If Democrats don't submit their articles of impeachment to the Senate they are waiving their claim

NY Times:

Trump Impeachment Trial in Doubt as Democrats Weigh Withholding Articles

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would wait to see what the trial in the Senate would look like before
sending the two articles of impeachment there, leaving the timing in doubt.
If she never sends them they will expose for how frivolous the original case the Democrats passed is.   It is not like the Democrats were not aware that a partisan impeachment would result in an acquittal by a GOP controlled Senate.  They also know that their articles are at best BS claims that do not meet the constitutional standard for impeachment.  In fact, they are antithetical to the framers' stated intent.

It will also be hard for them and their media cohorts to make the argument that they are a stain on Trump's record when they are so weak that they are trying to extort the Senate into calling witnesses they would not call in the House.  The Democrats' process is a disgrace to the Congress and it deserves a rebuke by the Senate.  A failure to present the case to the Senate is, in fact, an admission of their mal intent.
