Well, guys, it’s happening. It’s really happening. Nancy Pelosi, who at one point insisted that she didn’t want to rush headfirst into impeachment unless she had all her ducks in a row, appears to have decided to let the inmates run the asylum:
The House cannot choose our impeachment managers until we know what sort of trial the Senate will conduct.
President Trump blocked his own witnesses and documents from the House, and from the American people, on phony complaints about the House process. What is his excuse now?

The Democrats are really gonna Thelma-and-Louise this thing, aren’t they? Just cling to each other and drive over the cliff.
GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw sees this latest play for exactly what it is: a desperate, futile attempt to control a narrative that the Democrats never had control of to begin with.
This whole thing is bizarre.
House Dems pushed through the fastest, weakest impeachment in history. Now Pelosi refuses to send it to the Senate, arguing McConnell should strengthen her shoddy case & bring “fairness” to her utterly unfair process.
Bizarre & reeks of politics. https://t.co/qGX8cEEgal

And that’s being generous.

Impeachment was always a Democrat circus act. Now it's a weird French circus where the head clown reads a few lines of Sartre, turns to dust, and blows away. https://t.co/HXsoi941VT

An idea that started out as Krassenstein/ Louise Menschian fan fiction, on the level with the Marshal of the Supreme Court arresting President Trump, is now the official strategy of the Speaker of the House. https://t.co/G84f0taUe4

What a joke. What an absolutely embarrassing joke. Any journalist repeating these absurd talkers, or doing anything other than interrogating Pelosi, might as well be on the DCCC payroll. https://t.co/fllTfmc0mW

If there was any doubt that impeachment has been a pathetic, partisan sham driven by incumbents afraid of primary challenges, let this idiocy put it to rest. https://t.co/4gywKKqOOX https://t.co/fllTfmc0mW

And can we please stop with the kid-gloves treatment of Pelosi that just asserts she’s in control of her caucus and some super effective Speaker? She’s not. And this impeachment debacle proves it. https://t.co/4gywKKqOOX https://t.co/fllTfmc0mW

Nancy Pelosi’s gavel might as well be a squeaky toy. She’s completely lost control.
Stop. https://t.co/lQoKk1Ea48
