As you know, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to stall on sending the articles of impeachment over to the Senate in an apparent effort to squeeze every last ounce of politics from the situation. Today is no different:
Trump engaged in unprecedented, total obstruction of Congress, hiding these emails, all other documents, and his top aides from the American people.
His excuse was a phony complaint about the House process.
What’s the excuse now? Why won’t Trump & McConnell allow a fair trial? https://t.co/S3ZlEJMMDB

One Republican in the Senate who is also a law professor, Josh Hawley of Missouri, has seen and heard enough:
Dems said impeachment was URGENT. Now they don’t want to have a trial, because they have no evidence. In real world, if prosecution doesn’t proceed with case, it gets dismissed. So on Monday, I will introduce measure to dismiss this bogus impeachment for lack of prosecution

This will expose Dems’ circus for what it is: a fake impeachment, abuse of the Constitution, based on no evidence. If Dems won’t proceed with trial, bogus articles should be dismissed and @realDonaldTrump fully cleared

It’s clear that Pelosi has absolutely no intention of ever actually sending the articles over to the Senate, and enough is enough. To be continued…
