As my Red State colleagues Bonchie and Streiff noted on Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is playing a peculiar game of chess with Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell when it comes to the articles of impeachment.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to commit Wednesday to delivering articles of impeachment to the Senate, citing concerns about an unfair trial on removing President Donald Trump from office.
"So far we haven't seen anything that looks fair to us," Pelosi told reporters at a news conference just moments after the House charged Trump with abuse of power and obstructing congressional investigations.
That Pelosi seems to expect McConnell to cede ground to her in the debate over how the trial will be conducted in the Senate under his leadership is laughable, especially when you consider how House Democratic leaders took unprecedented steps to keep Republican minority members in the dark on much of the impeachment inquiry process, while also limiting options for White House attorneys to prepare a defense for the President.
Now AFTER a sham impeachment process, they're going to wait to send the actual Articles to the Senate?
During the segment, Jordan and Biggs both talked about how the reality of it was that Pelosi didn't expect the tables to turn on Democrats with American voters in the middle of their latest attempt at ousting Trump.
On a related note, House Majority Whip James Clyburn is recommending the articles be withheld indefinitely from the Senate.
