Maybe I'm obtuse, but I don't get this. They could have called all these witnesses and documents in the House. The appeals process in the Senate would be just as lengthy (despite what some people have said here about Roberts being able to rule instantly). What am I missing?https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1221587345092292609 …

I'd also like to understand the Speaker's reasoning for holding four senators of her party back from campaigning in Iowa.

Because she was trying to NOT interfere with the election. There is still time for the Rs to run another candidate. Waiting for the courts could have pushed past the point where Rs could field anyone. That's my guess anyway.

IIRC, Trump asserted that the House couldn't call a number of the witnesses they requested and it was working through the courts.

That's what I mean about the appeals process having to go through, one way or the other

It's interfering with the election right now, though. Four senators can't campaign in Iowa

Think probably the idea that it was going to take forever in courts in House (and maybe go wrong way) and in Senate either GOP agrees to back move, and administration can’t refuse, or GOP lawmakers don’t and look especially craven.

Somewhere in calculus is idea that additional US voters are going to be very hard to sway unless we get huge bombshells or amazingly glaring GOP dereliction of duty, and Senate GOP are very unlikely to convict.
