Trump will try to block Bolton impeachment testimony; Senate to get case next week, Pelosi says

8. not quite what pelosi said....

She said she asked {house whip - forgot name) to be ready to hold a vote next tuesday. She didn't say the vote would be on the managers, just sending over the articles.

So Tuesday they vote to send them over, then by the end of the week they arrive, but what about the managers? She will likely schedule a second vote the following week to name them.

Then the sotu happens. But unless moscow pushes to change the rules and hold an immediate vote, there is no way it will be done in time to finish before the sotu.

Which was her real goal. To have him run out of oxygen while giving the sotu and flying off in some rant.

He wouldn't be able to control himself. She would be right behind him burning a hole in his dimented ego.

Trump won't be able to set up his oxygen cannon in the podium like he does at the rallies. That's probably how he survives them - a constant blast of pure oxygen blowing in his face.

So it's more of a game of chicken, with the sotu being the train.
