House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declined to answer questions as she entered the Capitol today on when she'll send the articles of impeachment to the Senate.

"That is not something I will be discussing right now, as you can imagine. We'll take it one step at a time," she said when asked.

She also would not comment specifically on whether she prefers to send before or after inauguration on Jan. 20

Some context: House Majority Whip James Clyburn said Sunday House Democrats might wait until after President-elect Joe Biden's first 100 days in office to send any articles of impeachment against Trump to the Senate, a move that would give the incoming President time to tackle his agenda in Congress before the start of a time-consuming trial.

1. This makes sense. They are likely coordinating with Schumer

IMHO, they would wait until Schumer is in control, then the Democrats should vote to send the impeachment investigation to committee. The committee could do weeks or months of devastating coverage while the Senate quickly passes Democratic legislation.

Also, one interpretation is that the Senate can't start until the House names impeachment managers. So the House could send the articles but delay naming the managers.
