Prediction: Nancy Pelosi will hold the articles of impeachment through the November 2020 election in order to get the Senate back in Democrat hands

After which she'll send the articles up to the Senate and get Trump convicted and expelled.

Her justification will be McConnell refusing to give Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland a hearing in 2016.

It's a gamble because the articles will have to be reauthorized in the next Congress, and presumes a Democrat sweep of both chambers. But what have they got to lose, except failure now or failure later?

Better to fail later and try to make political hay now while the sun shines.
