3. I believe Pelosi is waiting for some external events to happen before she acts.

I think she will eventually send the Articles over, but I believe circumstances will have changed when she sends them over. Also, I believe she thinks if she can get 4 or 5 Republicans to agree to witnesses, then she would consider that a victory. She is a realist. She does not anticipate enough Senators will vote for conviction and removal. A victory would be if she got a simple majority to convict. That is about the best scenario that Democrats could hope for.
