Sen. Mitch McConnell has had enough of Nancy Pelosi’s games and give the Speaker of the House a deadline of the end of the week to send over the articles of impeachment or else the Senate will move on to other business:

McConnell says if articles of impeachment aren't sent by the end of the week the Senate they'll start working on other business: "We will operate under the assumption hat house democrats are too embarrassed to ever move forward." — Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) January 9, 2020

Do not mess with Cocaine Mitch:

MCCONNELL:"Should future House majorities feel empowered to waste our time w/ junior varsity political hostage situations?Should future Speakers be permitted to conjure up this sword of Damocles at will & leave it hanging over the Senate unless we do what they say? Of course not" — Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) January 9, 2020

Not just a mistake, a YUGE mistake:

Seems like Dems have made a strategic mistake in allowing the "process" of impeachment overshadow the "substance" — including the interviews, testimony and documents we already know. https://t.co/P6FW46ddfA — Mark Murray (@mmurraypolitics) January 9, 2020

Or is the “fake bravado” on the part of Sen. McConnell?

If Mitch McConnell is in the catbird seat here, why isn't he holding the vote on the rules? We should all be asking that question, IMHO. And this is fake bravado from Mitch, since Trump wants an acquittal. — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) January 9, 2020

Or not:

um… because we can't vote on the rules until we have the articles? — Conn Carroll (@conncarroll) January 9, 2020

Cocaine Mitch wins again.

Newsflash, this AIN’T good, Nan: Even House Dems call Nancy Pelosi out, tell her to p*ss or get off the impeachment pot https://t.co/Juv5MDhhDg — Twitchy Team (@TwitchyTeam) January 9, 2020
