Pelosi hints at postponing the sending of articles of impeachment to the Senate.
McConnell isn't amused. He plans to call her bluff in a mid-morning floor speech, saying she's afraid to hand him the baton because she knows the articles are weak. 'Pelosi suggested that House Democrats may be too afraid to even transmit their shoddy work product to the Senate,' he will say, mocking her suggesting in a post-vote press conference that she'll hold the two articles over McConnell's head until he agrees to a 'fair' trial. The majority leader's staff began trickling out excerpts of his floor speech overnight. Wednesday's landmark House votes put the capstone on 'the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history,' he will say, calling Democrats' final condemnation of the president 'fundamentally unlike any articles that any prior House of Representatives has ever passed.'
