Pelosi's announcement comes as President Donald Trump says he'd block his former national security adviser from testifying in the Senate impeachment trial. "I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate," she wrote."I will be consulting with you at our Tuesday House Democratic Caucus meeting on how we proceed further."

Trump, in a Fox News interview excerpt released Friday, called Pelosi's actions"ridiculous," adding:"She should have sent them a long time ago. It just belittles the process."

What a travesty she has made of the United States of America! A complete self centered egotistical waste of time.

Pelosi is a pragmatist & a strategist. McConnell is a partisan Russian tool; Trump is an item with multiple owners, none of them American. If McConnell takes, then violates, the Senator’s Oath, he should be held in contempt of Congress.

Same thing with Pelosi.

What times are the games on this Sunday?

Three weeks waiting for McConnell and the GOP to acknowledge rules instead of just rubber stamping an aquittal which is what THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO. That is unexceptable. The Guilty party refuses to testify and continues to obstruct others. That is all you need to know.

....MRS PELOSI., PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANYTHING.. UNTIL THE GOP SENATE DO THE JOB ARE BEING PAID FOR AND ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.... MAKE AMERICA HONEST AGAIN

She's ridiculous

About time! Let's make it happen

Pelosi totally miscalculated this entire process and it will cost her.

In my untrained opinion Pelosi seems certifiable and on the edge of a nervous breakdown! . Certainly incapable of competent leadership. Time to dump Nancy

Stand your ground Speaker Pelosi. You are doing the right thing. Don't worry about fellow Democrats. They don't have the courage that you do. Follow through..That is why You are the Speaker of the House of Representatives!!!!!!

Stand your ground Nancy. The American people are with you. Trump can't have his cake and eat it too. If Trump is still fighting Witnesses Appeari, he is guilty as hell.

Nancy wants to send impeachment documents over to Senate; however, in this same document, Trump wants to block Bolton from testifying? Trump is conducting himself as a guilty man! If you or I were in Trump's impeachment position, would not we want Witnesses? Odd. Guilty!!!!

Translation: Senate was moving forward without her so she had to do something. This isn't hard,

This is a sham impeachment NBC is fake news

Trump is guilty of everything! The proof is in his constant obstruction of evidence anf justice

Hello momma Nancy

Ok, we know how this ends. Let’s get it over with.

Did she finally finish rehab

Trump threatens to block Bolton testimony in impeachment trialPresident Donald Trump suggested Friday he’d block possible testimony by his former national security adviser in the Senate’s impeachment trial. So now he’s admitting that the crimes he committed are terrible enough that they would embarrass the office of the president. It’s a promise. Closed door testimony?

Pelosi Says House Will Continue to Hold On to Articles of Impeachment Against TrumpHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would continue to hold on to the articles of impeachment, arguing the Senate still needs to show ‘what the terms of engagement will be’ in President Trump’s trial. I guess she’ll turn as blue as her pantsuit while she holds her breath. If the House had done all they could to have an open and shut case to send to the Senate, she wouldn't be playing this game. They know it's a loser and Laurence Tribe has convinced them this strategy is a winner. Good. Mitch McConnell and the GOP have betrayed the nation.

Schiff throws cold water on bringing Bolton to House Intel before Senate trialHouse Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff told CNN on Thursday that his committee has no plans to hear testimony from former national security adviser John Bolton before President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate, arguing there's 'little to be gained' by going that route at this moment. The case is complex Anyone ever get the feeling we are all being played by both side? Why doesn’t CNN demand the so called whistleblower to testify? You know, the person who started all this.
