There are no crimes in the articles. It's not up to the Senate to make the case for the House. Why give them any validation at all?

The Dems in the House keep asserting that Trump didn't ask "How high?" when they asked him to jump. They keep pushing that they're a "co-equal branch of government". Yet they didn't pursue taking their subpoenas to court to have the 3rd co-equal branch arbitrate (probably because they had nothing to stand on but their anger).

My hope is that the Dems pay dearly for this BS. They cheapened the process based on lies and deception.

There are several pending federal court cases concerning House subpoenas and Executive Privilege.
For instance: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...na/2696585001/
Some pundits have suggested that is the reason the House is delaying sending to the Senate. If the court rules that the witnesses must appear, they can then add more "evidence" to their case before the Senate.

Those cases are from the Executive pushing back. They didn't appear to be necessary for the impeachment vote in the House.

As we suspected, albeit against much criticism, House counsel Doug Letter has responded to the DC Appeals Court arguing the forced testimony of White House counsel Don McGahn is needed for evidence in impeachment trial. [Court pdf Avail Here]

This court filing today bolsters the unspoken background motive for delayed House Impeachment Managers. The House Judiciary Committee is using impeachment as support for their ongoing effort to gain: Don McGahn deposition, and Mueller grand jury material (6e). The goal is opposition research; impeachment is a tool to establish legal standing to obtain it. Everything else is chaff and countermeasures.
