Remember when McConnell was 'fine' with Pelosi withholding impeachment articles? Not anymore

How do you know when you have Senate Majority Leader over a barrel? When he starts accusing you of "shameless game-playing," as he did of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the Senate floor Wednesday afternoon. “The House Democrats’ turn is over," McConnell said, complaining about Pelosi’s refusal to transmit Trump’s impeachment articles to the upper chamber. "The Senate has made its decision. There will be no haggling with the House over Senate procedure." McConnell later tweeted a similar sentiment from his Twitter account. ....

Pelosi maintains the upper hand whether she transmits impeachment articles or not

If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plays her cards right, she has already won her high-stakes match-up with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over the Senate impeachment trial. McConnell said Tuesday that he has enough Republican votes to proceed to a Senate trial without committing to the inclusion of witnesses and new documents, and he called on Pelosi to send the articles. Pelosi responded Tuesday night with a statement urging McConnell to "immediately publish" the resolution he plans to pass so that she can appoint floor managers and transmit the articles. ....

WATCH: House Democrats unveil 2 articles of impeachment against Trump

House Democrats on Tuesday morning announced two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. The articles charge that the president committed high crimes and misdemeanors serious enough to merit being removed from office. “He endangers our democracy; he endangers our national security,” Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., of the House Judiciary Committee said during the Dec. 10 announcement. The first article charges the president abused his power by withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigations into his political rivals, and the second charges that the president also directed "unprecedented" and "categorical" obstruction of Congress in its investigation into whether the president withheld military aid to Ukraine for personal benefit.....
