Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has won a political game of chess against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding the next step of the impeachment against President Trump, according to CNN's Alisyn Camerota.
House Democrats passed two articles of impeachment against the president late last year for abuse of power and another on obstruction of Congress following the scandal surrounding his July 25 phone call with the president of Ukraine, during which he asked the foreign leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Pelosi has since withheld the articles from the Senate, citing her lack of confidence a Senate trial would be fair.
Senate Democrats want to hear from more witnesses during a trial, an idea McConnell has balked at. Republicans on Capitol Hill have argued that Pelosi's hesitation proves the fast-paced House impeachment process was not as urgent as she claimed. The Senate Majority leader said Wednesday he has the votes to amend Senate rules to push ahead with the trial without the articles.

McConnell has taken lessons from the Maestro himself; President Trump, the Greatest 4D chess player ever...
Pelosi is suffering from dementia and can't think straight. The media puppet masters that hate Trump are running the whole dumbocrat party off of a bridge.
I'm going to run out of popcorn.
Just amazing how much time and effort the House (Dems) spend on Trump. Another Resolution against Trump and Iran. When are these babies going to grow up. I'm running out of patience.
She & her co-conspirators have OUT-MANEUVERED Themself !
On the bright side for Dems. when Trump wins the 2020 election they will have another four years to keep trying to impeach him...
