   It is totally unprecedented in American history.   
      
   The House of Representatives has voted Articles of Impeachment   
   against President Trump and then refused to do anything else.   
   Nothing. In a way the use of the US Constitution as a prop to   
   try to gain transitory electoral advantage is pretty much a page   
   out of the American left’s playbook.

   Why she’s mewling about a fair trial an other obvious bullsh**,   
   what Pelosi is really dealing with is trying to de-stick herself   
   from this tarbaby. No matter how popular impeachment is at The   
   Bulwark and The Dispatch and San Francisco, the issue is a total   
   dog in key states the Democrats must win in order to defeat   
   Donald Trump. The charges against him are certifiably bizarre.   
   The way the impeachment inquiry was conducted would have made   
   Roland Freisler green with envy. If the charges are summarily   
   dismissed…or worse yet, the House “impeachment managers” are   
   forced to present the dog’s breakfast of a case to the American   
   people in the face of an actual defense, the Democrats are going   
   to suffer significant political damage.   
      
   Pelosi’s only way out of this is to try to convince the public   
   that her interjecting herself into the affairs of the Senate is   
   appropriate, and, failing that, that there is nothing unusual   
   about Pelosi holding onto the Articles of Impeachment.   
      
   This is where Michigan Democrat Debbie Dingell comes in. If   
   you’ve never heard of her before this week,there is a good   
   reason. She’s a mediocrity who won an House seat because her   
   husband, dead Democrat John Dingell, was able to see to her   
   succeeding him when he had to retire.   
      
   She was on Fox News Sunday, telling a huge lie and trying to   
   gaslight you into believing that there is absolutely nothing   
   amiss with the House Speaker sitting on Articles of Impeachment.   
      
   Chris Wallace: All right. Why is Speaker Pelosi delaying in   
   sending the articles of impeachment over to the Senate and how   
   long is she willing and prepared to wait?   
      
   Debbie Dingell: So, I don’t know what the timeframe will be, but   
   I would like to remind people that when President Clinton was   
   impeached, he was impeached on December 19th and the managers   
   were not appointed until January 6th. The Congress doesn’t   
   return until January 6th and was kind of referred to by Marc   
   Short earlier. There were two resolutions at that time. One was   
   a resolution to proceed that was passed by 100 to 0 and then   
   there was a second resolution about who the witnesses would be.   
      
   This is a lie. The House passed Articles of Impeachment by about   
   noon on Saturday, December 19, 1998. By 3 p.m. that same day the   
   House had appointed impeachment managers and forwarded the   
   Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. This is from CNN on   
   Saturday, December 19, 1998:   
      
   WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, December 19) — A deeply divided House   
   of Representatives impeached President Bill Clinton Saturday on   
   charges of lying under oath to a federal grand jury and   
   obstructing justice in the Monica Lewinsky affair. The two   
   allegations of “high crimes and misdemeanors” next go to the   
   Senate for trial.   
      
   Enough Republicans broke ranks to defeat the two other articles   
   of impeachment recommended one week ago by the House Judiciary   
   Committee. Those accused Clinton of committing perjury in his   
   deposition in the Paula Jones case and abusing his power in his   
   efforts to cover up his sexual relationship with Lewinsky, a   
   former White House intern.   
      
   Committee Chairman Henry Hyde, who will prosecute the case in   
   the Senate, delivered the impeachment articles to the Secretary   
   of the Senate at 3 p.m. ET. The trial is expected to get   
   underway in mid-January after the 106th Congress takes office.   
      
   There was a subsequent reappointment of impeachment managers as   
   a new House was sworn in before the Senate took up the trial and   
   the resolution passed by the previous House had expired with it.   
   That is not the case here.   
      
   Here’s the thing. Dingell either knew she lied on television or   
   she’s a moron. I’m open to either scenario but I tend to believe   
   she’s just a liar. Chris Wallace just let the lie go. I say let   
   it go because there is nothing in his history that leads me to
