With any luck, by this time tomorrow night, the Schiff circus will have ended its run in the Senate with a vote not to allow Democrats to 'Kavanaugh' the hearings. Perhaps there also will be a vote to end the impeachment trial in its entirely, by dismissal or verdict.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared Sunday on ABC's This Week, and she left the door open for further articles of impeachment. She's also still clinging to the fantasy that the American public will get on board with her partisan impeachment clown show.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said she will hold onto the articles of impeachment despite Senate Democrats pressuring her to hand them to the chamber:
“No, I’m not holding them indefinitely," Pelosi told reporters during a press conference at the Capitol. "I will turn them over when I’m ready, and that will probably be soon.”

House Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith (D-WA) broke with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on CNN's New Day over the articles of impeachment:
"I understand what the speaker is trying to do, basically trying to use the leverage of that to work with Democratic and Republican senators to try to get a reasonable trial, a trial that would actually show evidence, bring out witnesses," Smith told CNN. "But at the end of the day, just like we control it in the House, [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell controls it in the Senate."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) suggested on Sunday morning that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell change the impeachment rules if Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi continues to hold the articles of impeachment hostage:
"Well, we’re not going to let Nancy Pelosi use the rules of the Senate to her advantage. This is dangerous to the presidency as an institution," Graham said. "They impeached the president, but the speaker of the House is holding the articles back, trying to extort from the majority leader of the Senate a trial to her liking. They’re trying to hold these articles over the head of the president."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wasted no time on the first day back from the holiday break to attack Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Democrats over the impeachment of President Donald Trump:
"We've heard it claimed that the same House Democrats who botched their own process should get to reach over here into the Senate and dictate our process," McConnell said from the Senate floor.
