Trump did fine. If they didn't use one pretext to impeach him, they'd use another, and this one is so groundless, that it's as good as any.When he trusted the protocol to listen in on his conversation. He should have insisted on a private line. I hope he understands that he is the target of the deep state nameless bureaucrats that will work tirelessly to protect their turfs.
Cocaine Mitch Calls Pelosi’s Bluff On Withholding Articles of Impeachment
Last night, Nancy Pelosi decided to adopt one of the dumbest strategies anyone has ever thought of in regards to how to handle impeachment. Namely, she’s threatening to not send the articles of impeachment, which passed last night in the House, to the Senate. This would mean Democrats are obstructing their own impeachment push.
For some reason, the far-left has convinced themselves that this will somehow bestow upon them great leverage by which to pummel Mitch McConnell with.
The Democrat message right now: Because Trump obstructed the House we are going to prevent the Senate from taking up the charges against him, and also he's such an "urgent threat" to America that we must rush to impeach him right now and then block the Senate from taking action.

Mitch McConnell’s response? Make my day.
With support for impeachment dropping by the day, the Democrats come across as just playing games, which is exactly what they are doing.
Pelosi has left her party with no out and now she’s got to live with the consequences. If she sends impeachment to the Senate, Trump is acquitted and gets to brag about it. If she doesn’t, voters will conclude impeachment was nothing but a political sham that was never serious in the first place.
No matter how Democrats play this, a losing hand awaits them. McConnell calling her bluff just adds insult to injury.
