She knows that as soon as the impeachment articles go to the Senate, the Republican run Senate will dispense with it as quickly as possible. Mitch McConnel has already said he is not unbiased and he will work closely with Drumph and his lawyers over the course of the trial. The Congress has impeached him. If he is not convicted by a Republican biased Senate, he looks innocent. As long as he is impeached, that hangs over his head. Leaving him impeached but not indicted or unindicted leaves the impeachment hanging over his head. A good plan.
A tabled Resolution is Invalid, so actually, President Trump is not impeached. They only voted on an impeachment resolution, which if they send it to The Senate will end in an acquittal. In either case, it's not actually an impeachment.
Without sending it to The Senate, it cannot be voted on. Therefore it's as if the entire thing never happened.
Hilarious. He is impeached. Get over it as Mulvaney says. You don't understand the process. If the Congress votes to impeach him, he in impeached. End of. It hasn't been tabled, btw, they just haven't sent it to the Senate yet because McConnell won't agree to having the normal conditions of a Senate trial, first and foremost an unbiased judge and jury.

"McConnell won't agree to having the normal conditions of a Senate trial, "
It's none of Nancy Pant's business how the Senate operates. She would scream bloody murder if McConnell told her how to run the House and you know it.
It is her business to follow her oath of office and represent the people of the United States. "The House members, who are given the collective title of managers during the course of the trial, present the prosecution case, and the impeached official has the right to mount a defense with his or her own attorneys as well. Senators must also take an
oath or
affirmation that they will
perform their duties honestly and with due diligence." They are essentially the jurors in a trial and are not to prejudge the articles of impeachment. They will not perform their duty as jurors with due diligence as long as they declare, which they have, that they are already prejudiced against them. The Republicans want a Kangaroo trial...they are not going to take the trial seriously. The people of the United States have a right to expect the Senate to do a proper job and perform their duties with honesty and due diligence. Until McConnell sets out how the trial will do that, Pelosi has every right to hold off until he does. McConnell has made it clear he intends to be part of the defense of the impeached official (Trump) rather than act as an impartial juror.

/——-/ She know Dems will be in major trouble once the Republicans cross examine them.
Pelosi suggests she may wait to send impeachment articles to Senate: 'We'll make a decision ... as we go along'
