Oral arguments in the DC Court of Appeals for the House Judiciary Committee to obtain Mueller’s grand jury information, are scheduled for January 3rd, 2020. The HJC is leveraging the Senate impeachment trial in their arguments to gain access to the Mueller material. This approach is by design.
With that in mind it seems likely any House impeachment articles will not be delivered to the Senate until after the DC court arguments, and likely not before the ruling:
In addition to the Mueller evidence, the HJC is seeking judicial enforcement authority to force the testimony of former White House counsel Don McGahn. Both HJC appeals court arguments are using the Senate trial to bolster their case.
The rushed House articles were/are a means to an end. That is – a way for House lawyers to argue in court all of the constitutionally contended material is required as evidence for pending judicial proceedings, a trial in the Senate.
This would explain why all the prior evidence debated for inclusion and legal additions to “articles of impeachment” were dropped. Instead the House focused only on quickly framing two articles that could facilitate two pending court cases.
As interested observers will note the House never voted to authorize the full judicial impeachment process; instead they voted to approve an inquiry into whether an impeachment should take place. By not voting to authorize articles of impeachment the House never gained ‘judicial enforcement authority‘.
What the house crew have assembled is an interesting back-door attempt to position a valid claim for evidence against the accused without having first gained judicial authority for it.

An endless series of impeachment articles from Nadler would in fact be harrassment. As in the story of the Boy who cried “Wolf,” I don’t think that would be a good move from the dems, and the senate could start dismissing such “articles” quickly.
See #21.

Correct. Even some of the libs at some point will get tired of the House doing absolutely nothing but holding hearings.
And why we don't hear regularly about the electoral malfeasance of 2016 and what will be done to ensure that it's not repeated in 2020 is totally beyond me. It would seem that this is something of the highest priority.....
Could be.
Wow. It just gets worse.
Still, they’re not winning the people, they’re losing them in brutal numbers.
They will fall back on fraud and illegal votes and cheating.
ROFL!!!
I feel better about myself already! :)
Our Gov is full of liars, thieves and crooks. Ask any DOD contractor who is not in the top three or so.
