Can Pelosi be impeached for delaying Trump's trial in the Senate? Or is she falling on her sword to protect her House from the Senate?
So, politics being sort of strange, why is Pelosi holding back on sending the impeachment over to the Senate for trial? The reason given by Pelosi is to negotiate a better deal for her democrats in the House who are now politically vulnerable. But, one would think that McConnell would look at his schedule, give Pelosi a couple of days to produce her work or remove the impeachment from the schedule. Either way accomplishes the goal of the Senate, which is that it is a screw up by the House democrats that should never have happened and the Senate should not have to be bothered with it. It does allow the democrats to blame the Senate, but the counter argument is that it was a blunder by the democrats that should have never happened and the democrats finally shut it down. Too late, but Pelosi shut it down.
