Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that she expects to send the articles of impeachment against President Trump over to the Senate next week to launch his long-awaited trial.

The move comes more than three weeks after the House passed two articles of impeachment against Trump over his dealings with Ukraine, and amid increasing pressure on the Speaker to drop her hold on the articles.

"I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the Floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate," Pelosi wrote in a letter to Democrats.

The articles get sent.

After the Senate takes it up, then you send the managers.

I think she's still trying to be clever.

Start the trail motions without her, she didn’t say Monday
could be next Friday, its already a month late.

Besides what she has to send is mute, garbage.

In fact I would even go for that motion to dismiss.

Didn’t she say she would “take steps” to send them to the Senate? That can mean whatever she wants it to mean.

Don’t believe her. No reason she couldn’t have sent them today, so she’s still stalling.

As she knows she’s completely f-ed the moment she delivers them, she is going to try to stall further and cannot reasonably be expected to deliver the articles on her stated timeline, or to deliver them at all on any timeline.
