Speaker Pelosi has a reason to hold up the Articles of Impeachment.

There is new evidence. It doesn't diminish what is in the Articles at this time. There was plenty for which to impeach. For those that care to see.

Now, the Senate has gotten back to town and agreed to some rules for their sham Senate trial. Trump wants it over with quickly. Like little lap puppies, the Senate Republicans are obliged to help in any way they can. The Constitution be damned!

Unfortunately, the circumstances have changed for Pelosi.

A lot of new evidence has come out since the House voted to impeach.

There are now emails that show Donald Trump directly ordered the aid to be withheld from Ukraine.

There are twenty emails that they refused to release. They were all redacted.

And now, he has started a frigging war!

So, Pelosi should withhold the Articles for a while longer, in my opinion. The new evidence cannot be ignored.
