Even though the Dem-controlled House of Representatives voted last night to pass two articles of impeachment against President Trump, Nancy Pelosi and others have made it clear they have no intention of handing off that political football yet. There’s still plenty of partisan political games to be played:
Nancy Pelosi suggested a delay in the transmission of articles of impeachment is possible if Senate Republicans could not agree to a "fair" process. https://t.co/szqG0Fjxdy

After the impeachment circus everybody witnessed in the House, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had the audacity to lecture Republicans about the F-word: Fairness:
To the Republican Senators:
Our message is a simple one.
Democrats want a fair trial that examines the relevant facts.
We want a fair trial.
But the message from Senator McConnell, at the moment, is that he has no intention of conducting a fair trial. pic.twitter.com/PMAtQaQjhi

Wait, what was that word again?
"fair"

That’s what we thought he said.
I want the Senate process to be as fair as the House process was. We are all sick of the double standards and the standards and rules that apply only to the little people or people who are not already Democrats. https://t.co/QHZ0leWsx8

If the Senate process is as fair as the House process was, isn’t that the epitome of “fairness,” Sen. Schumer?

The house never gave the Republicans a fair shot in the house. Fair play you want. We will do what you did. That's fair. https://t.co/cMqBkcttJa

That's not what Mitch McConnell said. You're like Adam Schiff. A damn liar. https://t.co/LuHxHIbEU4

A couple days ago Schumer gave Mitch McConnell his list of demands for the impeachment trial (if House Dems ever turn over the articles to the Senate). McConnell has been reminding Schumer ever since which party has control of the Senate.
