The idea of waiting to send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate is brilliant

159. But the issue is that there is no chance in hell he'll be removed from office before his term ends

They can send the articles to the Senate tomorrow but McConnell won't act on them until after Trump is out of office.

But worse, if McConnell gets control of the Articles while he is Majority Leader, he will take action to make sure either there is no trial at all (through a motion to dismiss) or that a trial is even more of a kangaroo court than last year's trial was and that Trump would be acquitted in the blink of an eye.

The only way to maintain any possibility of a conviction or any other punishment is if the House maintains control of the articles until the Democrats take control of the Senate and THEN send them over.

But sending the Articles to Mitch won't have any more likelihood of success than the impeachment you opposed last year would.

This isn't a political game. In fact, it's just the opposite. Rushing the articles to the Senate in order to appear to be moving swiftly would be a political game done just for show. Holding them back may make Congress look like they're not moving as fast as some may want. But it's the only way to have a chance to actually accomplish anything.
