Tactics for @SpeakerPelosi she might lay down the marker: She will not contribute to a sham trial without witnesses. Send the articles when the Senate agrees to abide by process Graham demanded before the Clinton trial (when he pleaded for witnesses). @SenateDems @SenSchumer
@SpeakerPelosi @SenateDems @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi can wait to transmit the articles until such time as the cases involving senior officials wind their way through the courts & reach a final ruling (likely at the Supreme Court) & obtain witnesses. Continue investigating. @RepAdamSchiff
@SpeakerPelosi @SenateDems @SenSchumer @RepAdamSchiff @SpeakerPelosi can wait til Supreme Court frees up former WH counsel Donald McGahn & former deputy natl security adviser Charles Kupperman (whose case Bolton said would rely on to testify). House lawyers need to file court briefs saying cases are NOT MOOT!!! @RepAdamSchiff
@SpeakerPelosi @SenateDems @SenSchumer @RepAdamSchiff @SpeakerPelosi If the Senate still won’t call them as witnesses, the House can hold additional hearings and supplement the record. @RepAdamSchiff
@SpeakerPelosi @SenateDems @SenSchumer @RepAdamSchiff @SpeakerPelosi can give McConnell chance to do right thing & also give three Republicans chance to do the right thing by insisting on fair rules. Ultimately, she can simply wait for the courts to do the right thing before entrusting the Senate with the articles of impeachment.
