding the Constitution and said she doubted that Senate Republicans will do the same.
Many on Capitol Hill expect the Senate impeachment trial to begin next week.
Ill send them over when Im ready. That will probably be soon, Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol Thursday, noting she is not postponing it indefinitely.

thaw in the standoff
—
It’s not a “thaw in the standoff”. If it happens at all, it’s a subsiding of a severe attack of dementia.

It is only a standoff if both parties are invested in the conflict

nancy should deliver them after the trial has started and mcconnell should have a wastebasket handy so the courier can deposit them directly to the trash and they never hit desk space.

Why not?
She rushed to an indictment without evidence.

Good thing this wasnt something important, like Obamacare, that any speaker can just shelve and set on with impunity. This unconstitutional unethical conduct must be met by an official bitch slap by some one ASAP!

They will be sent to disrupt the State of the Union coverage.If the Senate begins next week Trump will be exonerated prior to the SOTU, thus making his ability to mock the Dems even greater. This year instead of White, the Dems will all wear Black to signify the death of their party.
