I’ll add a fourth benefit, quoting from my colleague [Gail Collins](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf8b85P0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMi8yNC9vcGluaW9uL2ltcGVhY2htZW50LXRydW1wLXBlbG9zaS5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9ZGF2aWQtbGVvbmhhcmR0JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjAwMTAzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE0OTM3JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjAwMjAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMjAyMDAxMDNXA255dEIKACU5Og9eeAXe9lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA): The delay draws attention “to the fact that the jury is fixed.” Pelosi’s stated reason for the delay is a desire to see the Senate agree to fair trial rules, including the calling of witnesses. In the slow-news period of the last two weeks, Pelosi’s gambit has worked fairly well. It may still have a few more weeks to run. Ultimately, though, I don’t see how a refusal to send the articles will be good for Democrats. Why? Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate leader, is as skilled at holding together his caucus as Pelosi is at holding together hers. He is unlikely to lose the four Republicans who would need to vote against him to allow Democrats to help set the trial rules. And I think a long standoff — in which Pelosi threatens never to send the articles — would create new problems for Democrats. It would suggest they didn’t have the courage of their convictions when impeaching Trump. They instead would have chosen a strange half measure, Impeachment Light. For now, Pelosi’s move has worked better than I [expected](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf8b85P0TYaHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWMubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vZW1haWwtY29udGVudC9UWV9zYW1wbGUuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPWRhdmlkLWxlb25oYXJkdCZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIwMDEwMz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNDkzNyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIwMDIwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMjAwMTAzVwNueXRCCgAlOToPXngF3vZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

Holding onto the articles is the only leverage Pelosi has on McConnell, who says he won’t take up USMCA until after any impeachment trial. …[Congressional scholar Norm] Ornstein told The Daily Beast that he thinks Pelosi can extend through February, ‘keeping all options open,’ he said. ‘In moments of this kind, my lodestar is whatever Pelosi does is best.’ … The calculation now is that Trump wants the Senate trial to be over with as quickly as possible so he can spend 2020 touting his exoneration. Dragging it out increases the risk of more potentially damaging information emerging, which in turn could prompt more people to come forward with what they know.
