Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on Wednesday suggested that it is time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to transmit the articles of impeachment against the president to the Senate, remarking, “I don’t see what good delay does.”
If we’re going to do it, she should send them over,” Feinstein said, according to Bloomberg. “I don’t see what good delay does.”
While Pelosi has yet to signal when she will send the articles to the upper chamber, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) defended her decision, contending that she wanted to “see the arena in which she was playing” and suggesting that she successfully prevented a quick acquittal of the president.
“She wanted to see the arena in which she was playing when it came to a trial so she could appoint impeachment managers,” Schumer stated. “Now it’s becoming clear that Mitch McConnell will do whatever he can to avoid a fair trial, so she has some idea of what’s happening,” he continued.
Pelosi was rumored to hold on to the articles until the Senate agreed to have former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who said he would comply in the event of a subpoena, testify. However, the Senate GOP has enough votes to block the Democrats’ demands for immediate witnesses[…]
With the GOP’s upper hand in the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has signaled that he is prepared to start an impeachment trial without a deal on witnesses. However, Schumer has vowed to continue pressing for his caucus’s demands.
“If you’re afraid of the facts, if you’re afraid of what will come out, if you want to cover it up even in something as weighty and serious as impeachment, you say no witnesses and no documents,” Schumer said on Tuesday.
“Witnesses and documents? Fair trial. No witnesses and no documents? A coverup,” he added.
Pelosi said on Wednesday that she is “waiting to see what the terms are” before transmitting the articles to the upper chamber.
“How we choose our managers depends on what the arena is that we are going into,” she said, echoing Schumer.

Blog Author's Comments: Interesting that crooked and dishonest Feinstein has criticized her corrupt and twisted cohort Pelosi. The Speaker is aware she has nothing to impeach the President for, so she is stalling and digging for anything that will add to their already pathetic reasons to remove the duly elected President. The Democrats will never get over the fact that Hillary was and will forever be a terrible candidate and person.
The Democrats are angry they cannot change the Senate rules to use their dirty lawyers and law professors, as they did in the House.
Their "managers" will be a very hard choice as the entire party are communists and/or insane.
They know that their 2020 hopes are almost over, thanks to the constant drum beat to impeach. The voting public is tired and many stopped paying attention months ago. They cannot overcome the booming Trump economy, his winning at home and abroad for America, and at this point in time, the fact that the Democrats don't have a viable candidate to run against him.
