Did madam speaker passed the article of impeachment to the senate for trial?

Counting on voters to be distracted by the self imposed conflict in the middle east that's coming back to bite. Think we can do both.
Article 1 isn't legally valid and 2 doesn't meet the standard. It's over. Maybe Pelosi will refuse to transmit, then Senate will throw it out anyway. All your reporting on it has been crap & heavily biased. American people didn't buy it.
Good. Nancy wants to hold the articles then get back to confirming conservative judges

senatemajldr what are you hiding? 71% want a fair and impartial trial. If Trump is innocent then calling witnesses shouldn’t be a problem. If you are covering for his crimes you should be slow walked out of Senate in hand-cuffs.

Rep. Dean: Mitch McConnell can’t whisk away that Trump was impeachedRep. Madeleine Dean says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's refusal to negotiate the terms of the Senate impeachment trial doesn't change the fact that President Trump was impeached. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pathetic No....but will be acquitted! Still President. Pelosi wants her demand to senate that they will find Trump guilty for removal. She wants no innocence verdict considered. Good luck with that demand. She has no leverage over senate.

McConnell Says Senate Can’t Hold Impeachment Trial Before Pelosi Sends Over ArticlesSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the chamber can’t hold a trial of President Trump if the House doesn’t send over articles of impeachment, throwing cold water on an idea that had gained traction among conservatives. SO! Don't do anything , just let it die off. Pelosi can take her articles to her grave with her Actually the Senate could change its rules and accept the articles from the Congressional Record and invite the a House to participate That’s fine - hold it until after the election-security if he gets re-elected. It only takes a few seats to flip the Senate. Then we will have a real trial with witnesses and then remove him from office.
