Face it people, she whiffed it. If she had waited 24 hours for the release of the transcript this entire circus would have stopped dead in the water. Schiff believed he had a smoking gun without ever having seen the actual document. He sold it to the squad and the other radicals and they essentially forced Pelosi to pull the trigger.
In case you hadn’t noticed, the Articles do NOT include bribery. Is that because one of the elements is missing, because the Dems got busted using focus groups, or both?
Obstruction of Congress is missing some critical elements. 1. Pelosi failed to even issue subpoenas for some of her “witnesses”. 2. Pelosi failed to pursue the Privilege claims in court. The long established precedent in forcing the Executive to produce information and witnesses is through the federal court process. It’s known as the balance of power between branches. If the courts had ruled in favor of the House and Trump still refused….but that didn’t happen.
Abuse of Power is nothing more than a dredge net for a fishing expedition. The aid package was released within the mandated period, Ukraine did nothing at all in return for it, and in fact Ukraine was not even aware of the “hold” until the very end of the 54 days. No, don’t claim they did know unless you can prove it. None of the 17 witnesses were willing to make such a statement under oath, so your speculation is not germane.
