It's amazing the number of naive Democrats falling for the Republican/Media-driven story....

...that Pelosi should send the Articles of Impeachment over to the Senate immediately.

It is unfortunate that they have been caught up in that web of deceit.

"We'll see what happens," next time they ask her when she is going to forward the impeachment articles.

I haven't spoken to any dem who thinks we should be done with it quickly.

There is nothing but advantage so far. Trump is squirming. Moscow is squirming. Individual senators are squirming. Collins is setting herself on fire.

What, exactly, is the downside?

Even if moscow votes to try them without them being released, we shouldn't show up until we are ready.

Pelosi said as recently as last night she isn't releasing them yet. Moscow still hasn't set the rules, and won't, until the trial begins.

I personally want this unresolved until after the state of the union, at a minimum.

but i am willing to let him twist in the wind a little in order to assure his removal.

even the repubs mist recognize that trump is exhibiting drug addiction rather than religious ecstasy by now, and that soon he will fall apart.

Adam Smith, chairman of the Armed Services committee just said on CNN that it is time to send over the Articles.
