Same terms as when you lost to Manic! ... was it stay off RS altogether or just a thread? And no cheating by failing or thanking ... notta, stay the hell off. Think you can win this one?

She doesn't have much reason to withhold the articles now that it's understood they won't have impeachment to hold over the Senate's head until they do (other than tying up candidates in chambers for the primaries).
Her far left colleagues who pushed her into this mess are likely to push with the proceedings and have him officially impeached.
Either that or she doesn't send them at all, knowing that this case will inevitably die in the Senate if they do. Impeachment has already lost popularity, even amongst democrats.
All in all, this was a poor move (IMO) politically with the consequences likely to be seen in November with the possibility of them losing the house while increasing Trump's favorability.
Unless there is more evidence for this case that they're withholding but i doubt it.
