The way I understand it according to what Pelosi said after the vote is the trial cannot begin until the speaker delivers the Articles to the Senate. They may not be delivered until the calling of witnesses and handing over of documents settled. It's going to look bad if Trump and the GOP Senators appear to hiding evidence and protecting the President from testimony and it drags on for months. She may have put the ball in their court.

The trial cannot begin???

I thought the House initiated the trial and it continues in the senate. That not correct?

That Trump withheld aid in exchange for Ukraine making a public statement that they were investigating Biden for the sole purpose of benefiting Trump.

I thought every one knew that by now.

Then why did many of them state they decided to impeach him before that call?

Also, lol at that charge. I didnt think it was possible but the Dems are more stupid than the GOO. They have always been the party of evil, but now they are the party of stupid and evil. Impeaching someone because of dislike.

They mean the same thing. I'm not having this argument again. The facts are: (1) The Trump Admistration placed a freeze on Congressionally authorized military aid to the Ukraine in the middle of July. (2) The whistleblower's complaint was filed on August 12th. (3) President Zelensky was scheduled to appear on CNN for an interview with Fareed Zakaria on September 5th to, presumably, announce an investigation into the Bidens. (4) This was canceled once the House Oversight Committee became aware of the whistleblower's complaint on September 3rd and demanded that it be forwarded to them. (5) At first, the White House refused to forward the whistleblower's complaint to Congress as required by law. After Mitch McConnell declined to come to their defense over their refusal to forward the complaint to Congress, (6) the White House then lifted the freeze on military aid on September 9th and (7) then forwarded the whistleblower complaint to the House Oversight Committee on September 16th.

The chronology is very clear on this matter: The Trump Administration did not release the hold on the military aid to the Ukraine until AFTER they became aware of the content of the whistleblower complaint and therefore, had no choice but to do so. They knew what was coming.... and every indication we have, is that President Zelensky would have complied with Trump's demand of announcing an investigation into the Bidens on CNN on September 5th - but the whistleblower complaint changed everything.

Because of the multiple instances of obstruction highlighted in the Mueller report.

House "trial" is more akin to Grand Jury. Senate hears the evidence delivered by the House and convicts or acquits.

This is why there's controversy around Schumer demanding new investigatory witnesses. Theoretically the House should have developed the case.

Pelosi said she will wait to send articles to Senate until she see details of trial manager. Cannot make this crap up.

Or don't take it to the courts and just move forward without that testimony. Nothing unconstitutional about that strategy.

Ok. Then it is no longer valid as a talking point or another moral victory. If called, and dont appear, then the leaders choose to not wait for the remedy, that's on them. Moot point.

He's right they don't just hate Trump. They hate all 60 million of us Americans who voted for him. Remember to them were just deplorables who cling to our guns & religion.

Were just racist smelly Walmart people to them that live in parts of the country they don't give a damn about.

True. That's why it's hysterical when the repubs cry about a lack of fact witnesses.
