House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that she will take steps next week to send impeachment articles to the Senate, after delaying the process since last month in a bid to extract favorable terms for a trial.
“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. I will be consulting with you at our Tuesday House Democratic Caucus meeting on how we proceed further,” Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to colleagues.
The decision to release the articles came as fellow Democrats in recent days had started to voice frustration and impatience with the speaker's approach. They stressed the urgency with which impeachment was treated at the end of 2019 and questioned why the House would then delay a trial by using articles as leverage.

Yesterday, she pronounced she'll send them over when she's "ready". Wonder what suddenly made Nancy ready? Sounds like pressure from those in her own party convinced her that she had better stop stalling, crap on the pot or get off!

I’d read that the Senate was looking to move forward with the trial next week, articles or no. I think Pelosi got as much mileage out of her bit if theater as she was ever going to get, which isn’t much. It was a dumb ploy to begin with and really discounted the seriousness she pretended the process had.
She should sit on them until turtle boy capitulates on the witness issue.

The Senate would try a potus on impeachment charges.....without the charges? How exactly would that work, Constitutionally?I’d read that the Senate was looking to move forward with the trial next week, articles or no.

Basically, imagine a court trying a defendant without an indictment.
My guess is that Donald or one of his surrogates has held the SOTU over her head.
McConnell planned to join a resolution to dismiss if Nancy did not send over the articles by next week. Actually this is a win for McConnell because looks like he forced Nancy's hand to finally cave and submit.
That would be awkward - conducting a trial on indictments that they haven't received and those who wrote them not on hand to present them. I suspect that was bluster and frustration.

They would dismiss the indictment out of hand. Gone. Never happened.
Nancy can't afford to see all of her efforts go down the drain like that. She needs more talking points.
That is NOT what Moon described, your comment is a non-sequitur.McConnell planned to join a resolution to dismiss if Nancy did not send over the articles by next week.
I suppose if you consider the breaking of precedent, the negotiation between House and Senate on the rules for a trial, as a "win", well there you are.Actually this is a win for McConnell because looks like he forced Nancy's hand to finally cave and submit.
