Pelosi intends to impeach President Trump *four full weeks* after the House voted for it, pulling Biden's rivals off the campaign trail ahead of the February 3 Iowa caucuses.
The hard socialist wing of the Democratic Party thought they bullied Pelosi into impeachment... and then she deployed it as a weapon against their POTUS candidates. She's still got it.
Pelosi wasn't outplayed. She never was under any illusion that she could control anything about the Senate trial other than the timing. It was just a pretext.
